After going undrafted in the 2013 NBA Draft, the New York Knicks signed Leslie to a multi-year contract that they eventually waived 3 months later.  During the 2013-14 season, Leslie played in the NBA D-League for the Erie BayHawks and the Idaho Stampede, and averaged 12 points and 6 rebounds in 44 games between the two squads.  Last year Leslie took his services across the pond, playing for teams in the Philippines, Korea, and Puerto Rico.  He averaged 9 points and 5 rebounds in 18 games with Anyang KGC (Korea) before leaving the team in November.  Leslie then signed on with GlobalPort Batang Pier (Philippines) for the 2015 Commissioners Cup, and averaged 29.3 points and 14.3 rebounds in 4 games.  He then followed that up with a short stint with Mets de Guaynabo in Puerto Rico.

Leslie played with the Sacramento Kings Summer League team last month, but didn’t do enough (3 ppg & 2 rig) to find a spot on an NBA roster.
