Rodions Kurucs
Position: SF From: Latvia Class/YOB: 1998
Height: 6’9 Weight: 200 Wingspan: N/A
Strengths:
- Great size and length for a wing. One of the five biggest wings in the draft.
- Penetrates well for his size. Gets low and accelerates with fluidity. Gets up well to finish at the rim.
- Very skilled. Can hit shots spotting up or on the move. Good ball-handler for his size. Has some playmaking feel.
- Defensive potential. Outsizes most matchups. Slides in front of ball-handlers. Help-side defense is impressive as well. Could be able to guard three positions.
Weaknesses:
- Body isn’t developed yet. Limits defensive versatility. Can get pushed around a lot.
- Didn’t see a lot of time with Barcelona this past season. Was a year of limited development in on-court competition.
- Shooting is good, but regressed against better competition this year. Wonder if confidence was a bit shook.
