Jose Nogues, 6-7, Small Forward, Joventut, Spain, 1995
Jonathan Givony
Strengths:
-Good size for a wing
-Solid athlete
-Skilled and versatile player with a good feel for the game
-Can make a 3-pointer with feet set
-Can attack a closeout with nice footwork
-Doesn't make mistakes
-Unselfish, team oriented player
Weaknesses:
-Very poor frame. Major questions about how much his body will fill out in time, and how that will affect him at the pro level
-Inconsistent shooter. Has a bit of a hitch in his jump-shot
-Struggles to finish around the basket through contact
-Lateral quickness is average, may struggle to defend quicker and stronger wing players
Outlook: One of the key players on the team that won the NIJT championship. Versatile player who contributes in a variety of different areas. Has good height, but a poor frame which could hinder him from reaching his potential as a player at the pro level. Not spectacular in any area, but looks like a good prospect for European basketball, particularly if he's able to become a more consistent shooter.
