William McDowell-White, 6-5, ?, Australia, 1998
Jonathan Givony
优点:
-Good size for a guard. Strong frame
-Terrific athlete
-Great first step and overall quickness
-Beats opponents off the dribble without a screen. A jet with the ball
-Very good in transition
-Solid ball-handler. Can play at different speeds. Plays quite a bit of pick and roll
-Creative and unselfish. Finds open man. Makes some very crisp passes, particularly in drive and dish situations
-Extremely competitive on defense. Terrific lateral quickness. Moves feet well and puts strong pressure on opponents. Can already defend 2-3 positions effectively. Gets in the passing lanes frequently. Among the tournament leaders in steals.
-Very good rebounder for a guard.
-Shows potential as a shooter. Ball comes out relatively smoothly at times. Made a number of shots with feet set in Crete. Not a non-shooter by any stretch.
-More than two years younger than many of the players at this tournament
缺点:
-Unpolished offensively at this stage
-Struggles to finish effectively around the basket.
-Needs to do a better job of drawing and finishing through contact around the basket. Not very crafty with his finishes at this stage. Drives to the basket without a plan

前景展望:
Forced into significant action due to the large number of players who declined to play for Australia at this tournament. Handled himself very well despite playing up two years. Showed some great flashes of potential. Appears to have a substantial amount of upside left to tap into with his terrific size, athleticism and creativity with the ball. Looks like a hard worker and a good teammate. Likely on the NCAA track. Will get recruited at the highest levels of college basketball.
Andres Feliz, 6-1, IMG Academy, Dominican Republic, 1997
Jonathan Givony
优点:
-Good quickness. Can operate at different speeds. Very slithery with the ball
-Terrific in transition
-Good ball-handler. More comfortable driving right, but shows potential driving in either direction
-Doesn't turn the ball over
-Very good on the pick and roll
-Draws a lot of fouls with the pressure he puts on the defense
-Gets to the basket frequently. Good finisher despite his lack of size. Doesn't mind contact.
-Utilizes nifty floaters in mid-range area
-Can pull-up off the dribble if defense goes underneath. Nothing mechanically wrong with his jumper.
-Should be able to develop into a good shooter.
-Finds teammates with simple drive and dish plays. Not selfish.
-Only 17 years old. 18 months younger than some of the players at this tournament.
缺点:
-Small, with short arms
-Skinny frame that shows limited potential
-Average defender at best. Doesn't have great tools on defense, and doesn't show great fundamentals or intensity either
-Jumper has improved, but still on the streaky side at times (32% 3P%). Really struggles with feet set. Much better off the dribble
-Surprisingly poor shooter from free throw line (63%)
-A little wild with the ball at times. Feel for the game, experience level a work in progress still.
-Court vision, decision making skills will need to improve
-Doesn't always trust his off hand. Prefers to drive right. Finishes with right hand on left side of basket.

前景展望:
A pleasant surprise in Crete. Appears to have improved substantially from last summer, where he was just an average player at the FIBA Americas U18s. Primary shot-creator for Dominican Republic, asked to do quite a bit for this team. Fearless scoring point guard. Has an average physical profile, which limits his upside for the highest levels. Has the makings of a very good college point guard. Rumored to be heading to USF to play for Orlando Antigua, whose brother was one of the coaches for this team.
Berk Ugurlu, 6'3, Fenerbahce Ulker, Turkey, 1996
Jonathan Givony
Strengths:
-Decent size for a point guard (listed at 6-4, but probably closer to 6-2)
-Solid athlete for position
-Quick in open court. Good in transition
-Not a selfish player. Can create for teammates in pick and roll or drive and dish situations
-Aggressive taking ball to basket
-Can beat opponents off the dribble using purely his first step, driving left or right
-Good ball-handler. Spins nicely.
-Can make an occasional pull-up jumper in the mid-range area if the defense goes under
-Decent form on jump-shot, even out to the 3-point line
Weaknesses:
-Considered a non-shooter earlier in career. Has shown some progress in that area, but not really at this tournament. Was 0-8 on 3-pointers in Crete, but 10-12 from free throw line
-21-84 for 3 in 1100+ minutes we have charted.
-Not a brilliant passer. Gets tunnel vision at times driving down the lane.
-Decision making often leaves something to be desired.
-Turns ball over on careless passes
-Can create his own shot, but a great finisher around the rim. Often just heaves the ball up on the glass hoping for the best
-Can do a better job of getting all the way to the rim, creating contact, or getting to the free throw line.
-Not very consistent with his play
Outlook: Has been the starting point guard for the Turkish junior national teams since he was 16 years old. Had a very strong U18 European Championship last summer, leading his team to the championship, but had a difficult 2014-2015 season, struggling to get any playing time for Euroleague Final Four participants Fenerbahce. Missed a game with an injury at the U19s, but was generally up and down with his play. Didn't make a single 3-pointer which is a real concern. Will need to find a situation next year where he can get serious playing time at the pro level.
Maximo Fjellerup, 6-5, Bahia Blanca, Argentina, 1997
Jonathan Givony
Strengths:
-Good size for a point guard
-Fluid and smooth guard
-Unselfish player. Good court vision. Creates offense for teammates intelligently
-Talented ball-handler with nice footwork
-Terrific rebounder for a guard
-Great anticipation skills jumping in the passing lanes
-Extremely young. Doesn't turn 18 until November.
Weaknesses:
-More smooth than explosive. Struggles to turn the corner on drives
-Doesn't initiate contact around the basket. Drives softly to the basket. Doesn't finish through contact. Throws up tough shots around the rim. Doesn't like using his off hand to finish.
-Doesn't get to the free throw line
-Somewhat stuck between guard positions. 1/1 assist to turnover ratio in Crete
-Lacks consistency as a shooter. Shot just 18% for 3 in Crete
-Looked passive/uncomfortable operating without the ball. Not assertive enough to find ways to utilize his talent without being the primary facilitator.
-Average defender
Outlook: Did not have a great tournament, following up a somewhat disappointing showing at the NBA Basketball Without Borders Camp in New York in February, although he was almost playing up by two years being born in late 1997. Struggles to show his talent and creativity when everything doesn't revolve around him offensively, which it didn't. Argentina's lack of chemistry didn't help matters. Must continue to progress as an outside shooter and play with more aggressiveness.

得分后卫篇
Jonathan Givony
优点:
-SG位置上不错的尺寸—6尺6的身高

-打球非常顺滑灵动。
-出色的射手,U19世青赛上3分命中率45%,上赛季在欧冠和土耳其超级联赛上命中率42%。
-天生的出手手感,在很多困难的角度都能出手将球扔进篮筐。
-极佳的定点投篮能力,运球投篮能力在快速进步中。
-非常无私的球员,有时候无私过头,总是以正确的方式打球。
-很有创造力的传球手。二传给位置更合理的队友,善于突破分球给内线,从来不勉强执行进攻。

-无球时是个聪明的空切者。
-手感柔和,善于使用抛投。

-是个很谦虚、刻苦的球员。
缺点:
缺点:
-身体还不成熟,他的身体能够真正变得强壮吗?与两年前相比,他并没有涨多少肉。
-目前只是个平均水平的控球者,运球时不会弯曲自己的膝盖,身子俯的很低,在半场进攻中自己创造空间的能力不足。
-在对抗下终结能力不够好,缺乏对抗力量也缺乏一定的强硬。
-突到内线后的得分方式不是很高效,有时可以直接突到底上篮的球却选择在跑动中抛投。
-平均水准的防守。防守时没有俯身降低重心的意识,瘦弱的身体在防守端被人鱼肉;需要使自己变得更强壮,并提高专注度。

前景展望:
青年比赛中惊人的得分手,截至目前在国际比赛中每40分钟场均27分,同时保持着61%的TS%值,在这次U19世青赛中,比不少球员小一岁(今年7月才年满18岁),仍然是赛会中最好的得分手之一,入选了赛会最佳阵容。在上赛季,代表艾菲斯出战欧冠比赛,以17岁的年纪场均出场12分钟,尽管如此年轻,仍然在欧冠中打出了不少值得纪念的表现。明年他就可以参加NBA选秀了,预期他下赛季将进一步打出更好的表现。在我们对他的采访中,他告诉我们:他有强烈的打NBA的兴趣,也许就在明年,他就会选择登录NBA。

-转换进攻能力出众。
-在进攻中什么都能干一点。
-在每40分钟出手5次的情况下保持着52%的3分命中率,罚球命中率77%。
-投篮手型很棒,空位投篮非常值得信赖,也能运球后投篮。
-几乎从来不勉强的执行进攻,努力让自己打得更加无私。习惯找到位置更加合理的队友。
-可以阅读防守并找到处于空位的队友,特别擅长在移动中的传球。
-在挡拆和一对一的情形下都能创造出进攻机会,善于走上罚球线(每40分钟8.9次)。
-在防守端比较拼,大多数时间都能付出很大的努力,在一对一防守时,可以快速移动自己脚步并给对方施加压力。每40分钟有3.2次抢断。
-作为后卫篮板能力很好(每40分钟摘下8个篮板)。甚至可以凭借自己的韧性抢下进攻篮板。
-作为后卫篮板能力很好(每40分钟摘下8个篮板)。甚至可以凭借自己的韧性抢下进攻篮板。
缺点:
-作为得分后卫身体条件比较普通,且只有180磅。
-臂展不好(6尺3寸半),比身高还短(穿鞋6尺4寸)。
-在篮下终结能力不足,缺少力量和高度,这让他有时在对抗下很难完成投篮。
-防守端不能始终保持专注。当他注意力高度集中时,在防守端他能做的不错,当他不专注时,会很挣扎。
前景展望:
前景展望:
U19世青赛中表现非常棒,每40分钟可以得到25分,同时效率极高(69%的TS%)。似乎与过去我们所认识的那个高中里的泰勒-多西不是一个人,特别是防守端。接受了自己在球队中上场时间比较紧凑的角色(每场20分钟左右),但是仍然是队中进攻贡献最大的球员。尽力使自己融入到了球队中,发挥自己的优势,打得很成功,入选赛会最佳阵容。在进入大学之前,这次的表现无疑提升了他的行情。而在比赛中他似乎也提高了自己的篮球智商。
Nik Slavica, 6'7, Cibona Zagreb, Croatia, 1997
Jonathan Givony
优点:

