Jon Leuer (born May 14, 1989) is an American professional basketball player for the Detroit Pistons of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He was a 2011 draft pick of the Milwaukee Bucks and played in Germany during the 2011 NBA lockout.
Leuer was born in Long Lake, Minnesota and attended Orono High School in Long Lake, where he was ranked the 82nd-best college recruit in the nation from the class of 2007. One scouting report read:
"At 6-foot-10, 228-pounds, Leuer definitely needs some time to fill out his frame for high-major competition. Nonetheless, he is a pure shooter with good overall skills with the ball. He can knock down a jump hook and can play off the dribble. He moves well up and down the court, but has a ways to go defensively and as a rebounder. Could be an impact player with his size and unique skill set if he does get stronger."
Another one stated:
"Flew under the radar prior to the spring of 2006. Excellent player from behind the stripe, especially when you consider that he pushes 6-10. Face up four man will need to add strength to reach his potential. Could be an Andrew Brackman type of forward."
His junior year, he averaged 18 points and 8 rebounds per game and earned honorable mention all-state and first-team all-conference honors. He averaged 23.2 points and 12.0 rebounds per game as a senior and was selected to Minnesota State All-star game while landing second-team all-state and first-team all-conference honors. He ended up with 35 double digit scoring games and a career high of 37.
He played AAU basketball with the Minnesota Magic.
Leuer had originally entered high school as a guard, but had a 10-inch growth spurt before his senior year.
