优点:有NBA水平的身体素质,也很会利用身体配合自己的打法;筐上终结能力强,遇到对抗下,无论单脚还是双脚起跳,左右手都能完成终结;臂展摸高可以;手感不错,突破后可扣可上篮;
爆炸力优秀,强对抗下能完成终结;自信、沉稳,不废话,专注,有决心;持球进攻像砍刀,身体强壮且控制力强,突破第一步后依然动力十足;
看起来篮球智商很高,攻防两边能很好运用自己的优势,很少做高风险决策;无球移动不错,空切积极,弱侧得分多;
基本素质高且脚步快,所以尽管他年轻但防守水平优秀。补防时机好,能换防;可以防小球阵容的1到4号位; 能防突破速度很快的球员;可以做无球挡拆;愿意传球;
精神属性无私、稳定,有求胜欲望,无须球队操心;
缺点:进攻点太接近篮筐,三分差;手感好但投篮姿势不稳定,尤其是被贴防的时候;空位三分、跳投、中距离都需要提升;如果突破路线被封就没有后招;有空间也不愿投篮,而是突破;作为锋卫罚球很差67%;单挑没有创造力,只会突破,因此容易失误;控球组织能力一般;
防守风格偏稳健保守,对位不上防守对方有创造力的球员或者组织后卫;但还是有全能防守潜力,需要开发;有明星潜力但目前只能做补充,还需提升速度以及敏捷;
前景:身体素质良好,防守强于进攻。需要提高投篮以及场上效率;尽管技术粗糙但前景不错;最低限度可以成为NBA的防守多面手,如果能开发空位投篮以及保持终结能力,可以成为球队的价值球员;

具有优秀体型的全才锋线;是多面手,能打2到4号位;良好的比赛感觉;高度篮球智商,很有斗气,不惧大场面;球场上的瑞士军刀,可以做所有的事情;有潜质成为控卫或第二选择的策动者;年纪轻轻就面对高水平比赛而且表现出自我;
运动素质比大部分人想象的要好,作为前锋控球优秀;可以自己创造投篮机会,会干拔、急停;后撤步有模有样,面对错位会很有用;能自己完成一条龙;持球或者作为前锋跑位的场上空间感不错;
精英级的球场视野,极少数像他那样身型的球员有他的视觉,传球有创造力;因为他可投可传可突,能打高水平的持球挡拆进攻,突破时能看到场上空挡,突分球做得很不错;有基本的背筐打法,左右方向都可以进攻;无球打法进步大,空切优秀;篮板还不错;防守多面手,可以防1到3号位以及轻型4号位;防守重心低;速度不错,思维敏捷,如果精神集中可以防住中距离;手快能抢断,能弱侧补帽;
缺点:臂展一般;体型偏轻,增重同时可能影响敏捷度;斗气有时会影响他精神集中度数天时间;有时会在场上梦游;
单挑一对一没有爆炸力不会有很大优势;遇到运动型防守球员会被压制,只能中投; 罚球低于70%让人担忧,投篮不稳定; 目前无法摆脱运动型长人防守;中距离被压制的时候投篮姿势会变形; 进攻极度依赖右手,导致突破线路受限,需要大量的加强左手能力; 因为身体天赋不高,面对长人篮下终结能力不行;不喜欢身体对抗;
有时候持球后成为进攻终结者;需要加强对球场节奏的把控,有时候节奏会过快或过慢导致失误;需要增加背筐打法的套路;球场上决策有待改善;
防守精力集中度不够持久;防守挡拆时追不上对方射手;跟不上对方运动天赋高的中距离球员,这是个潜在大问题;防守时阅读对方挡拆套路能力不足;
前景:被誉为欧洲最佳新生代球员,纸面上可能成为当今篮坛新时代前锋的模板,即能攻能守,能组织单挑,手段丰富;如果环境合适能成长为自成一体的球员
Strengths: Fits the prototype physically of an NBA small forward with
his 6’6 220 lb frame and strong athletic ability, and he uses his size well to
compliment his playing style … A good finisher at the rim off 1 or both feet,
and is able to convert through contact and with either hand effectively …
Has decent length for a wing with a 6’8.5 wingspan and 8’4.5 standing
reach … Flashes good touch to complete plays around the rim on drives when
he’s unable to score on dunks … Capable of highlight finishes where he utilizes
his great explosiveness and strength to power through contact … Has a lot of
composure and confidence for a freshman, and looks the part as a no nonsense
future pro, with focus and determination … A slasher with the ball in his hands,
shows good body control, strength and has enough juice in his 1st step off the
dribble to get in the lane with effectiveness in the NBA … Seems to be a high
IQ player, generally plays to his strengths on both ends and doesn’t make a ton
of risky decisions … Moves well without the ball, actively looking to cut and
score easy points on the weakside … Only 19 years old and already is a pretty
promising defender due to his sound fundamentals and active feet … Flashes good
timing coming up with help side blocks, and also is pretty good at rotating to
take charges as well … Is able to defend on the wing and switch to defend
against some small ball 4s, doing an great job of containing dribble
penetration even against quicker and athletic players in college…Has the frame
to be able to work through screens off the ball…Willing passer and an unselfish
player…Solid player, the type who will handle his role with a workmanlike
approach, possesses winning traits and doesn’t appear to be “high maintenance”
… Born in late January of 2001, he’s one of the younger prospects in this
year’s draft …
