Of 1999 Generation

STRENGHTS WEAKNESSESS
  • very good size for modern big at 6’11
  • potentially NBA level athlete
  • super fast. Runs as quick as anyone in this world with his height
  • Got leaner. Very good frame in upper body. Light but strong enough in lower part
  • excels as pick and roll man. Decent timing when rolling to the rim. Can be lob target
  • inconsistent but really has a shooting potential with three point range. Good touch and nice form
  • quick also with the ball. Hard to keep in front for other bigs
  • has defensive potential to cover ground and check guards on perimeter
  • slow pro career start. Used to be chubby and not very serious about basketball not so long ago
  • needs to realize his full potential. Sometimes play like he is not aware of his gifts
  • not the hardest working player. Can he reach his full potential?
OUTLOOK
Nicolas Bretzel is eloquent person and may be the most low key NBA prospects in Europe. He still doesn’t get any attention from executives but if he improves mindset then with his tools it’s just the matter of time until he has breakout performances. At 6’11 he is super light on his feet, makes highlight dunks and shows shooting and defensive potential.