-在防守侵略性很高的情况下,他仍然可以运球后投进中距离。
-出色防守者,在U19世青赛中他可以防守3到4个位置。经常利用自己出色的横移速度去限制对手的控球后卫,在这届比赛中,他限制了很多优秀的进攻球员。
弱点:
弱点:
-一直都不是高效高产的进攻球员,生涯2分命中率47%,3分25%,罚球62%。
-显示除了外围投射的潜力,但是整个生涯都不是稳定的射手,在U19世青赛上,三分26投7中,罚球命中率只有59%。
-对自己的跳投不自信,有时出现大空位出手也很犹豫。有时会投出偏的离谱的投篮,包括一些三不沾。
-进攻选择很有问题,不能时刻意识到自己的不足,因而会做出一些有问题的投篮选择。
-控球技术在提高,可以利用自己的第一步过掉对手,但是需要提高自己变速和变向的能力,特别是打挡拆和一对一的情形下。
-控球技术在提高,可以利用自己的第一步过掉对手,但是需要提高自己变速和变向的能力,特别是打挡拆和一对一的情形下。
-有一些在家里性格古怪的名声。
前景展望:
前景展望:
U19世青赛上表现出众的球员之一,决赛中对阵美国U19表现最为出色,23分5篮板6助攻3抢断。对阵土耳其U19的半决赛同样打的很好。他出色的身体条件、尺寸、运动能力、处理球能力、防守端的潜力、还不错的投篮手型,都让他成为具有很高前景的潜力球员。如果他能找到让自己的跳投稳定的方法,就可以成为一名NBA球员。
Diego Flaccadori, 6'5, Trento, Italy, 1996
Jonathan Givony
Strengths:
-Good size for a playmaking shooting guard at 6-5 with a 6-8 wingspan
-One of the most creative players at the tournament. Tremendous talent with the ball in his hands
-Creates offense with terrific ball-handling skills, footwork and change of pace maneuvers. Keeps defenders off-balance with his herky jerky style.
-Uses shot-fakes, pass-fakes, euro-steps, and other trickiness
-Can make shots off the dribble when defenders go underneath screens
-Plays with great aggressiveness and confidence
-Throws in floaters off the glass with outstanding touch
-Terrific feel for finding teammates with a variety of types of passes. Drives and dishes with great creativity and flair
-Gets in the passing lanes with anticipation skills and timing
Weaknesses:
-Only 172 pounds. Frame is very frail and needs quite a bit of work. Some concerns about how much potential it has long-term.
-Was not particularly efficient at this tournament. 46% 2P%, 30% 3P
-Not a consistent enough shooter at this point. Shot-selection has something to do with this. Almost all of his jumpers at the U19s came off the dribble. This is partially due to the abnormally large role he was forced to shoulder due to injuries on his squad.
-Not always strong enough to get into the teeth of the defense and finish through contact. Shoots too many floaters.
-Average defender at best. Doesn't always give the best effort here. Lack of strength is a hindrance. Will be the biggest obstacle he has to overcome to play in the NBA.
Outlook:Combo guard who can dribble, pass and shoot. Terrific option in pick and roll and isolation situations. Followed up a strong showing at the Adidas EuroCamp with an even better tournament with the U19 national team. Had a very good game against USA, showing his game isn't hampered by the athleticism of the Americans. Barely played last season in the Italian first division, which is surprising.

Terrance Ferguson, 6'6, Prime Prep Academy, USA, 1998
Jonathan Givony
优点:
-穿鞋身高6尺7。
-极具爆发力的弹跳,在热身中非常轻松就能高高跃起完成漂亮的灌篮。
-作为外围射手潜力很高,习惯于接球就投,对于这项技术很自信(在本次比赛中场均22分钟的时间里出手6次)。
-会利用掩护接球投篮,凭借自己的运动能力可以创造出出手空间。
-防守端非常卖力。
-几个月前才年满17岁,比赛会中大多数球员小2岁。
-几个月前才年满17岁,比赛会中大多数球员小2岁。
缺点:
-只有183磅,身材有些瘦弱,特别是下肢,需要一定时间来使自己更加强壮。
-臂章比较一般,6尺8到6尺9的样子。
-糟糕的控球能力,在阵地进攻中很难通过运球给自己创造出机会,很少走上罚球线。
-投篮手型并不稳定,有时出手点很低,出手时经常不能保持身体平衡。跳投时习惯起跳很高,在下落时再将球扔出去。
-没有持续稳定的攻击方式,阵地进攻中的3分和转换进攻是他唯一的两种得分手段。
-球场上的意识不好,比赛感觉需要加强。
前景展望:
前景展望:
运动能力非常出色的得分后卫,拥有极佳的尺寸,有成为优秀射手的潜质。与杰里米-兰姆和杰拉德-格林相似,不过似乎有着更好的斗志和防守潜力。本次比赛中表现一般(per值7.9),但作为比赛中最年轻的球员之一仍然打出了自己的特点。
Marc Garcia, 6-6, Barcelona, Spain, 1996
Jonathan Givony
Strengths:
-Good size for a shooting guard
-Smooth athlete. Very fluid and mobile.
-Good instincts as a scorer and shot-creator.
-Terrific footwork on drives
-Shifty ball-handler with right hand. Changes speeds and directions. Gets low to the ground
-Doesn't turn ball over very often (13% career TOV%)
-Has done a great job of getting to free throw line at every level he's played at (6.7 attempts per-40 even in ACB)
-Has good shooting mechanics and has made quite a few 3-pointers in his career (2.5 makes per-40 in 113 career games)
-Reliable free throw shooter (85% in Crete, 78% career)
-Great instincts jumping in the passing lanes (2.6 steals per-40 in Crete, close to 2 per-40 career)
Weaknesses:
-Very thin frame which may struggle to fill out long-term
-Very poor finisher around the basket. Has struggled to convert inside the arc at every level he's played at. Career 40% 2P%. Shocking 24% for 2 at this tournament
-Not an explosive athlete. That, combined with his thin frame makes it difficult for him to finish around the rim. Settles for floaters regularly. Crumbles at the first sign of contact. Needs to improve his off hand on his finishes
-Struggling badly with his jump-shot as of late. 29% for 3 in the ACB this season. 30% at this tournament. In a huge funk from beyond the arc in past year plus.
-Not a great passer. Looks to create almost exclusively for himself
-A little bit of a gunner at times. Takes questionable shots
-Poor defender. Lacks toughness and strength. Intensity level leaves a lot to be desired. Doesn't close out with urgency. Doesn't fight through screens.
Outlook:Creative shooting guard with nice scoring instincts. In the midst of a difficult period, coming off a tough season in the ACB. Seems to have lost much of his swagger which made him such an intriguing player earlier in his career. Frame needs to improve substantially. Still flashes signs of intrigue with his ability to draw fouls, get in the passing lanes and make an occasional jumper, but needs to improve his defense, shooting consistency and become a much better finisher inside the arc to reach the tremendous potential he showed earlier in his career. Rights are owned by Barcelona, so will almost certainly be on loan again next year.
Corey Johnson, 6-5, Harvard, Canada, 1996
Jonathan Givony
Strengths:
-Not extremely tall at 6-5, but has a very long 6-11 wingspan and a frame that is continuing to fill out.
-Arguably the best shooter at the tournament. Picture perfect shooting mechanics
-Automatic with feet set. Deep range. Hits shots with a man in his face.
-Runs to the corners in transition and is a huge threat in the early offense
-Makes extra pass. Plays within himself. Rarely turns ball over. High basketball IQ
-Length gives him a chance to be a solid defender when combined with his competitiveness and smarts
Weaknesses:
-Somewhat one dimensional. Was taken out of games by aggressive defenders looking to deny his jumper
-Needs to improve his ability to come off screens
-Needs to improve his ability to make shots off the dribble
-Ball-handling skills are rudimentary
-Poor finisher around the basket. Lacks great strength and explosiveness. Doesn't create contact inside the paint and get to the free throw line
-Gets blown by off the dribble a little too often defensively. Can continue to improve here
-Like many Canadians, going into high school a year older than most US-born collegiate freshmen.
Outlook:High level shooter with good size, length, feel and competitiveness. A huge steal for Harvard. Went to a small high school in Ottawa and was off the radar screen of better colleges seemingly (even though we liked him quite a bit at the FIBA U18s last summer and wrote as much). Needs to continue to improve his all-around polish, but has all the tools to do so and plays a role that is extremely coveted in today's NBA.
Okben Ulubay, 6'7, Anadolu Efes, Turkey, 1996
Jonathan Givony
Strengths:
-Great size for a shooting guard at 6-7.
-Extremely versatile player who can do a little bit of everything on both ends of the floor
-Brings ball up the floor and initiates the offense at times
-Can play some pick and roll
-Gets to the free throw line at a high rate
-Creative passer. Finds open man in different situations
-Can post up a bit. Shoots a lot of turnaround jumpers
-Outstanding defender when motivated. Gets in a stance, moves feet. Can guard multiple positions
-Good instincts getting in passing lanes.
-Can make an occasional outside shot. Jumper not totally broken
Weaknesses:
-Not an efficient offensive player. 45% TS% at the U19s. Has been an issue his whole career
-Lacks consistency as a shooter. Shoots a very flat jumper. Contorts body. Needs to improve the arch on his shot and improve his lower body mechanics
-Struggles to finish around the basket. Made just 42% of 2-point attempts at U19s. Shies away from contact. Doesn't use off hand.
-Doesn't play with any real intensity. Often looks like he's just going through the motions, on both ends of the floor
Outlook:Staple of the Turkish national junior teams since the age of 15. Fifth summer in a row playing for the national team despite only being 19. Saw a handful of minutes this season in the Turkish league and Euroleague for Anadolu Efes, but mostly played for their second division team (Pertevniyal), where he was up and down. Extremely talented, but gives off a vibe as being somewhat of an underachiever. Lacks intensity and consistency. Has a definite chance to be a NBA player if he can maximize his potential defensively and become a consistent outside shooter.
Vanja Marinkovic, 6'5, Partizan, Serbia, 1997
Jonathan Givony
Strengths:
-Decent size for a shooting guard at 6-5. Nice body. Solid length.
-Above average athlete. Can elevate around the basket. Solid quickness.
-One of the best shooters in the tournament. 44% for 3 on 4.6 attempts per game. 86% FT

