Jonathan Givony
Strengths:
-One of the top scorers at this tournament
-Versatile player who does a bit of everything
-Good feel for the game. Very nice instincts
-Likes to face up from the 3-point line and take his man off the dribble
-Excellent touch around the basket. Uses the glass well
-Can score with back to the basket against smaller players
-Solid footwork
-Made 1.5 3-pointers per game here in Kaunas
-Competes on the glass. Grabs some rebounds
Weaknesses:
-Not a great athlete
-Jumper is a bit streaky
-Did most of his damage at the 4 spot
-Potential on defense is questionable
-Has thick legs. May get stuck at the 4 spot at pro level. Likely not big enough to play at a high level there
-How much upside does he have left to improve?
Outlook:
One of the more effective players at this tournament. Led Russia to the finals with some impressive scoring performances. Will need to really hone his jumper and continue to improve his defense to make the transition effectively to the pro level.
