With original choice Rod Benson exceeding the pro league’s given height limit, the GlobalPort Batang Pier turned their sights on another Korean Basketball League veteran in CJ Leslie. A former high school teammate of current Washington Wizards star guard John Wall at the Word of God Christian Academy, Leslie suited up for North Carolina State in college, helping the Wolfpack advance to the NCAA tournament for two straight seasons in 2011 and 2012. He averaged 15.1 points and 7.4 rebounds during his junior season, enough to be included to the Second Team All-ACC team. Despite getting snubbed in the 2013 NBA rookie draft, Leslie plaid his wares in the NBA D-League with the Erie BayHawks and was selected to the D-League’s All Rookie Third Team in 2013. He was then traded to the Idaho Stampede before bringing his act to the Anyang KGC in Korea last year.