-Terrific weapon in transition and in early offense running to the corners. Decent speed running to the rim as well
-Can come off screens a bit
-Can pull-up off the dribble a bit.
-Makes contested shots in impressive fashion.
-A year younger than most of the competition
Weaknesses:
-One-dimensional player offensively right now. Struggles to create own shot
-Poor ball-handler.
-Struggles to finish around the basket in the half-court. Avoids contact. Doesn't get to free throw line (seven attempts in 191 minutes in Crete). Doesn't use off-hand.
-Can improve the quickness of his release. Dips the ball unnecessary on the catch
-Doesn't create much for teammates. Average passer
Outlook:A staple of the Serbian junior national teams at the U16, U17 and U18 age groups. One of the most experienced players at the tournament, after seeing 15 minutes per game at age 17/18 in the Serbian league, EuroCup and Adriatic League for Partizan. Had a handful of very impressive performances in senior competition. Struggled against better competition at the U19s, but ended up having a solid tournament with some good showings in the consolation bracket. Has some interesting tools to work with his solid physical tools and perimeter shooting ability.
Radovan Djokovic, 6'5, Mega Vizura, Serbia, 1996
Jonathan Givony
Strengths:
-Decent size and length for a SG
-Versatile player. Does a lot of different things. Creative

-Tries on D.
Weaknesses:
-Not a great athlete. Lacks explosiveness with his first step and vertically
-Very high dribble. Fairly wild with the ball. Dribbles into brick walls.

-Struggles to get all the way to the basket. Throws up a lot of garbage around the rim.
-Very streaky shooter throughout his career. 21/70 in 900 career minutes we have charted
-Lacks great lateral quickness on defense. Can he guard high-level shooting guards at the NBA level?
L.J. Peak, 6'5, Georgetown, USA, 1996
Jonathan Givony
Strengths:
-Not overly tall (6-3 without shoes) but has a terrific frame (212 pounds) and an extremely long wingspan (6-9 ½) that allows him to play much bigger than his height
-Very good athlete
-Can attack in a straight line with a very quick first step
-Great quickness in the open court
-Outstanding defender. Guarded multiple positions in Crete. Long and competitive Great lateral quickness. Can get up and put tremendous pressure on the defense
-Gets in passing lanes on a regular basis.
Terrific defender. Catch and shoot jumpers. Pretty good athlete. Gets to rim.
Weaknesses:
-Limited offensive player. Was neither a prolific, nor efficient scorer as a freshman or at the U19s
-Poor outside shooter. Career 26% 3-point shooter. Made only two 3s in 95 minutes in Crete and 56% of his free throws
-Average ball-handler. Called for a travel almost every time he tried to put ball on floor.
-Often looked out of control trying to create own shot in the half-court. Can't change speeds or directions with the ball. Only drives right
-Needs to improve shooting mechanics. Shoots it differently almost every time. Dips ball significantly. Sometimes flails elbow out, and contorts body sideways as he elevates for jumpers
-Can't really create his own shot
Outlook:Solid role-player for USA. Defended, ran the floor, and mostly stayed out of the way on offense in the half-court. Made one huge 3-pointer late in the fourth quarter in the Gold medal game against Croatia.
Marc Garcia, 6-6, Barcelona, Spain, 1996
Jonathan Givony
Strengths:
-Good size for a shooting guard
-Smooth athlete. Very fluid and mobile.
-Good instincts as a scorer and shot-creator.
-Terrific footwork on drives
-Shifty ball-handler with right hand. Changes speeds and directions. Gets low to the ground
-Doesn't turn ball over very often (13% career TOV%)
-Has done a great job of getting to free throw line at every level he's played at (6.7 attempts per-40 even in ACB)
-Has good shooting mechanics and has made quite a few 3-pointers in his career (2.5 makes per-40 in 113 career games)
-Reliable free throw shooter (85% in Crete, 78% career)
-Great instincts jumping in the passing lanes (2.6 steals per-40 in Crete, close to 2 per-40 career)
Weaknesses:
-Very thin frame which may struggle to fill out long-term
-Very poor finisher around the basket. Has struggled to convert inside the arc at every level he's played at. Career 40% 2P%. Shocking 24% for 2 at this tournament
-Not an explosive athlete. That, combined with his thin frame makes it difficult for him to finish around the rim. Settles for floaters regularly. Crumbles at the first sign of contact. Needs to improve his off hand on his finishes
-Struggling badly with his jump-shot as of late. 29% for 3 in the ACB this season. 30% at this tournament. In a huge funk from beyond the arc in past year plus.
-Not a great passer. Looks to create almost exclusively for himself
-A little bit of a gunner at times. Takes questionable shots
-Poor defender. Lacks toughness and strength. Intensity level leaves a lot to be desired. Doesn't close out with urgency. Doesn't fight through screens.
Outlook:Creative shooting guard with nice scoring instincts. In the midst of a difficult period, coming off a tough season in the ACB. Seems to have lost much of his swagger which made him such an intriguing player earlier in his career. Frame needs to improve substantially.

小前锋篇
Josh Jackson, 6'8, Prolific Prep, USA, 1997
Jonathan Givony
优点:
-作为侧翼球员不错的尺寸(裸足身高6尺7,臂展6尺10)。
-去年一年涨了10磅,现在203磅了,他的身体未来应该还能变得更加壮实。
-惊人的运动能力,弹速很快,敏捷速度快,充满爆发力,在场上满场飞奔。
-防守端潜力巨大,可以防守4个位置,横移很棒,打球机动性很高。
-有很好的抢断嗅觉和抢断技巧,每40分钟3.3次抢断,也经常送上盖帽,每40分钟1.4次封盖。
-侧翼球员位置上极佳的篮板手,U19世青赛中每40分钟11.4个篮板。去年的U17世青赛上是14.6个。由于其强大的二次起跳能力和高机动性,在进攻篮板的表现上特别令人印象深刻。
-即便不是进攻战术的主要参与者也会积极参与到进攻中,无球进攻非常积极,他会始终努力的争抢进攻篮板、转换进攻积极快下、频繁的无球跑位。
-控球技术、运动能力、身高臂展、机动性,这些混合在一起使他在转换进攻中效率极高。
-中远投的能力有了一些进步,去年的U17世青赛上他没有投进一个三分,今年的U19他以50%的命中率投进了一定数目的三分球。他运球投篮比定点投篮还好一点,不过在U19上他两种方式都投进了一些球。
-无私的球员,找到位置最合理的队友,球在手上时能显现出自己的创造力,特别是行进中的传球。
-可以摘下后场篮板直接发起一条龙。
缺点:
缺点:
-身体发育还未成熟,下肢还显得很纤细。
-总得来说,中远距离投篮还有待提高,U19上罚球命中率为61%,整个生涯里为57%。
-有时自己的投篮出手会非常勉强、不情愿。
-需要加强自己高阶的控球即时,运球有点高,阵地进攻中自己创造投篮机会时容易出现失误。
-突到篮下最后终结那一下有时会很挣扎,由于缺少力量和丰富的进攻手段,不能始终打进自己创造出的机会
-靠天赋打球而不是靠基本功打球,有时在攻守两端都会失去控制,很依赖自己的直觉和本能,因此会出现一些不可预测的情况,投篮选择有时也会有问题。
-容易吃对手的假动作,喜欢赌博性抢断。
-肢体语言有时不太好,经常向裁判抱怨,在场上情绪激动、反应激烈。
-在他之一级(16级)的高中生中他的年纪算大的,大一结束时他将年满20岁。
前景展望:
前景展望:
非常全面多才多艺的侧翼球员,可以根据情况在场上打不同的位置。在场上任何事都能做一点。还是个半成品、很多技术有待打磨,不过在很多方面都显示出了天赋。无私的球员,防守端非常积极。他在进攻端能达到什么样的上限还有待观察,不过至少会是个非常全面的球员。

Jayson Tatum, 6'8, Chaminade College Prep, USA, 1998
Jonathan Givony
优点:
-优秀的侧翼球员的尺寸,穿鞋身高6尺8,200磅的身体将来会变得更强壮。
-打球非常流畅顺滑,行进中的动作行云流水。
-弹速很快,他在篮筐上作业的能力令人吃惊,远比你第一眼见到他时所判断的更具爆发力。
-转换进攻中控球能力很好,是转换进攻中的有力武器,时常能主动发动快攻。
-在挡拆和一对一的情形下都显示了很好的进攻天赋。
-定点投篮和运球投篮都有一定水准,在U19世青赛中以40%的命中率投中了不太多数目的三分球,生涯截至目前罚球命中率为76%。
-抢断的感觉很好,每40分钟3.2次抢断,封盖的技巧也有所显现(每40分钟1.5次封盖)。
-定点投篮和运球投篮都有一定水准,在U19世青赛中以40%的命中率投中了不太多数目的三分球,生涯截至目前罚球命中率为76%。
-抢断的感觉很好,每40分钟3.2次抢断,封盖的技巧也有所显现(每40分钟1.5次封盖)。
-1998年出生,比U19比赛中不少球员年轻2岁。
缺点:
缺点:
-目前还不知道怎么在阵地进攻中稳定的有效利用自己的身体条件。
-由于缺少力量和打球的强硬度,不能始终打进自己走到篮下创造出的机会,有时会畏惧对抗,阵地进攻时油漆区内的命中率只有35%。
-在U19中很少走上罚球线。
-需要提高自己跳投的出手速度,无论是定点投篮还是运球投篮。
-生涯截至目前3分命中率为28%,未来会成为一个不错的射手,但目前还需要努力提高。
前景展望:
前景展望:
非常有天赋的侧翼球员,技巧细腻精湛,比赛感觉很好。他的运动能力配上身体条件让他打球显得比较轻松。

