Sergio De Larrea

13.5 points – 11/28 2FG – 4/16 3FG – 4.8 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals, 4.8 tos

De Larrea was the best playmaker in Belgrade, creating a lot of chances for his teammates and averaging 6 assists per game and he got himself a spot in the All-Tournament Team. He is a solid pick and roll operator with a decent court vision, has high basketball IQ in general. Has good size and frame for his position and uses it for his advantage, showed some post moves in the event against smaller guards which we might see more in the future as a part of his game. They were a great duo with Lucas Mari and they might very well be the 2nd guard options of an ACB team starting next season. De Larrea’s athleticism is not going to be at NBA level but we’ll see if he’s going to be able to cover it with his craftiness and intelligence. Has slow pace and did not have good shot selection during the tournament, shot 15/44 from the field. His shots were not falling except the first game but has nice release, needs to be better at finishing around the rim and driving to the paint. As De Larrea gains more muscle and becomes a more reliable shooter, he can get more minutes next season with Valencia and a good EuroLeague career is not far away.

Sergio de Larrea (SG | 197 cm | ‘05) ~ Valencia

17.5 pts, FG2-63.2%, FG3-26.7%, FT-66.7%, 8.5 reb, 5.5 ass, 2.0 st, 6.5 to, 1.0 blck

A fluid swingman that was creating a lot with the ball in his hands. He was one of the best scorers and could score points almost out of any situation but showed good court vision and playmaking ability too with finding and delivering some tough passes. His shooting motion is smooth and has the potential to be an impactful scorer on any level. Even though he was playing a lot with the ball he didn’t look the most confident as a ball handler under pressure and made some sloppy mistakes when the defense pressured him.
