By Bradley Gains on March 1, 2017

Kennedy Leonard has been named to the All-Pac 12 First Team after an impressive season at Colorado University.

The sophomore guard has scored almost 500 points on the season at 17.1 points per game (ranked fourth in conference), whilst handing out 150+ assists (second).

Leonard netted a career-high 31 points in December in a win over Colorado State and also recorded two double-doubles.

Recently, the 1996-born guard came up clutch with a dagger three to help the Buffs earn a win over rivals California.

CLUTCH! @ken_leonard_14 (9p/7a) with the dagger 3 to help @CUBuffsWBB to a 64-59 victory over #24 Cal 👌 https://t.co/AKUHw2sdva 🇺🇸

Leonard was a newcomer to the GB set-up last summer and starred for the Under-20’s at the European Championships in Podgorica, Montenegro.

The Texas native averaged a team-high 12.7 points and 3.5 assists per game with a tournament-high of 24 points in the opening game.

Leonard has been playing alongside Eleanor Jones this season with the former Charnwood forward in her first year.

CU are seeded 10th in the post-season Pac-12 tournament and face Washington State in their opening game.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