Vasilis Charalampopoulos, 6'8, Panathinaikos, Greece, 1997
Jonathan Givony
[b]Strengths:
-Very good size for a small forward at 6-8, with a strong frame and long arms.
-One of the smartest and most polished teenagers you'll find anywhere in the world
-Great timing and smarts
-Extremely versatile player.
-Can score with back to the basket, using nifty footwork, a strong frame and the ability to finish with either hand and soft touch
-Good mechanics on catch and shoot jumpers. Can heat up from beyond the arc. Made 50% of his 3-point attempts at the U19s. Hit 40% of his 3-pointers this season as a pro
-Excellent passer. Finds cutters with bounce passes. Drives and dishes. Consistently posts strong passing metrics
-Very mature. Never rattled. Plays with supreme confidence and poise. Operates at own unique pace
-Can create his own shot on straight line drives. Changes speeds. Finishes off the glass
-Very competitive on defense. Gets in the passing lanes with anticipation skills and timing
-Excellent rebounder. 10 rebounds per-40 at U19s. 6 per-40 as a teenage pro
Weaknesses:
-Not very athletic in a traditional sense. Lacks quickness and explosiveness relative to his position at the NBA level
-Frame is already mature.
-Is he quick enough laterally to defend small forwards?
-Is he big enough to defend power forwards?
Outlook:Incredibly experienced player for an 18-year old. Saw his first minutes of pro basketball at the age of 15 already. Has already seen real minutes for Panathinaikos in both the Euroleague and Greek league. Played for the Greek National Junior team at the age of 14 at the U16 level and more than held his own. Amazingly poised and mature. Was limited at the U19s by a nasty ankle injury that would have prevented almost player from participating. Foot swelled up to abnormal sizes and needed to be drained a few hours before games. Only played six games as a result, averaging just 14 minutes per contest. Was there when his team needed him though. Played 25 minutes in the quarterfinals and 36 minutes in the semifinals, mostly on one leg. Team player and huge competitor. Doesn't ooze with athleticism or upside, but is the kind of guy you would never want to bet against. A Euro Draymond Green?
Dillon Brooks, 6'7, Oregon, Canada, 1996
Jonathan Givony
Strengths:
-Good size for a small forward. Strong frame
-Extremely aggressive offensive player. Led the tournament in usage rate
-Has excellent scoring instincts. Averaged 30 points per-40 minutes pace adjusted at the U19s. Last summer averaged 40 points per-40.
-Can score in a variety of ways. Pushes the ball in transition. Can post up
-Can create his own shot. Plays some pick and roll as the ball-handler from the power forward position, which is very difficult for opposing teams to defend. Can score in isolation situations
-Gets to the free throw line at a tremendous rate (over 11 per-40 at U19s)
-Capable shooter, both with feet set and off the dribble. Hit 35% of 3-pointers as a college freshman. 82% of his free throw attempts
-Hits off the dribble 3-pointers
-Strong rebounder. Averaged just under 10 rebounds per-40. Allows him to see some minutes at the power forward spot without hurting his team on the glass
Weaknesses:
-Good not great athlete
-Somewhat stuck between the small forward and power forward positions, particularly defensively
-Streak shooter. Hit just 21% of his 3-pointers at the U19s in Crete on a decent number of attempts. Shot-selection is often the culprit, but tends to elevate too high on his pull-ups at times, giving him a varying release point.
-Average finisher around the basket. Lack of length and average explosiveness make it difficult for him to convert in traffic, especially with his often extremely aggressive shot-selection
-Decision making is poor. Tends to force the issue. Calls his own number too often. Passes up wide open shooters to settle for tough shots instead.
-Averaged an outrageous 8.5 turnovers per-40 minutes (5.1 last summer). Really hurt his team
-Indifferent defender. Doesn't get into a real stance. Lacks length and lateral quickness, which combined with his average fundamentals make him very ineffective here. Can get some stops when he locks in.
Outlook:Tremendously aggressive scorer who was somewhat of a one-man show at times for Canada. Relishes the opportunity to be a go-to guy, sometimes at the expense of his team's ball-movement. Very gifted offensive player who was very effective as a freshman in the Pac-12 in a more moderated role. Will be very interesting to see how he performs in an expanded role as a sophomore at Oregon now that Joseph Young is off to the NBA. Has obvious talent, but needs to improve his role-player potential to find a niche in the NBA, including becoming a more consistent outside shooter, and defending the perimeter.
Justin Jackson, 6'6, UNLV, Canada, 1997
Jonathan Givony
Strengths:
-Sports a chiseled frame at 232 pounds, and an incredibly long 7-2 wingspan. Big hands
-Fluid and mobile athlete
-Very talented offensive player. Can do a little bit of everything
- Has improved his perimeter shooting ability. Form on jump-shot is solid. Made 40% of his 3-point attempts at the U19s on a limited number of attempts.
-Can create his own shot effectively. Did quite a bit of ball-handling for Canada, in transition, isolation and pick and roll ball-handling situations
-Uses hesitation moves effectively. Uses body to create space. Has nice footwork, can spin and score inside the paint. Aggressive going to the basket. Creates contact inside the paint and gets to free throw line
-Nice touch on floaters
-Tremendous rebounder for a wing. 11 rebounds per-40 at U19s
-Has great potential defensively with fluidity, body and length
-Impressive instincts for steals and blocks. Posted over 2 per game in both categories.
Weaknesses:
-Not particularly explosive. Lacks the verticality needed to be a high-level finisher around the basket. Made only 46% of his 2-point attempts in Crete, and 19/43 overall attempts inside the paint.
-Struggles to make shots off the dribble
-Jump-shot still prone to streakiness. Release point is inconsistent at times. Mechanics get a bit rigid when tightly contested
-Decision making not always there. Tends to settle for wild shots
-Needs to improve advanced ball-handling skills, and ability to weave in and out of traffic. Tries to simply overpower defenders. Drives into brick walls.
-Feel for game is average. Not a great passer.
-Very inconsistent from game to game. Looks like a lottery pick some games, and a future D-Leaguer in others.
-Shot just 45% from free throw line in Crete. Focus level isn't always there
Outlook:Extremely talented wing (probably should have been in our shooting guard article) who alternated from impressive to frustrating seemingly without rhyme or rhythm. Undecided still on whether to enroll at UNLV next season or remain at Findlay. Neither appear to be perfect options. Needs serious structure and guidance to reach his extremely high ceiling.
Tolga Gecim, 6'8, Banvit, Turkey, 1996
Jonathan Givony
Strengths:
-6-8, but plays more point guard than small forward.
-Extremely creative with ball in hands. Led the entire competition with 10.8 assists per-40. Has a great feel for finding the open man. Extremely unselfish with excellent court vision.
-Good ball-handler. Rarely turns ball over
-Can post up a bit
-Gets in passing lanes with nice anticipation skills (2.4 steals per-40)
Can handle and pass at 6-8 but not particularly quick and jumper is still inconsistent. Posts up a bit. Super creative bounce passes to cutters.
Weaknesses:
-Lacks quickness and explosiveness in a serious way
-Struggled badly to finish around the basket. Converted just 25% of his attempts inside the paint in the half-court at the U19s. Posted a dreadful 29% 2-point percentage overall
-Misses good looks around the rim due to his lack of explosiveness.
-Forced to settle for mid-range pull-ups when he can't turn the corner and beat his man off the dribble
-Struggles with the consistency of his outside shot. Made just 27% of 3-point attempts. Career 29% from outside
-Very upright in stance defensively. Gets beat off the dribble regularly and forced to foul.
Outlook:Rare to see a player his size with such a great basketball IQ and ability to create for others. Questionable whether he helped or hurt his team with his ball-dominant style and extreme inefficiency offensively. Difficult to see NBA potential in him with his lack of athleticism. Should make a good career in Turkey as a sort of poor man's Emir Predzlic.
Abu Kigab, 6'7, St. Francis (Ontario), Canada, 1998
Jonathan Givony
Strengths:
-Great athletic profile. Good size. Strong frame. Long arms
-Plays the right away. Hustles. Makes extra pass
-Has decent touch on jump-shot. Made a handful of jumpers, showing his shooting potential is not hopeless
-Good in transition
-Excellent potential defensively. Can guard multiple positions. Plays hard. Moves feet well. Can develop into a huge weapon on this end of the floor in time
-Willing to take charges.
-Rebounds very well. 14 rebounds per-40
-One of the youngest players at the competition. Has a huge amount of room to grow in many different areas.
Weaknesses:
-Extremely unpolished offensively
-Very off-balance on jumpers. Elbow flails out. Mechanics need serious work
-Can't create his own shot. Very rudimentary ball-handler
-Struggles to pull-up off the dribble.
Ugly shooting stroke.
Outlook:Played an important role for Canada, despite being only 16 years. Has great physical tools to go along with a strong motor and some budding skills. Very unpolished in virtually every area as you'd expect from a 16-year old. Has huge potential if he continues to work and improve. Defense alone gives him a great foundation to build off.

