In game 21, Leon Powe shot 6-10 from the floor, scoring 14 points in 17 minutes. He hasn't scored as many as eight points since. In the five games before that, he scored 2, 2, 10, 3, and 8 points on 8/20 shooting. Last year he was second on the entire team in points per minute. This year he is fifth.

Powe started the year on fire, scoring at least nine points in five of his first six games.

It's a contract year, Leon. You might want to try and be a little more consistent.

Leon is still great in the post but after game 2 noone is sleeping on him this season. It might not increase his ppg but I think he needs to pass more. Take advantage of the traffic he usually attracts under the basket and kick it out once in a while.

I agree that Leon's reduced output is mostly due to the fact that defenses are paying more attention to him. He isn't going to sneak up on people this season. I bet the Zen Mistress knows his name now and has a plan to stop him as well. Also, in recent games, Doc has been giving Big Baby more minutes than Leon. Last night Big Baby played almost 14 minutes and had 2 points and 1 rebound. Leon played 10 minutes and had 4 points 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block.
