Leake is quick enough so he can position himself in front of rumbling forwards and take the charge, or he can knock the ball out of opposing centers' hands.
McClain is left on the perimeter to defend the point guard. It's easy to judge McClain's effectiveness: McKee, the Engineers' point guard, scored three points in 22 minutes.
Not bad, but the flip side of having Leake under the basket is the fact that the opponent's shooting guard is covered by a forward, usually Tyler Rullman.
The Engineers' shooting guard, Chuck Penn, lit up the Crimson for 21 points.
But winning starts with the guards, and McClain and Leake have shown themselves to be capable of leading this Crimson team.
The potential is there, even if the consistency has yet to come.
