Update On Jan Vesely

November 24, 2009

Jonathan Givony from DraftExpress has a nice update on how Jan Vesely is doing over in Europe.

Here’s an excerpt from the article:

All in all, Vesely looks like an extremely useful player with plenty of upside to continue to develop. After all, he’s only 19-years old, and is somewhat of a late-bloomer on top of that. He may not have the offensive skills or natural talent NBA teams look for in a very high pick, and probably wouldn’t fit every team’s style of play, but there will be plenty of coaches who could fall in love with his physical attributes and the energy he brings to the table. The way Omri Casspi is playing thus far with the Kings surely has to be helping his cause, as the two have some clear-cut similarities in their style of play, although Vesely’s physical tools and upside are noticeably superior.

Make sure to read the whole article as he does a great job breaking down Vesely’s game.

HoopsNext currently has Vesely being picked 16th in its 2010 Mock Draft.


Motiejunas Slowly Adjusting To New Role With Benetton Treviso

November 18, 2009

DraftExpress.com’s Jonathan Givony recently posted an article updating on the progress of top prospect Donatas Motiejunas.

Motiejunas is the top international prospect in the 2010 draft as of right now, but he is still quite a ways away from being able to contribute anything at the NBA level. It is going to take a general manager with a lot of job security to go ahead and roll the dice on him in the lottery. Check back over the weekend as we will be releasing a scouting report on Motiejunas.
