Top Prospect Profiles: Jan Vesely

Jan Vesely, PF Czech Republic (6-11, 240) Age: 20

Strengths: Great size, length and athleticism. Has some explosiveness and uses it effectively on both ends of the floor. Great motor leads to lots of put back dunks, steals, and blocks. Good rebounder and defender who plays with great energy on offense and defense. Can take players off the dribble, good finisher who tries to dunk everything. Above average ball handler for size, NBA 3 point range on his jumpshot.

Weaknesses: Vesely is more of a role player at this point of his career in Europe and doesn't have a ton of experience. He's not much of a post player at this point, but he's got the fluidity and touch to develop one down the road. Great frame, but still needs to add bulk. Surprisingly bad free throw shooter.

NBA Comparison: Tiago Splitter, Spurs

Draft Projection: Top 10

Season Stats (in Euroleague): 26.9 mpg, 9.2 ppg, 3.4 rpg, 1.1 apg, 1.4 spg, 0.8 bpg, 51%/43%/33% (FG/FT/3P)
