Leonard was the 11th overall selection by the Portland Trail Blazers during the 2012 NBA draft. He signed his rookie contract with the Trail Blazers on July 13. Leonard made his NBA debut on October 31, 2012. He played 23 minutes and scored four points against the Los Angeles Lakers. On November 21, 2012, he made his debut against the Phoenix Suns. He finished with 12 points and 5 boards. He had his best season with 22 points, 10 rebounds and a loss against the Golden State Warriors on March 30, 2013.

Leonard’s numbers dipped from his rookie to sophomore season, falling behind fellow second-year big man Joel Freeland as the primary backup to starter Robin Lopez. He saw action in 29 fewer games in 2013–14, with his minutes and points per game cut in half, as the Blazers transformed from a lottery team to a playoff contender. On January 2, 2014, he had a season-best game with 8 points and 10 rebounds in a 134–104 win over the Charlotte Bobcats.

Leonard’s older brother, Bailey, is a U.S. Marine who has served in Afghanistan. Leonard’s dog, Bella died of cancer in December of 2017.

Leonard was a high school basketball player and was named to the Illinois All- State Team 2010. Leonard was the leader of Robinson High School to IHSA class 2A championship. He then chose to play collegiate basketball for the University of Illinois.

Leonard was a sophomore in 2011-12 and averaged 13.6 points per game and 8.2 rebounds per games. Leonard was named Big 10’s Co-Player for the Week on December 5, 2011. He averaged 16.5 points per game and 6.0 rebounds in two Illinois victories. Leonard was also named Big 10 Co-Player of the Week December 26, 2011, after scoring 16.5 points per game and grabbing 14.5 rebounds in two games. Leonard was awarded Honorable Mention All Big-10 after the season. Then, he entered the NBA draft.

In 2014–15, Leonard played only 13 total minutes in Portland’s first 9 games as he was stuck in the big man rotation behind Lopez, Freeland and Chris Kaman. On November 15, 2014, with LaMarcus Aldridge scratched with an upper respiratory illness against the Brooklyn Nets, Leonard picked up the start at power forward, playing 29 minutes. With his first major minutes at the power forward spot, he performed admirably, tallying 12 rebounds and hitting a three-pointer. He went on to pick up DNPs in 11 of the next 12 games. But when Lopez broke his hand going up for a rebound against the San Antonio Spurs on December 15, Leonard got another chance to show that he deserved time on the court. His improvement was incremental, but noticeable, over the following seven weeks. His play while Lopez was out earned him time to prove himself. He only saw six DNPs after the turn of the year, and grew in confidence despite limited minutes. At the season’s end, Leonard had produced a remarkable Steve Nash-like 50/40/90 season, shooting 51% from the field, 42% from three-point range, and 93% from the free throw line. In the penultimate game of the regular season on April 13, he scored a career-high 24 points in a loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. He went on to record a playoff-best game with 13 points and 13 rebounds in a win over the Memphis Grizzlies in Game 4 of Portland’s first-round series. The Blazers lost the series 4–1.