Weaknesses: Okoro is a work in progress when it comes to his skill level
offensively … Is more effective the closer he is to the rim, and shot a below
average 28% from 3 in his Fr season … While his touch is good, his mechanics
are inconsistent as he is often affected by closeouts and contests … Will be
made to prove that he can be a threat and hit open shots from 3 point range,
and his upside and offensive value with coincide with his ability to improve
his jumper … His mid-range game is poor at the moment, becomes ineffective when
his initial driving lanes are cut off … Sometimes is apprehensive about
shooting even when there is room, passing up shots or driving into the defense
for lower percentage shots … Also struggles from the FT line for a wing
prospect, shooting a mediocre 67% in 2019-2020 … Doesn’t have much creativity
to his Isolation game, more of a straight line slasher who becomes less
effective/more turnover prone the more he dribbles … Somewhat rudimentary as a
ball-handler in the half court, though he showed a willingness to create when
called upon … He often got stripped by off the ball defenders when he attempted
multiple moves in isolation … Just decent as a shot blocker and ball thief;
seems to prefer to work as a solid, lower risk team defender as opposed to a
gambling, playmaking defender … There is optimism that he can develop into a
“Swiss Army knife” type of player, but there is work to be done on all levels
of his offensive repertoire to fulfill that potential as he doesn’t have any
standout skills, aside from athleticism, on that end of the court just yet …
Was showing signs of becoming a star but still more of a complimentary guy in
his first year at Auburn, can he be a star at the NBA level, he’s likely to be
drafted with that in mind based on draft projections, though he had not reached
that level in college … if he’s able to tone his frame, could gain additional
speed and quickness …
Overall: Okoro is a young prospect coming off a promising Freshman
season for a very good Auburn team, putting up averages of 12 ppg, 4 rpg, 2
apg, and 1 bpg … He is a good athlete with good size and strength, and will be
able to play and defend multiple positions at the next level … His defense is
currently ahead of his offense at this stage in his development, and he will
need to improve upon his shooting and overall effectiveness in a half court
offense to reach his potential as a prospect … Still, he put up 12 ppg in his
1st season in major college hoops with a raw skill set on a veteran team,
offering optimism that he can build his budding skills into even greater production
… At the least, he should develop into a prospect who has value as a solid,
versatile NBA defender but he could potentially develop into a valuable player
if he can stick some open shots and continue to finish well in the paint …
Notes: Measured 6’5 barefoot, 6’6 in shoes, 213 lbs, with a 6’8.5
wingspan, and a 8’4.5″ standing reach in his senior year … Went to the same
Atlanta area high school as Josh Smith (McEachern) … Was the 37th ranked
prospect in the nation entering college by 24/7 and 40th on ESPN …

in 2018 … Unselfish and a solid passer. Averaged 4.3 assists to 2 turnovers per
game over the Nike EYBL in 2018 … Good versatility and effort as a defender.
