STRENGHTS WEAKNESSESS
  • has good physical resources, upper body is already looking strong
  • very nice slasher, thanks to his great ball handling ability he can find his way to the rim in narrow lanes
  • scores bunches when he is driving to the basket
  • very good court vision allows him to establish good looks for his teammates, especially the ones beyond the arc
  • a type of player that can create his own plays and lead his team
  • shooting release has room to improve, can increase his consistency
  • very active on defense. Sits down in a good stance
  • a bit low release. Needs to become more efficient from behind the arc
  • needs to improve overall athleticism
OUTLOOK
Mario Nakic has already established himself as one of the best prospects of his class. Strong physical presence and basketball IQ but he still needs to go a long way in order to be great in the higher levels. Real Madrid player has a good environment to improve his game, better to keep an eye on his development.
