STRENGHTS WEAKNESSESS
  • ok frame and really good size for a scoring guard at around 6’6
  • can free himself off the ball. Good feel for backdoor cuts
  • not super tight but above average handles. Creates shots on the perimeter. Good right to left crossover
  • scoring instincts. Finds a way to put the ball in the net. Can make runs by himself
  • go-to option. Wants the ball and take the attempt
  • polished footwork shooting wise. Can occasionally post up guards thanks to height advantage and hit turnaround jumper
  • doesn’t run back quickly to defense. Dives for the ball and sacrifices body mostly on offensive end when there is a chance to score. Not overly tough or strong
  • body language looks concerning at times
  • average athlete. Not overwhelming first step. Not vertical player
  • not textbook release. Pushes the ball a little and gets it off from low point
OUTLOOK
Gleb Bednyakov has a serious scoring talent which looks superior against low level competition. However it won’t be very easy to translate his abilities against athletic and long defenders. He definitely needs shooting consistency from behind the arc to increase his chances.
