Leuer Leads Milwaukee Bucks in Shooting Percentage

Former Orono H.S. standout had a season-high 14 points against the Timberwolves.

Milwaukee Bucks rookie and former Orono High School star Jon Leuer is averaging nearly 15 minutes of floor time through the first six games of the 2011-12 NBA season.

Leuer is also gobbling up more than five rebounds a night and scored seven points in Milwaukee's game against the Sacremento Kings last night. This photo of him dunking surfaced on Twitter early Friday morning.

Production from the 40th overall pick out of Wisconsin has helped keep Milwaukee afloat in the Central Conference—3.5 games behind the first-place Chicago Bulls.
