GARY LEONARD

The first second-round draft pick in Timberwolves history, and their second-ever amateur draft pick (following 1989 first-round pick Pooh Richardson), Gary Leonard didn't really have any basketball skills.  But he was 7'1".  And that'll get you drafted.

In his one season in Minnesota for the inaugural Wolves, he appeared in 22 games.  He scored 32 points, grabbed 27 rebounds, and committed 26 personal fouls.  Following the 1990 addition of Felton Spencer, Leonard was waived prior to the 1990-91 season.  He spent most of that year in the CBA before resurfacing in the NBA for a couple of brief stints with the Atlanta Hawks.
