I am intrigued, but not blown away by him. He shined in U19 ball. He was ok in Adriatic League play. He's still young. The most common comparison I see for him is Gallinari, but worry it could be Bargnani. I have to admit that a 6'10 playmaker with a supposedly good basketball IQ and the ability to shoot from outside is intriguing, but unless he projects to be at least average as a defender and a lights out three point shooter, I'm using 19 on another prospect. I'm deferring to Tim Connelly's judgment here as I don't have enough info on him to feel good about him blowing up like his similarly named comrade.

I think he is generally adequate at most aspects of the game, but I can't pinpoint any one thing he does at a level above his peers besides perhaps passing the basketball. His size and youth enhances the intrigue with him, but I don't see a star player there and it's difficult to project what role he'd actually thrive in once you consider his physical limitations defensively-- not agile enough to defend wings, not strong or tough enough to handle the interior. I think he's best-suited to follow the path of Nemanja Bjelica, which is a solid player, no doubt, but not one I'd be willing to select at 19 in this draft.
This is kinda where ai land with him too. Like ai said before if he actually can make jumpers that would make him really intriguing. I'm not convinced of that. I would t hate if we took him but he isn't hat guy for me.
