Born: 04.03.2001
Nationality: Brazil
Position: Big
Current team: Joventut

RANK:
Of 2001 Generation

STRENGHTS WEAKNESSESS
  • measured 6’11 without shoes. Possess 7’2 wingspan. May not be done growing and reach even 217cm
  • runs the floor hard. Ok quickness
  • as good shot blocker and rebounder as you would expect from a player with his tools
  • makes great usage out of his length. Alters shots, covers ground, tips the ball out to teammates for second shot opportunity
  • plays with good intensity and great deal of determination. Box out opponents, doesn’t shy away from contact even though his strength is not great at the moment
  • good lateral movement for a player his size to defend dribble penetrations on the perimeter
  • long term upside
  • thin with an average frame which may struggle to fill out long term
  • tries occasional mid or long range shots which sometimes barely hit the rim. Developable but hands are still a bit stiff
  • good mobility but doesn’t have much power in his legs either. Coordination is also not perfect
  • still has ways to go in terms of instincts and polish
  • no low post game
OUTLOOK
Vinicius started to play basketball at the age of 12. He joined Joventut Badalona in November of 2017 even though he attracted interest from even bigger powerhouses like Real Madrid and Barcelona. Must follow player moving forward also for NBA teams. Especially with improved physicality and touch he can definitely appear in Draft consideration.
