Highlights |
GSW position: SG really how you spell his name Nikola Djurisic
Highs: has a nice frame, can assist (can find the open man), can shoot, not a bad defender, stronger than he looks to the rim, can handle the ball, can play off ball as well
Lows: has to be more efficient with his shooting, turnovers, free throws not the best usually 1 out of 2 type of thing, defensively has to know when to do what (switching etc.), does not really rebound, has to be more aggressive on the defense side not bad though

Here is another guy I have higher than the consensus. Playmaking at his size is extremely scarce! He knows how to jab without wasted movement, play with his back to the basket, and get to a shot he's comfortable with. His ball-handling is underrated too. If he can play at his pace in the NBA, he will find his way into a rotation.

One of my favorite prospects in this draft, Durisic is one of the more complete offensive wings in the class, displaying 3 level scoring ability, shot creation, and point forward skills. His defense has a ways to go, and that's putting it lightly.