Vasilis Charalampopoulos, 6'8, Panathinaikos, Greece, 1997
Jonathan Givony
[b]Strengths:
-Very good size for a small forward at 6-8, with a strong frame and long arms.
-One of the smartest and most polished teenagers you'll find anywhere in the world
-Great timing and smarts
-Extremely versatile player.
-Can score with back to the basket, using nifty footwork, a strong frame and the ability to finish with either hand and soft touch
-Good mechanics on catch and shoot jumpers. Can heat up from beyond the arc. Made 50% of his 3-point attempts at the U19s. Hit 40% of his 3-pointers this season as a pro
-Excellent passer. Finds cutters with bounce passes. Drives and dishes. Consistently posts strong passing metrics
-Very mature. Never rattled. Plays with supreme confidence and poise. Operates at own unique pace
-Can create his own shot on straight line drives. Changes speeds. Finishes off the glass
-Very competitive on defense. Gets in the passing lanes with anticipation skills and timing
-Excellent rebounder. 10 rebounds per-40 at U19s. 6 per-40 as a teenage pro
Weaknesses:
-Not very athletic in a traditional sense. Lacks quickness and explosiveness relative to his position at the NBA level
-Frame is already mature.
-Is he quick enough laterally to defend small forwards?
-Is he big enough to defend power forwards?
Outlook:Incredibly experienced player for an 18-year old. Saw his first minutes of pro basketball at the age of 15 already. Has already seen real minutes for Panathinaikos in both the Euroleague and Greek league. Played for the Greek National Junior team at the age of 14 at the U16 level and more than held his own. Amazingly poised and mature. Was limited at the U19s by a nasty ankle injury that would have prevented almost player from participating. Foot swelled up to abnormal sizes and needed to be drained a few hours before games. Only played six games as a result, averaging just 14 minutes per contest. Was there when his team needed him though. Played 25 minutes in the quarterfinals and 36 minutes in the semifinals, mostly on one leg. Team player and huge competitor. Doesn't ooze with athleticism or upside, but is the kind of guy you would never want to bet against. A Euro Draymond Green?
Dillon Brooks, 6'7, Oregon, Canada, 1996
Jonathan Givony
Strengths:
-Good size for a small forward. Strong frame
-Extremely aggressive offensive player. Led the tournament in usage rate
-Has excellent scoring instincts. Averaged 30 points per-40 minutes pace adjusted at the U19s. Last summer averaged 40 points per-40.
-Can score in a variety of ways. Pushes the ball in transition. Can post up
-Can create his own shot. Plays some pick and roll as the ball-handler from the power forward position, which is very difficult for opposing teams to defend. Can score in isolation situations
-Gets to the free throw line at a tremendous rate (over 11 per-40 at U19s)
-Capable shooter, both with feet set and off the dribble. Hit 35% of 3-pointers as a college freshman. 82% of his free throw attempts
-Hits off the dribble 3-pointers
-Strong rebounder. Averaged just under 10 rebounds per-40. Allows him to see some minutes at the power forward spot without hurting his team on the glass
Weaknesses:
-Good not great athlete
-Somewhat stuck between the small forward and power forward positions, particularly defensively
-Streak shooter. Hit just 21% of his 3-pointers at the U19s in Crete on a decent number of attempts. Shot-selection is often the culprit, but tends to elevate too high on his pull-ups at times, giving him a varying release point.
-Average finisher around the basket. Lack of length and average explosiveness make it difficult for him to convert in traffic, especially with his often extremely aggressive shot-selection
-Decision making is poor. Tends to force the issue. Calls his own number too often. Passes up wide open shooters to settle for tough shots instead.
-Averaged an outrageous 8.5 turnovers per-40 minutes (5.1 last summer). Really hurt his team
-Indifferent defender. Doesn't get into a real stance. Lacks length and lateral quickness, which combined with his average fundamentals make him very ineffective here. Can get some stops when he locks in.
Outlook:Tremendously aggressive scorer who was somewhat of a one-man show at times for Canada. Relishes the opportunity to be a go-to guy, sometimes at the expense of his team's ball-movement. Very gifted offensive player who was very effective as a freshman in the Pac-12 in a more moderated role. Will be very interesting to see how he performs in an expanded role as a sophomore at Oregon now that Joseph Young is off to the NBA. Has obvious talent, but needs to improve his role-player potential to find a niche in the NBA, including becoming a more consistent outside shooter, and defending the perimeter.
Justin Jackson, 6'6, UNLV, Canada, 1997
Jonathan Givony
Strengths:
-Sports a chiseled frame at 232 pounds, and an incredibly long 7-2 wingspan. Big hands
-Fluid and mobile athlete
-Very talented offensive player. Can do a little bit of everything
- Has improved his perimeter shooting ability. Form on jump-shot is solid. Made 40% of his 3-point attempts at the U19s on a limited number of attempts.
-Can create his own shot effectively. Did quite a bit of ball-handling for Canada, in transition, isolation and pick and roll ball-handling situations
-Uses hesitation moves effectively. Uses body to create space. Has nice footwork, can spin and score inside the paint. Aggressive going to the basket. Creates contact inside the paint and gets to free throw line
-Nice touch on floaters
-Tremendous rebounder for a wing. 11 rebounds per-40 at U19s
-Has great potential defensively with fluidity, body and length
-Impressive instincts for steals and blocks. Posted over 2 per game in both categories.
Weaknesses:
-Not particularly explosive. Lacks the verticality needed to be a high-level finisher around the basket. Made only 46% of his 2-point attempts in Crete, and 19/43 overall attempts inside the paint.
-Struggles to make shots off the dribble
-Jump-shot still prone to streakiness. Release point is inconsistent at times. Mechanics get a bit rigid when tightly contested
-Decision making not always there. Tends to settle for wild shots
-Needs to improve advanced ball-handling skills, and ability to weave in and out of traffic. Tries to simply overpower defenders. Drives into brick walls.
-Feel for game is average. Not a great passer.
-Very inconsistent from game to game. Looks like a lottery pick some games, and a future D-Leaguer in others.
-Shot just 45% from free throw line in Crete. Focus level isn't always there
Outlook:Extremely talented wing (probably should have been in our shooting guard article) who alternated from impressive to frustrating seemingly without rhyme or rhythm. Undecided still on whether to enroll at UNLV next season or remain at Findlay. Neither appear to be perfect options. Needs serious structure and guidance to reach his extremely high ceiling.
Tolga Gecim, 6'8, Banvit, Turkey, 1996
Jonathan Givony
Strengths:
-6-8, but plays more point guard than small forward.
-Extremely creative with ball in hands. Led the entire competition with 10.8 assists per-40. Has a great feel for finding the open man. Extremely unselfish with excellent court vision.
-Good ball-handler. Rarely turns ball over
-Can post up a bit
-Gets in passing lanes with nice anticipation skills (2.4 steals per-40)
Can handle and pass at 6-8 but not particularly quick and jumper is still inconsistent. Posts up a bit. Super creative bounce passes to cutters.
Weaknesses:
-Lacks quickness and explosiveness in a serious way
-Struggled badly to finish around the basket. Converted just 25% of his attempts inside the paint in the half-court at the U19s. Posted a dreadful 29% 2-point percentage overall
-Misses good looks around the rim due to his lack of explosiveness.
-Forced to settle for mid-range pull-ups when he can't turn the corner and beat his man off the dribble

前景展望:
Forced into significant action due to the large number of players who declined to play for Australia at this tournament. Handled himself very well despite playing up two years. Showed some great flashes of potential. Appears to have a substantial amount of upside left to tap into with his terrific size, athleticism and creativity with the ball. Looks like a hard worker and a good teammate. Likely on the NCAA track. Will get recruited at the highest levels of college basketball.
Andres Feliz, 6-1, IMG Academy, Dominican Republic, 1997
Jonathan Givony
优点:
-Good quickness. Can operate at different speeds. Very slithery with the ball
-Terrific in transition
-Good ball-handler. More comfortable driving right, but shows potential driving in either direction
-Doesn't turn the ball over
-Very good on the pick and roll
-Draws a lot of fouls with the pressure he puts on the defense
-Gets to the basket frequently. Good finisher despite his lack of size. Doesn't mind contact.
-Utilizes nifty floaters in mid-range area
-Can pull-up off the dribble if defense goes underneath. Nothing mechanically wrong with his jumper.
-Should be able to develop into a good shooter.
-Finds teammates with simple drive and dish plays. Not selfish.
-Only 17 years old. 18 months younger than some of the players at this tournament.
缺点:
-Small, with short arms
-Skinny frame that shows limited potential
-Average defender at best. Doesn't have great tools on defense, and doesn't show great fundamentals or intensity either
-Jumper has improved, but still on the streaky side at times (32% 3P%). Really struggles with feet set. Much better off the dribble
-Surprisingly poor shooter from free throw line (63%)
-A little wild with the ball at times. Feel for the game, experience level a work in progress still.
-Court vision, decision making skills will need to improve
-Doesn't always trust his off hand. Prefers to drive right. Finishes with right hand on left side of basket.

前景展望:
A pleasant surprise in Crete. Appears to have improved substantially from last summer, where he was just an average player at the FIBA Americas U18s. Primary shot-creator for Dominican Republic, asked to do quite a bit for this team. Fearless scoring point guard. Has an average physical profile, which limits his upside for the highest levels. Has the makings of a very good college point guard. Rumored to be heading to USF to play for Orlando Antigua, whose brother was one of the coaches for this team.
Berk Ugurlu, 6'3, Fenerbahce Ulker, Turkey, 1996
Jonathan Givony
Strengths:
-Decent size for a point guard (listed at 6-4, but probably closer to 6-2)
-Solid athlete for position
-Quick in open court. Good in transition
-Not a selfish player. Can create for teammates in pick and roll or drive and dish situations
-Aggressive taking ball to basket
-Can beat opponents off the dribble using purely his first step, driving left or right
-Good ball-handler. Spins nicely.
-Can make an occasional pull-up jumper in the mid-range area if the defense goes under
-Decent form on jump-shot, even out to the 3-point line
Weaknesses:
-Considered a non-shooter earlier in career. Has shown some progress in that area, but not really at this tournament. Was 0-8 on 3-pointers in Crete, but 10-12 from free throw line
-21-84 for 3 in 1100+ minutes we have charted.
-Not a brilliant passer. Gets tunnel vision at times driving down the lane.
-Decision making often leaves something to be desired.
-Turns ball over on careless passes
-Can create his own shot, but a great finisher around the rim. Often just heaves the ball up on the glass hoping for the best
-Can do a better job of getting all the way to the rim, creating contact, or getting to the free throw line.
-Not very consistent with his play
Outlook: Has been the starting point guard for the Turkish junior national teams since he was 16 years old. Had a very strong U18 European Championship last summer, leading his team to the championship, but had a difficult 2014-2015 season, struggling to get any playing time for Euroleague Final Four participants Fenerbahce. Missed a game with an injury at the U19s, but was generally up and down with his play. Didn't make a single 3-pointer which is a real concern. Will need to find a situation next year where he can get serious playing time at the pro level.
Maximo Fjellerup, 6-5, Bahia Blanca, Argentina, 1997
Jonathan Givony
Strengths:
-Good size for a point guard
-Fluid and smooth guard
-Unselfish player. Good court vision. Creates offense for teammates intelligently
-Talented ball-handler with nice footwork
-Terrific rebounder for a guard
-Great anticipation skills jumping in the passing lanes
-Extremely young. Doesn't turn 18 until November.
Weaknesses:
-More smooth than explosive. Struggles to turn the corner on drives
-Doesn't initiate contact around the basket. Drives softly to the basket. Doesn't finish through contact. Throws up tough shots around the rim. Doesn't like using his off hand to finish.
-Doesn't get to the free throw line
-Somewhat stuck between guard positions. 1/1 assist to turnover ratio in Crete
-Lacks consistency as a shooter. Shot just 18% for 3 in Crete
-Looked passive/uncomfortable operating without the ball. Not assertive enough to find ways to utilize his talent without being the primary facilitator.
-Average defender
Outlook: Did not have a great tournament, following up a somewhat disappointing showing at the NBA Basketball Without Borders Camp in New York in February, although he was almost playing up by two years being born in late 1997. Struggles to show his talent and creativity when everything doesn't revolve around him offensively, which it didn't. Argentina's lack of chemistry didn't help matters. Must continue to progress as an outside shooter and play with more aggressiveness.

