He was, but no comparison to Plumlee.
I have to agree with 79cane. I'm tight fisted when giving credit, but Mason Plumlee displayed a lot of gifts in the MickyD game. He's heady, tough, and athletically gifted (he can leap, run and has good hands). He may not be as wide as Brand, but neither was Leightner. I'm optimistic.
Maybe I'll remember how to spell it, now.
