Leo Lyons Bio

SCOUTING REPORT: While Lyons helped Missouri win its first Big 12 tournament championship and reach the NCAA regional finals for the fourth time in school history, he likely didn't boost his draft stock beyond borderline second-round status after returning for his senior season. Lyons has been slightly overshadowed by Missouri teammate DeMarre Carroll, who took MVP honors at Portsmouth Invitational draft camp in Virginia and finished ahead of him in scoring and rebounding this season. Lyons, however, averaged a respectable 13.7 points and 7.7 rebounds over three games at Portsmouth, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him in some team's training camp. If he wants to live up to his billing as a projected power forward, however, Lyons will need to beef up to play on the inside as he averaged only 5.9 rebounds over his final two seasons. If a team wants to stick Lyons on the wing, he'll need to develop a more consistent outside shot. Of Lyons' 1,231 career points, only 33 came from 3-point range. He shot 19.6 percent from behind the arc over his four seasons, but was a career 53.0 percent shooter overall.
