Ruben Dominguez (SG | 197 cm | ‘03) ~ Spain

One of the best scorers in the competition. His usage rate in Spain’s national team was high and there were games where he was taking more than 10 three point shots per game. He wasn’t really consistent and had some up & downs but overall a good shooter, especially in off-screen and catch & shoot situations. Would love to see him being more aggressive in attacking the rim but he is not really that explosive in his first step and usually has a harder time getting past defenders. With his size he is able to defend guards and wings but not an elite defender. In my opinion, he is not an NBA prospect but has the potential for a nice career on the professional level in Spain/Europe.

Ruben is a shooting guard who heavily relies on his smooth 3 point shot, has a good feel, high IQ and solid game on both ends of the floor. On offense knows how to position himself and get in to open spot to pull off or drive to the basket, looks to create his own shot both from 3 and from mid-range area. Nice separation on drives, fairly fast dribble and first step able to finish inside with either hand, but not very athletic. Good timing on his passes, sees who is going to get open, careful (only 0.9to a game), willing to make an extra pass to better positioned teammate, unselfish. On the other end, sometimes forgets to box out but rotates accordingly can fairly hold is ground, if beaten recovers and contests all the way. Finished the event with 13.4pts, 3.4reb, 2.3ast and 1.6stl.
