According to Evan Daniels, SU is one of the schools showing interest in the Slovakian star who wants to play college ball in the states. He's 6'9 and says that schools are recruiting him to play SG and SF.

Good experience against high-level competition.

 

[orangefog]

Pretty skinny, but he is tall and aggressive. Look at Justin Jackson at UNC, works for him.

And so it begins...

This is EXACTLY what we should be doing now.

Awesome! What are the other schools sniffing around?

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Great. Let's do it.

Just kidding. Vandy, Florida, and Georgia Tech.

His behind the back pass at about 2:05 and is slick. Concern is can he shoot it well enough to play the 3. Looks like he's got a handle.

Yeah, he was only 29% on threes

Just going by that clip [which is woefully inadequate data to make a fully informed assessment] in which it is hard to gauge the level of competition--here are a couple of quick observations:

--He does seem very athletic and runs well.
--Good handle / passing for that size.
--His outside shot looks like a set shot.
--Very skinny [like, Damone / Hakim level scrawny].
--Hard to tell if he was really 6-9 -- he was by far the biggest guy on the floor.

Here are box scores:

Marek DOLEZAJ at the Players of the FIBA U18 European Championship Division B 2016 - FIBA.com

Great plus-minuses and he hits the offensive glass. Had a few cold streaks from deep.

And he plays hard, diving after balls on the floor, not afraid to mix it up for rebounds.

Box score link lists him at 6'8". Draft Express too.

Love me some motor guys instead of the stand around and watch others do the dirty work types.

It'd be nice but I'm not putting too much stock into it. He's listed as a 3/4 everywhere.

 

[Chicago44s]

Take a flyer, if he comes in here and he isn't ready hand em' a shirt for the year. Scholies to burn.

 

[Janner]

Has anyone confirmed if there's mutual interest here? I'm always a bit skeptical with blurbs like this. That said, I'd love to grab a kid like this, versital, athletic, solid handle, 6'8-6'9ish with a good motor. His shot needs some work but it's not to terrible. Looks like a 2/3 right now with a very nice upside
