Bradley 2021 commit- Malevy Leons

[bradleyfan124]

I'd take another Christian Wood. After a nice couple years at UNLV, and he's been in the NBA for 6 years. He's averaging 21.0 ppg and 9.6 rpg for the Houston Rockets this season.
I've tried thinking of a former MVC player who looked comparable, and the most recent I can think of was Cleanthony Early of Wichita State.
That may be unfair, since earley had a terrific career in his 2 seasons in the MVC. We can only hope Leons has similar success. Early lead their 2013-14 team to a 34-0 regular season. He was a 1st team All-MVC in 2013 & 2014, and an All-American in 2014.

Did he take pay cut when he went from Wichita to the NBA?

Probably, and he got some quick lessons on shooting and the NY NBA lifestyle - https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/...nee-strip-club

I remember Early very well - he was a great one.
I don't think I've heard of Christian Wood.

Watched Leons receive his Male player of the year award tonight. He did a great job with his speech. Seems like a class act and it was great hearing the Presenter mention he was continuing his playing career at Bradley University.
