His frame, wingspan, quickness and high-octane style of defense is comparable to that of Sidney Moncrief and Scottie Pippen.

Leonard became the first wing player to win the DPOY award since Ron Artest back in 2004. In the following year, he became the second perimeter player to win the award in consecutive years.
Though his offensive growth has overshadowed his defensive efforts, he remains one of the league’s most daunting matchups. His defensive reputation has preceded him since he was drafted out of San Diego State in 2011.
