STRENGHTS WEAKNESSESS
  • perfect height for a guard standing at 6’7 without shoes. Projected to be even bigger
  • able to play even as a main ball handler for some stretches
  • really good pick and roll executor. Either to create for himself and others
  • great length allow him to finish over the defense even if he doesn’t blow by his man. Can shoot some stylish runners
  • unselfish players. Makes the extra passes, kicks the ball out to the open shooters on the move
  • able to play SF position without any troubles. Most likely also on the senior level
  • not the most natural stroke but has potential in this regard
  • solid lateral quickness when fully engaged especially considering he is not good athlete overall
  • lacks explosiveness
  • still needs to works on his motor coordination. Doesn’t bend his knees enough on defense
  • sometimes gets lazy with his dribble especially with his left
  • lacks the bulk to maintain his balance and power through players en route to the rim
OUTLOOK
Unlike most of the best players in his team Pulkotycki was a member of Trefl affiliated youth clubs since beggining. Patryk is one of the top 2000 born prospects in Poland and his stock is constantly rising. Started to be given more playing time as a backcourt player not so long ago shows good adaptivity for that positions which combined with his tremendous size make him intriguing potential. However his upside is obviously also correlated to further physical development and his lack of athleticism raises questions.
