STRENGHTS WEAKNESSESS
  • nice size and length for Point Guard position with a developable frame
  • really good ball handler. Has variety of shifty moves while driving to the basket
  • can snake ball screens and keep defender on his back
  • has a very good touch which he combines with floaters and runners
  • has a nose for the ball. Good rebounder for position. Makes a lot of put back lay ups
  • can utilize hesitation moves. Has long strides and ability to change speeds
  • opportunistic in transition. Enjoys decent quickness in the open court
  • his dribble gets high and loose at times unnecessarily
  • shot has ways to go. A bit low release
  • not the most fluid player you can see. Some of his moves are slightly mechanical
  • assists/turnover ratio
  • not bouncy. Just average athlete in best case scenario
OUTLOOK
Veigar was one of the brightest discoveries at FIBA U16s during the summer of 2017. He is a guard who loves to drive to the rim and score. He has a broad offensive repertoire which can help him to survive and translate his finishing abilities against better defense he will face in future. He needs to work on his athleticism and become more reliable playmaker.
