Juhann Begarin

Draft Notes

Juhann Begarin is a 6-4+ power guard from France who clearly has NBA level athleticism and is a likely draft pick in 2021. He shows a lot of flashes of scoring talent but doesn’t yet have a great feel for the game and has a a ways to go to be NBA ready. Still, upside athletes get drafted and Bergarin has elite physical tools.

At this point he’s mostly a straight line driver, iso scoring option and transition player.

He has all the tools to be a great defender, including a massive 7-0 wingspan, and he shows flashes on that side of the ball as well.

He needs to play with more consistent intensity and learn the finer points of the game.

Comparisons

• He’s got a build and a playing style that reminds of Lonnie Walker but not as much feel for the game as Lonnie.