得分后卫篇
Jonathan Givony
优点:
-SG位置上不错的尺寸—6尺6的身高
-弹跳上的爆发力很好,在半场进攻中不是总能展现这一点,但还是有一些令人印象深刻的充满爆发力的表现,在转换进攻中这一点体现的更为明显。
-打球非常顺滑灵动。
-出色的射手,U19世青赛上3分命中率45%,上赛季在欧冠和土耳其超级联赛上命中率42%。
-天生的出手手感,在很多困难的角度都能出手将球扔进篮筐。
-极佳的定点投篮能力,运球投篮能力在快速进步中。
-非常无私的球员,有时候无私过头,总是以正确的方式打球。
-很有创造力的传球手。二传给位置更合理的队友,善于突破分球给内线,从来不勉强执行进攻。
-利用自己快速的第一步启动速度在直线突破中过掉对手,在突破中脚步运用和时机把握都很好。
-无球时是个聪明的空切者。
-手感柔和,善于使用抛投。
-抢断的嗅觉和反应速度很好,职业生涯在国际比赛中利用自己对比赛的感觉,每40分钟可以有3.4次抢断,
-是个很谦虚、刻苦的球员。
缺点:
缺点:
-身体还不成熟,他的身体能够真正变得强壮吗?与两年前相比,他并没有涨多少肉。
-目前只是个平均水平的控球者,运球时不会弯曲自己的膝盖,身子俯的很低,在半场进攻中自己创造空间的能力不足。
-在对抗下终结能力不够好,缺乏对抗力量也缺乏一定的强硬。
-突到内线后的得分方式不是很高效,有时可以直接突到底上篮的球却选择在跑动中抛投。
-平均水准的防守。防守时没有俯身降低重心的意识,瘦弱的身体在防守端被人鱼肉;需要使自己变得更强壮,并提高专注度。

前景展望:
青年比赛中惊人的得分手,截至目前在国际比赛中每40分钟场均27分,同时保持着61%的TS%值,在这次U19世青赛中,比不少球员小一岁(今年7月才年满18岁),仍然是赛会中最好的得分手之一,入选了赛会最佳阵容。在上赛季,代表艾菲斯出战欧冠比赛,以17岁的年纪场均出场12分钟,尽管如此年轻,仍然在欧冠中打出了不少值得纪念的表现。明年他就可以参加NBA选秀了,预期他下赛季将进一步打出更好的表现。在我们对他的采访中,他告诉我们:他有强烈的打NBA的兴趣,也许就在明年,他就会选择登录NBA。

-运动能力不错,在不同快慢的速度和节奏下都应对自如。第一步敏捷、快速。偶尔能跃起送上一记灌篮。
-转换进攻能力出众。
-在进攻中什么都能干一点。
-在每40分钟出手5次的情况下保持着52%的3分命中率,罚球命中率77%。
-投篮手型很棒,空位投篮非常值得信赖,也能运球后投篮。
-几乎从来不勉强的执行进攻,努力让自己打得更加无私。习惯找到位置更加合理的队友。
-可以阅读防守并找到处于空位的队友,特别擅长在移动中的传球。
-在挡拆和一对一的情形下都能创造出进攻机会,善于走上罚球线(每40分钟8.9次)。
-在防守端比较拼,大多数时间都能付出很大的努力,在一对一防守时,可以快速移动自己脚步并给对方施加压力。每40分钟有3.2次抢断。
-作为后卫篮板能力很好(每40分钟摘下8个篮板)。甚至可以凭借自己的韧性抢下进攻篮板。
-作为后卫篮板能力很好(每40分钟摘下8个篮板)。甚至可以凭借自己的韧性抢下进攻篮板。
缺点:
-作为得分后卫身体条件比较普通,且只有180磅。
-臂展不好(6尺3寸半),比身高还短(穿鞋6尺4寸)。
-在篮下终结能力不足,缺少力量和高度,这让他有时在对抗下很难完成投篮。
-防守端不能始终保持专注。当他注意力高度集中时,在防守端他能做的不错,当他不专注时,会很挣扎。
前景展望:
前景展望:
U19世青赛中表现非常棒,每40分钟可以得到25分,同时效率极高(69%的TS%)。似乎与过去我们所认识的那个高中里的泰勒-多西不是一个人,特别是防守端。接受了自己在球队中上场时间比较紧凑的角色(每场20分钟左右),但是仍然是队中进攻贡献最大的球员。尽力使自己融入到了球队中,发挥自己的优势,打得很成功,入选赛会最佳阵容。在进入大学之前,这次的表现无疑提升了他的行情。而在比赛中他似乎也提高了自己的篮球智商。

优点:
-6尺7的身高,SG位置上出色的尺寸。
-非常强壮的身板,而且还会变得更加壮硕。
-有一双大手,一对长臂。
-惊人的运动能力,在U19比赛中有很多令人难以置信、印象深刻的灌篮和封盖。

-在防守侵略性很高的情况下,他仍然可以运球后投进中距离。
-出色防守者,在U19世青赛中他可以防守3到4个位置。经常利用自己出色的横移速度去限制对手的控球后卫,在这届比赛中,他限制了很多优秀的进攻球员。
弱点:
弱点:
-一直都不是高效高产的进攻球员,生涯2分命中率47%,3分25%,罚球62%。
-显示除了外围投射的潜力,但是整个生涯都不是稳定的射手,在U19世青赛上,三分26投7中,罚球命中率只有59%。

-进攻选择很有问题,不能时刻意识到自己的不足,因而会做出一些有问题的投篮选择。
-控球技术在提高,可以利用自己的第一步过掉对手,但是需要提高自己变速和变向的能力,特别是打挡拆和一对一的情形下。

前景展望:
前景展望:
U19世青赛上表现出众的球员之一,决赛中对阵美国U19表现最为出色,23分5篮板6助攻3抢断。对阵土耳其U19的半决赛同样打的很好。他出色的身体条件、尺寸、运动能力、处理球能力、防守端的潜力、还不错的投篮手型,都让他成为具有很高前景的潜力球员。如果他能找到让自己的跳投稳定的方法,就可以成为一名NBA球员。
Diego Flaccadori, 6'5, Trento, Italy, 1996
Jonathan Givony
Strengths:
-Good size for a playmaking shooting guard at 6-5 with a 6-8 wingspan
-One of the most creative players at the tournament. Tremendous talent with the ball in his hands
-Creates offense with terrific ball-handling skills, footwork and change of pace maneuvers. Keeps defenders off-balance with his herky jerky style.
-Uses shot-fakes, pass-fakes, euro-steps, and other trickiness
-Can make shots off the dribble when defenders go underneath screens
-Plays with great aggressiveness and confidence
-Throws in floaters off the glass with outstanding touch
-Terrific feel for finding teammates with a variety of types of passes. Drives and dishes with great creativity and flair
-Gets in the passing lanes with anticipation skills and timing
Weaknesses:
-Only 172 pounds. Frame is very frail and needs quite a bit of work. Some concerns about how much potential it has long-term.
-Was not particularly efficient at this tournament. 46% 2P%, 30% 3P
-Not a consistent enough shooter at this point. Shot-selection has something to do with this. Almost all of his jumpers at the U19s came off the dribble. This is partially due to the abnormally large role he was forced to shoulder due to injuries on his squad.
-Not always strong enough to get into the teeth of the defense and finish through contact. Shoots too many floaters.
-Average defender at best. Doesn't always give the best effort here. Lack of strength is a hindrance. Will be the biggest obstacle he has to overcome to play in the NBA.
Outlook:Combo guard who can dribble, pass and shoot. Terrific option in pick and roll and isolation situations. Followed up a strong showing at the Adidas EuroCamp with an even better tournament with the U19 national team. Had a very good game against USA, showing his game isn't hampered by the athleticism of the Americans. Barely played last season in the Italian first division, which is surprising.

