Vit Hrabar

Vit Hrabar (SG/SF | 202 cm | ’06) ~ Fundacion 5+11 Baskonia

A late bloomer that possesses a lot of smoothness in his game. He has the body archeatype that scouts are looking for in modern guards and when he grows into his body, adds more muscle and starts to play with more contact, he will be able to bring his game to a much high level. He showed great shooting touch in this tournament, created some shots for himself but most of them were catch & shoot shots. He avoided contact on drives due to his weaker upper body and opted often for mid-range shots instead of going all the way to the rim. His body control and start & stop game was good though. Dived for loose balls in defense and defended well but there is space for growth in his defensive game. The potential is there but also a lot of things can be improved but he is a prospect for sure that needs to be written down and his developments needs to be followed.

Urban Kroflič (G | 195 cm | ‘06) ~ Slovenia

20.7 pts, 8.0 reb, 2.4 ast, 3.3 stl, 1.0 blck, 3.7 to, FG 36.6%, 3P 30.2%, FT 73.2%

One of the best scorers in the tournament but with a pretty bad efficiency. Urban is a very good shot creator that is able to create space for his shot and isn’t scared to pull the trigger from deep distance. This isn’t necessarily a good thing since some of his shots were too forced and he will need to improve his shot selection moving forward. Would also love to see him bring the ball closer to the rim more often and attempt more shots at the rim since he has the body and skills to be a good finisher there but he rather takes some tough shots from deep. Also was sometimes too rim oriented and hasn’t spotted an open teammate or delivered the ball on time. Hard to stop on open court because of his size and agility. In defense he gambled too many times with a steal attempt and fell out of the defensive scheme. Interesting player profile but to maximize his potential he will need to improve his decision making and make better decisions/less mistakes and be more efficient on both sides of the floor.

Vit Hrabar (SG | 202 cm | ‘06) ~ Slovenia

11.7 pts, 2.3 reb, 0.6 ast, 0.6 stl, 0.3 blck, 3.1 to, FG 32.9%, 3P 30.8%, FT 78.9%

Hrabar also showed some stuff that makes him an interesting long-term prospect. He has good positional size for a shooting guard, maybe he could still grow for an inch or two, but more importantly there is a lot of space to add some muscle to his bones. He moved well without the ball and attacked the rim of the catch. He has long strides and was able to create space while he also showed good balance on some finishes but struggled a little with finishes through contact due to his weaker upper body. His shooting touch is soft, showed good in-between game and I believe that when he develops his body and gets stronger that the shots will start falling in with great percentages. There is a trend of tall and long shooting guards with great off-ball movements and good shooting numbers and Vit could fit in that mold so if his development goes in the right direction, he could become a really interesting player down the road.
