Dash Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Absolutely an incredible physical specimen. He has the size, length, wingspan, lateral quickness (for someone of his size), and explosiveness to be a very intriguing prospect come draft night. The problem with Vesely has always been what position will he play in the NBA, small forward or a power forward? Regardless its going to be tough to pass up on a athlete like him in the late lottery. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eEltkM1K4Y http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNV9Syn9yS4&feature=fvwrel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 I like him a lot. After watching his highlights last year I thought he was a shoe-in for the top 10. Now he should be a top 5 player. IMO he'll play on the wing because of his athleticism. He needs to develop a more consistent jumper from what I've read but that can be done. He'll be one of the better international players to come over in a while if he indeed makes the jump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AboveLegit Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 People call him the European Blake Griffin lol... He has a nice offensive game, I'm guessing he will be played at the 3 spot, but it will be interesting. He has a chance to go in the lottery if the CBA doesn't work out and the top prospects do stay another year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest N/A Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 He's kinda like Gerald Wallace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a chance to go in the lottery if the CBA doesn't work out and the top prospects do stay another year. He's got the body to be a great defender too but like most Europeans he seems to be lacking in that area. However, I read his coaches praised him for his work ethic and dedication so maybe he can improve. Personally I think he's going in the mid-late lottery regardless of the CBA. I like him a lot.

His handles worry me too, they're pretty good for a guy of his size (had a sweet crossover a while ago too) but I don't think he'll fair too well against the NBA forwards. He could still be effective even without great handles. Edited February 15, 2011 by Dash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the lack of defense comes from not facing the same type of speed and athleticism in Europe like they do in the NBA. A lot of defenders today rely on their athleticism to make them good defenders, that not the case in Europe because they have inferior athletes in their leagues.