Terrance Ferguson, 6'6, Prime Prep Academy, USA, 1998
Jonathan Givony
优点:
-穿鞋身高6尺7。
-极具爆发力的弹跳,在热身中非常轻松就能高高跃起完成漂亮的灌篮。
-作为外围射手潜力很高,习惯于接球就投,对于这项技术很自信(在本次比赛中场均22分钟的时间里出手6次)。
-会利用掩护接球投篮,凭借自己的运动能力可以创造出出手空间。
-防守端非常卖力。
-几个月前才年满17岁,比赛会中大多数球员小2岁。
-几个月前才年满17岁,比赛会中大多数球员小2岁。
缺点:
-只有183磅,身材有些瘦弱,特别是下肢,需要一定时间来使自己更加强壮。
-臂章比较一般,6尺8到6尺9的样子。
-糟糕的控球能力,在阵地进攻中很难通过运球给自己创造出机会,很少走上罚球线。
-投篮手型并不稳定,有时出手点很低,出手时经常不能保持身体平衡。跳投时习惯起跳很高,在下落时再将球扔出去。
-没有持续稳定的攻击方式,阵地进攻中的3分和转换进攻是他唯一的两种得分手段。
-球场上的意识不好,比赛感觉需要加强。
前景展望:
前景展望:
运动能力非常出色的得分后卫,拥有极佳的尺寸,有成为优秀射手的潜质。与杰里米-兰姆和杰拉德-格林相似,不过似乎有着更好的斗志和防守潜力。本次比赛中表现一般(per值7.9),但作为比赛中最年轻的球员之一仍然打出了自己的特点。
Marc Garcia, 6-6, Barcelona, Spain, 1996
Jonathan Givony
Strengths:
-Good size for a shooting guard
-Smooth athlete. Very fluid and mobile.
-Good instincts as a scorer and shot-creator.
-Terrific footwork on drives
-Shifty ball-handler with right hand. Changes speeds and directions. Gets low to the ground
-Doesn't turn ball over very often (13% career TOV%)
-Has done a great job of getting to free throw line at every level he's played at (6.7 attempts per-40 even in ACB)
-Has good shooting mechanics and has made quite a few 3-pointers in his career (2.5 makes per-40 in 113 career games)
-Reliable free throw shooter (85% in Crete, 78% career)
-Great instincts jumping in the passing lanes (2.6 steals per-40 in Crete, close to 2 per-40 career)
Weaknesses:
-Very thin frame which may struggle to fill out long-term
-Very poor finisher around the basket. Has struggled to convert inside the arc at every level he's played at. Career 40% 2P%. Shocking 24% for 2 at this tournament
-Not an explosive athlete. That, combined with his thin frame makes it difficult for him to finish around the rim. Settles for floaters regularly. Crumbles at the first sign of contact. Needs to improve his off hand on his finishes
-Struggling badly with his jump-shot as of late. 29% for 3 in the ACB this season. 30% at this tournament. In a huge funk from beyond the arc in past year plus.
-Not a great passer. Looks to create almost exclusively for himself
-A little bit of a gunner at times. Takes questionable shots
-Poor defender. Lacks toughness and strength. Intensity level leaves a lot to be desired. Doesn't close out with urgency. Doesn't fight through screens.
Outlook:Creative shooting guard with nice scoring instincts. In the midst of a difficult period, coming off a tough season in the ACB. Seems to have lost much of his swagger which made him such an intriguing player earlier in his career. Frame needs to improve substantially. Still flashes signs of intrigue with his ability to draw fouls, get in the passing lanes and make an occasional jumper, but needs to improve his defense, shooting consistency and become a much better finisher inside the arc to reach the tremendous potential he showed earlier in his career. Rights are owned by Barcelona, so will almost certainly be on loan again next year.
Corey Johnson, 6-5, Harvard, Canada, 1996
Jonathan Givony
Strengths:
-Not extremely tall at 6-5, but has a very long 6-11 wingspan and a frame that is continuing to fill out.
-Arguably the best shooter at the tournament. Picture perfect shooting mechanics
-Automatic with feet set. Deep range. Hits shots with a man in his face.
-Runs to the corners in transition and is a huge threat in the early offense
-Makes extra pass. Plays within himself. Rarely turns ball over. High basketball IQ
-Length gives him a chance to be a solid defender when combined with his competitiveness and smarts
Weaknesses:
-Somewhat one dimensional. Was taken out of games by aggressive defenders looking to deny his jumper
-Needs to improve his ability to come off screens
-Needs to improve his ability to make shots off the dribble
-Ball-handling skills are rudimentary
-Poor finisher around the basket. Lacks great strength and explosiveness. Doesn't create contact inside the paint and get to the free throw line
-Gets blown by off the dribble a little too often defensively. Can continue to improve here
-Like many Canadians, going into high school a year older than most US-born collegiate freshmen.
Outlook:High level shooter with good size, length, feel and competitiveness. A huge steal for Harvard. Went to a small high school in Ottawa and was off the radar screen of better colleges seemingly (even though we liked him quite a bit at the FIBA U18s last summer and wrote as much). Needs to continue to improve his all-around polish, but has all the tools to do so and plays a role that is extremely coveted in today's NBA.
Okben Ulubay, 6'7, Anadolu Efes, Turkey, 1996
Jonathan Givony
Strengths:
-Great size for a shooting guard at 6-7.
-Extremely versatile player who can do a little bit of everything on both ends of the floor
-Brings ball up the floor and initiates the offense at times
-Can play some pick and roll
-Gets to the free throw line at a high rate
-Creative passer. Finds open man in different situations
-Can post up a bit. Shoots a lot of turnaround jumpers
-Outstanding defender when motivated. Gets in a stance, moves feet. Can guard multiple positions
-Good instincts getting in passing lanes.
-Can make an occasional outside shot. Jumper not totally broken
Weaknesses:
-Not an efficient offensive player. 45% TS% at the U19s. Has been an issue his whole career
-Lacks consistency as a shooter. Shoots a very flat jumper. Contorts body. Needs to improve the arch on his shot and improve his lower body mechanics
-Struggles to finish around the basket. Made just 42% of 2-point attempts at U19s. Shies away from contact. Doesn't use off hand.
-Doesn't play with any real intensity. Often looks like he's just going through the motions, on both ends of the floor
Outlook:Staple of the Turkish national junior teams since the age of 15. Fifth summer in a row playing for the national team despite only being 19. Saw a handful of minutes this season in the Turkish league and Euroleague for Anadolu Efes, but mostly played for their second division team (Pertevniyal), where he was up and down. Extremely talented, but gives off a vibe as being somewhat of an underachiever. Lacks intensity and consistency. Has a definite chance to be a NBA player if he can maximize his potential defensively and become a consistent outside shooter.
Vanja Marinkovic, 6'5, Partizan, Serbia, 1997
Jonathan Givony
Strengths:
-Decent size for a shooting guard at 6-5. Nice body. Solid length.
-Above average athlete. Can elevate around the basket. Solid quickness.
-One of the best shooters in the tournament. 44% for 3 on 4.6 attempts per game. 86% FT

-A year younger than most of the competition
Weaknesses:
-One-dimensional player offensively right now. Struggles to create own shot
-Poor ball-handler.
-Struggles to finish around the basket in the half-court. Avoids contact. Doesn't get to free throw line (seven attempts in 191 minutes in Crete). Doesn't use off-hand.
-Can improve the quickness of his release. Dips the ball unnecessary on the catch
-Doesn't create much for teammates. Average passer
Outlook:A staple of the Serbian junior national teams at the U16, U17 and U18 age groups. One of the most experienced players at the tournament, after seeing 15 minutes per game at age 17/18 in the Serbian league, EuroCup and Adriatic League for Partizan. Had a handful of very impressive performances in senior competition. Struggled against better competition at the U19s, but ended up having a solid tournament with some good showings in the consolation bracket. Has some interesting tools to work with his solid physical tools and perimeter shooting ability.
Radovan Djokovic, 6'5, Mega Vizura, Serbia, 1996
Jonathan Givony
Strengths:

-Struggles to get all the way to the basket. Throws up a lot of garbage around the rim.
-Very streaky shooter throughout his career. 21/70 in 900 career minutes we have charted
-Lacks great lateral quickness on defense. Can he guard high-level shooting guards at the NBA level?
L.J. Peak, 6'5, Georgetown, USA, 1996
Jonathan Givony
Strengths:
-Not overly tall (6-3 without shoes) but has a terrific frame (212 pounds) and an extremely long wingspan (6-9 ½) that allows him to play much bigger than his height
-Very good athlete
-Can attack in a straight line with a very quick first step
-Great quickness in the open court
-Outstanding defender. Guarded multiple positions in Crete. Long and competitive Great lateral quickness. Can get up and put tremendous pressure on the defense
-Gets in passing lanes on a regular basis.
Terrific defender. Catch and shoot jumpers. Pretty good athlete. Gets to rim.
Weaknesses:
-Limited offensive player. Was neither a prolific, nor efficient scorer as a freshman or at the U19s
-Poor outside shooter. Career 26% 3-point shooter. Made only two 3s in 95 minutes in Crete and 56% of his free throws
-Average ball-handler. Called for a travel almost every time he tried to put ball on floor.
-Often looked out of control trying to create own shot in the half-court. Can't change speeds or directions with the ball. Only drives right
-Needs to improve shooting mechanics. Shoots it differently almost every time. Dips ball significantly. Sometimes flails elbow out, and contorts body sideways as he elevates for jumpers
-Can't really create his own shot
Outlook:Solid role-player for USA. Defended, ran the floor, and mostly stayed out of the way on offense in the half-court. Made one huge 3-pointer late in the fourth quarter in the Gold medal game against Croatia.

小前锋篇
Josh Jackson, 6'8, Prolific Prep, USA, 1997
Jonathan Givony
优点:
-作为侧翼球员不错的尺寸(裸足身高6尺7,臂展6尺10)。
-去年一年涨了10磅,现在203磅了,他的身体未来应该还能变得更加壮实。
-惊人的运动能力,弹速很快,敏捷速度快,充满爆发力,在场上满场飞奔。
-防守端潜力巨大,可以防守4个位置,横移很棒,打球机动性很高。
-有很好的抢断嗅觉和抢断技巧,每40分钟3.3次抢断,也经常送上盖帽,每40分钟1.4次封盖。
-侧翼球员位置上极佳的篮板手,U19世青赛中每40分钟11.4个篮板。去年的U17世青赛上是14.6个。由于其强大的二次起跳能力和高机动性,在进攻篮板的表现上特别令人印象深刻。
-即便不是进攻战术的主要参与者也会积极参与到进攻中,无球进攻非常积极,他会始终努力的争抢进攻篮板、转换进攻积极快下、频繁的无球跑位。
-控球技术、运动能力、身高臂展、机动性,这些混合在一起使他在转换进攻中效率极高。
-中远投的能力有了一些进步,去年的U17世青赛上他没有投进一个三分,今年的U19他以50%的命中率投进了一定数目的三分球。他运球投篮比定点投篮还好一点,不过在U19上他两种方式都投进了一些球。
-无私的球员,找到位置最合理的队友,球在手上时能显现出自己的创造力,特别是行进中的传球。
-可以摘下后场篮板直接发起一条龙。
缺点:
缺点:
-身体发育还未成熟,下肢还显得很纤细。
-总得来说,中远距离投篮还有待提高,U19上罚球命中率为61%,整个生涯里为57%。
-有时自己的投篮出手会非常勉强、不情愿。
-需要加强自己高阶的控球即时,运球有点高,阵地进攻中自己创造投篮机会时容易出现失误。
-突到篮下最后终结那一下有时会很挣扎,由于缺少力量和丰富的进攻手段,不能始终打进自己创造出的机会
-靠天赋打球而不是靠基本功打球,有时在攻守两端都会失去控制,很依赖自己的直觉和本能,因此会出现一些不可预测的情况,投篮选择有时也会有问题。
-容易吃对手的假动作,喜欢赌博性抢断。
-肢体语言有时不太好,经常向裁判抱怨,在场上情绪激动、反应激烈。
-在他之一级(16级)的高中生中他的年纪算大的,大一结束时他将年满20岁。
前景展望:
前景展望:
非常全面多才多艺的侧翼球员,可以根据情况在场上打不同的位置。在场上任何事都能做一点。还是个半成品、很多技术有待打磨,不过在很多方面都显示出了天赋。无私的球员,防守端非常积极。他在进攻端能达到什么样的上限还有待观察,不过至少会是个非常全面的球员。

