Physical conditioning has never been a huge issue for Portland Trail Blazers forward-center Meyers Leonard. Since Portland selected him with the 11th overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft, Leonard has demonstrated quickness, shooting touch, and occasionally-impressive hops considering his listed height of 7’1. If the summer workout pictures he flashed on Twitter the last couple of days are any indication, Leonard may be taking it to a new level this year.
Here’s the suite of photos:
