STRENGHTS WEAKNESSESS
  • perfect physical characteristics for a Forward. Posses tremendous size and frame
  • has genetic advantage. Son of elite athlete who had great sport longevity and looked extremely well shaped even when battling incurable disease
  • even though he has always been one of the tallest players in the team, coaches took care of developing his face up game and all around skillset
  • fits perfectly the profile of modern stretch four. Shows very good confidence in his shooting ability
  • has always been good scorer in Poland. Maybe it’s not the highest level possible but instincts can be translatable after he adjusts to more physical, athletic and skilled competition
  • really good handles for someone his height
  • can play with his back to the basket. Posses refined set of technical skills to help him contribute at the next level
  • nowhere near physical peak. Matures slowly but consistently over the years. Unbelievable upside
  • possibly left Poland too late. Used to be in comfort zone too much in the environment where everything was built for and around him
  • has been always playing with his brother. Can they play together for the entire career? Or how quickly can he adapt in new environment without family members?
  • toughness comes and goes. May be the effect of previous weakness
  • less dynamic and slower than brother
OUTLOOK
Szymon has always been regarded as more talented one from the Wojcik twin brothers and is more suitable for 4 position. After playing in the best youth team in Poland and then in academy created more than less for the purpose of maximizing their potential, talented forwards took their talents to Chalon in France. Family choose the program that some notable NBA players were raised in over many Top teams in Germany, Italy and Spain. After father’s death they can either lose their focus on basketball as their biggest mentor is gone or fully commit to it in tribute to his memory. If second option happens then it won’t be a shocking after they end up on the highest level possible.