缺点:
缺点:
-目前还不知道怎么在阵地进攻中稳定的有效利用自己的身体条件。
-由于缺少力量和打球的强硬度,不能始终打进自己走到篮下创造出的机会,有时会畏惧对抗,阵地进攻时油漆区内的命中率只有35%。
-在U19中很少走上罚球线。
-需要提高自己跳投的出手速度,无论是定点投篮还是运球投篮。
-生涯截至目前3分命中率为28%,未来会成为一个不错的射手,但目前还需要努力提高。
前景展望:

Vasilis Charalampopoulos, 6'8, Panathinaikos, Greece, 1997
Jonathan Givony
[b]Strengths:
-Very good size for a small forward at 6-8, with a strong frame and long arms.
-One of the smartest and most polished teenagers you'll find anywhere in the world
-Great timing and smarts
-Extremely versatile player.
-Can score with back to the basket, using nifty footwork, a strong frame and the ability to finish with either hand and soft touch
-Good mechanics on catch and shoot jumpers. Can heat up from beyond the arc. Made 50% of his 3-point attempts at the U19s. Hit 40% of his 3-pointers this season as a pro
-Excellent passer. Finds cutters with bounce passes. Drives and dishes. Consistently posts strong passing metrics
-Very mature. Never rattled. Plays with supreme confidence and poise. Operates at own unique pace
-Can create his own shot on straight line drives. Changes speeds. Finishes off the glass
-Very competitive on defense. Gets in the passing lanes with anticipation skills and timing
-Excellent rebounder. 10 rebounds per-40 at U19s. 6 per-40 as a teenage pro
Weaknesses:
-Not very athletic in a traditional sense. Lacks quickness and explosiveness relative to his position at the NBA level
-Frame is already mature.
-Is he quick enough laterally to defend small forwards?
-Is he big enough to defend power forwards?
Outlook:Incredibly experienced player for an 18-year old. Saw his first minutes of pro basketball at the age of 15 already. Has already seen real minutes for Panathinaikos in both the Euroleague and Greek league. Played for the Greek National Junior team at the age of 14 at the U16 level and more than held his own. Amazingly poised and mature. Was limited at the U19s by a nasty ankle injury that would have prevented almost player from participating. Foot swelled up to abnormal sizes and needed to be drained a few hours before games. Only played six games as a result, averaging just 14 minutes per contest. Was there when his team needed him though. Played 25 minutes in the quarterfinals and 36 minutes in the semifinals, mostly on one leg. Team player and huge competitor. Doesn't ooze with athleticism or upside, but is the kind of guy you would never want to bet against. A Euro Draymond Green?
Dillon Brooks, 6'7, Oregon, Canada, 1996
Jonathan Givony
Strengths:
-Good size for a small forward. Strong frame
-Extremely aggressive offensive player. Led the tournament in usage rate
-Has excellent scoring instincts. Averaged 30 points per-40 minutes pace adjusted at the U19s. Last summer averaged 40 points per-40.
-Can score in a variety of ways. Pushes the ball in transition. Can post up
-Can create his own shot. Plays some pick and roll as the ball-handler from the power forward position, which is very difficult for opposing teams to defend. Can score in isolation situations
-Gets to the free throw line at a tremendous rate (over 11 per-40 at U19s)
-Capable shooter, both with feet set and off the dribble. Hit 35% of 3-pointers as a college freshman. 82% of his free throw attempts
-Hits off the dribble 3-pointers
-Strong rebounder. Averaged just under 10 rebounds per-40. Allows him to see some minutes at the power forward spot without hurting his team on the glass
Weaknesses:
-Good not great athlete
-Somewhat stuck between the small forward and power forward positions, particularly defensively
-Streak shooter. Hit just 21% of his 3-pointers at the U19s in Crete on a decent number of attempts. Shot-selection is often the culprit, but tends to elevate too high on his pull-ups at times, giving him a varying release point.
-Average finisher around the basket. Lack of length and average explosiveness make it difficult for him to convert in traffic, especially with his often extremely aggressive shot-selection
-Decision making is poor. Tends to force the issue. Calls his own number too often. Passes up wide open shooters to settle for tough shots instead.
-Averaged an outrageous 8.5 turnovers per-40 minutes (5.1 last summer). Really hurt his team
-Indifferent defender. Doesn't get into a real stance. Lacks length and lateral quickness, which combined with his average fundamentals make him very ineffective here. Can get some stops when he locks in.
Outlook:Tremendously aggressive scorer who was somewhat of a one-man show at times for Canada. Relishes the opportunity to be a go-to guy, sometimes at the expense of his team's ball-movement. Very gifted offensive player who was very effective as a freshman in the Pac-12 in a more moderated role. Will be very interesting to see how he performs in an expanded role as a sophomore at Oregon now that Joseph Young is off to the NBA. Has obvious talent, but needs to improve his role-player potential to find a niche in the NBA, including becoming a more consistent outside shooter, and defending the perimeter.
Justin Jackson, 6'6, UNLV, Canada, 1997
Jonathan Givony
Strengths:
-Sports a chiseled frame at 232 pounds, and an incredibly long 7-2 wingspan. Big hands
-Fluid and mobile athlete
-Very talented offensive player. Can do a little bit of everything
- Has improved his perimeter shooting ability. Form on jump-shot is solid. Made 40% of his 3-point attempts at the U19s on a limited number of attempts.
-Can create his own shot effectively. Did quite a bit of ball-handling for Canada, in transition, isolation and pick and roll ball-handling situations
-Uses hesitation moves effectively. Uses body to create space. Has nice footwork, can spin and score inside the paint. Aggressive going to the basket. Creates contact inside the paint and gets to free throw line
-Nice touch on floaters
-Tremendous rebounder for a wing. 11 rebounds per-40 at U19s
-Has great potential defensively with fluidity, body and length
-Impressive instincts for steals and blocks. Posted over 2 per game in both categories.
Weaknesses:
-Not particularly explosive. Lacks the verticality needed to be a high-level finisher around the basket. Made only 46% of his 2-point attempts in Crete, and 19/43 overall attempts inside the paint.
-Struggles to make shots off the dribble
-Jump-shot still prone to streakiness. Release point is inconsistent at times. Mechanics get a bit rigid when tightly contested
-Decision making not always there. Tends to settle for wild shots
-Needs to improve advanced ball-handling skills, and ability to weave in and out of traffic. Tries to simply overpower defenders. Drives into brick walls.
-Feel for game is average. Not a great passer.
-Very inconsistent from game to game. Looks like a lottery pick some games, and a future D-Leaguer in others.
-Shot just 45% from free throw line in Crete. Focus level isn't always there
Outlook:Extremely talented wing (probably should have been in our shooting guard article) who alternated from impressive to frustrating seemingly without rhyme or rhythm. Undecided still on whether to enroll at UNLV next season or remain at Findlay. Neither appear to be perfect options. Needs serious structure and guidance to reach his extremely high ceiling.
Tolga Gecim, 6'8, Banvit, Turkey, 1996
Jonathan Givony
Strengths:
-6-8, but plays more point guard than small forward.
-Extremely creative with ball in hands. Led the entire competition with 10.8 assists per-40. Has a great feel for finding the open man. Extremely unselfish with excellent court vision.
-Good ball-handler. Rarely turns ball over
-Can post up a bit
-Gets in passing lanes with nice anticipation skills (2.4 steals per-40)
Can handle and pass at 6-8 but not particularly quick and jumper is still inconsistent. Posts up a bit. Super creative bounce passes to cutters.
Weaknesses:
-Lacks quickness and explosiveness in a serious way
-Struggled badly to finish around the basket. Converted just 25% of his attempts inside the paint in the half-court at the U19s. Posted a dreadful 29% 2-point percentage overall
-Misses good looks around the rim due to his lack of explosiveness.
-Forced to settle for mid-range pull-ups when he can't turn the corner and beat his man off the dribble
-Struggles with the consistency of his outside shot. Made just 27% of 3-point attempts. Career 29% from outside
-Very upright in stance defensively. Gets beat off the dribble regularly and forced to foul.
Outlook:Rare to see a player his size with such a great basketball IQ and ability to create for others. Questionable whether he helped or hurt his team with his ball-dominant style and extreme inefficiency offensively. Difficult to see NBA potential in him with his lack of athleticism. Should make a good career in Turkey as a sort of poor man's Emir Predzlic.
Abu Kigab, 6'7, St. Francis (Ontario), Canada, 1998
Jonathan Givony
Strengths:
-Great athletic profile. Good size. Strong frame. Long arms
-Plays the right away. Hustles. Makes extra pass
-Has decent touch on jump-shot. Made a handful of jumpers, showing his shooting potential is not hopeless
-Good in transition
-Excellent potential defensively. Can guard multiple positions. Plays hard. Moves feet well. Can develop into a huge weapon on this end of the floor in time
-Willing to take charges.
-Rebounds very well. 14 rebounds per-40
-One of the youngest players at the competition. Has a huge amount of room to grow in many different areas.
Weaknesses:
-Extremely unpolished offensively
-Very off-balance on jumpers. Elbow flails out. Mechanics need serious work
-Can't create his own shot. Very rudimentary ball-handler
-Struggles to pull-up off the dribble.
Ugly shooting stroke.
Outlook:Played an important role for Canada, despite being only 16 years. Has great physical tools to go along with a strong motor and some budding skills. Very unpolished in virtually every area as you'd expect from a 16-year old. Has huge potential if he continues to work and improve. Defense alone gives him a great foundation to build off.
