In some moments it looked like Illan Pietrus could shift into a higher gear than the competition. He was just too quick and was creating havoc with his drives. His acceleration from a live dribble was on another level but he also showed good ball handling skills and froze the defenders a few times. Illan’sbody looks well built and strong and he was able to finish through contact. Shot from distance is shaky and inconsistent but he made a few tough shots over defenders but not a reliable shooter at the moment in my opinion. He is more a scoring oriented point guard and was put in the role to connect the dots in offense and in some moments he did a good job but he is not a natural born playmaker and prone to making cheap mistakes. Because of his strong body he can be a pesky defender that makes live hard for the ball handlers.
