STRENGHTS WEAKNESSESS
  • true point guard. Always looks to get his teammates involved
  • basketball IQ. Possess a level of maturity beyond his years
  • high confidence guy, leader on the court, floor general at this level
  • very good ball handling
  • court vision, ability to find the open guy even in crowded situations. Can make the pass in full transition with one hand easily
  • good jumpshot. Can knock down 3s, solid mechanics
  • quick with the ball in his hands. Can play equally good in transition and half court offense
  • ideal height for his position
  • possible that he peaked physically too early
  • lacks elite athleticism. Not explosive enough
  • average defender
  • struggles to create offense for himself out of nothing. Not good enough in 1 on 1 situations for the next level. Too dependent on screens, especially PnR
OUTLOOK
Lazar Vasić is experiencing turmoil in his first season in U17 League. Until now, he was used to being a top dog (for a good reason) and there has been a learning curve for him trying to adjust to a higher level and new teammates who demand the ball little bit more than the previous ones. Vasić has struggled a bit but remains a top level talent as he is one of the rare players in Zvezda whose main attributes are not based on physical domination, but technical ability and creativity. His body limits his upside, but he is still a must follow.
