A guard with great positional size that makes quick and smart decisions in pick & rolls. With his size he scans the floor over defenders and delivers precise passes with both hands. Controls all the players on the court and has a good feel for the game. He has the potential to go all the way to the rim or take shots from distance. He wasn’t the most efficient in his around the rim finishes and he can do much better in this area. Can play on both guard positions but I think he has a higher ceiling as a playmaker. On the defensive end he can defend multiple positions and play good defense on the perimeter. Sometimes he could be maybe a little more aggressive and put more pressure on the ball handler but I believe he will be when he adds more muscle to his frame and develops his body. In my opinion, he could be the player that will step in the shoes of Tomas Satoransky in Czech national team in the next few years.
