Meyers Leonard will play for the Trail Blazers' Las Vegas Summer League team in July

Meyers Leonard will play for the Trail Blazers' Las Vegas Summer League squad in July, The Columbian reports.

Analysis:

In his second NBA season, Leonard actually saw his role decrease, as he appeared in only 40 games, averaging 2.5 points in 8.9 minutes. The 22-year-old is skilled and athletic for his position, but at this point he lacks the polish necessary to warrant consistent, non-garbage time minutes. Playing in Las Vegas will offer Leonard an opportunity to improve in a setting where he'll be called up on to shoulder a much heavier burden on both ends of the court.
