I think Leuer is really going to be useful as he has a very complementary game to both Andy and TT. He and Zeller are far more athletic than people realize. We might not have guys who can jump out of the gym (TT can, but it takes him 8 minutes to get off the floor) but our frontline is very fast and should be drastically improved on the defensive end.
