Petar Bjelica

Draft Notes

A highly talented big man with really soft hands and a great touch around the basket. Does a good job of making himself available, finding space in the defense and scoring in the lane.

Shows some face up skills and an expanding game.

Sees the floor well and moves the ball well out of double teams.

Isn’t a run/jump athlete and is much more of a skill-based player. Will have to improve his foot speed but he does run the floor hard and makes up for his lack of top end speed with good effort.