Sticks to his man when defending on the ball. Moves quick laterally and

game at the U17 World Cup in 2018 … Good shot blocker for a wing, uses timing
and vertical. Averaged 1.3 blocks per game over the Nike EYBL in 2018 … Good
rebounder on both ends especially for a wing. Uses elevation to secure boards.
Averaged 8.9 rebounds (3.3 offensive) per game over the Nike EYBL in 2018 …

release, kind of pushes the ball. Shot 30.6% 3PT% over the Nike EYBL in 2018.
Shot 25% (1-4) 3PT% at the U17 World Cup in 2018 … Shot 64% FT% over the Nike
EYBL in 2018. Shot 53.8% FT% at the U17 World Cup in 2018 … Can improve as a
ball handler and creator. Doesn’t beat the defense with his dribble, most of
his success as a slasher is due to his athleticism. Can expand and improve his
half-court offense, scores a lot of his points in transition. Doesn’t have much
of a midrange offensive game …
Outlook: Auburn freshman … Played in the 2019 Nike Hoop Summit …
Won Gold at the U17 World Cup in 2018 … Played in the 2017 Underclassman
All-American Game …
Evan Tomes 12/14/19
Strengths: All
around talented wing with great size … Versatile, he can play from shooting
guard to power forward … Great feel for the game … He possesses a high
basketball I.Q … Very competitive, not afraid of the big stage … Jack of all
trades, he can do just about everything on the floor … Has all the necessary tools
to become a point forward in the future and work as a secondary play maker …
Has been exposed to high level competition from a young age and has held his
own … He is a better athlete than most people think … Great ball handler for a
wing … Can create his own shot … He has shown great signs on Pull Up situations
and shooting off the dribble … He already has a very good looking Step Back 3
that helps him punish switches … Attacks closeouts and can go all the way and
finish plays at the rim … Very good in the open floor, either as the ball
handler or filling the lanes as a wing … Elite court vision, he can see angles
that few players his size can … Creative passer … Can play the Pick and Roll at
a very good level as the ball handler, since he can either shoot, drive, or
pass to the rolling big … He can see the weakside while driving to the basket …
Very good in drive and kick situations … Has a good basic post up game which
helps him score against smaller opponents either with brute force or with nice
footwork … He can turn from either shoulder when he is posting up… Has improved
considerably at moving without the ball and is an amazing cutter … Very good
rebounder for his position… Versatile on the defensive end, he can guard from
point guards to light power forwards … Has a nice low stance on defense … Good
lateral quickness combined with his instincts help him stay in front off
perimeter players when he is motivated … He gets in passing lanes and his
active hands help him make steals … Terrific shot blocker for his position,
understands the law of verticality and can make blocks coming from the weakside
…
Weaknesses: Has
a below average wingspan (6-9) for his size … Needs to continue bulking up, but
be careful not to lose his flexibility and mobility … His competitive nature
can get the better of him sometimes and make him lose concentration for a few
plays … He can lose focus from time to time and look a little lethargic on the
floor … Doesn’t have an elite burst which limits him in isolation situations …
He has problems blowing by athletic opponents from a standstill, which makes
him settle for mid-range shots … His below 70% free throw shooting is alarming
for a wing … Needs work in Spot Up and Catch and Shoot situations… He is a
streaky shooter for now, he could go hot or cold at any time … Has
problems creating separation against long, athletic opponents for now … He has
the tendency to change mechanics when opponents are closing out on him on the
perimeter … Extremely right hand dominant when driving to the basket,
which can make him predictable … Left hand needs a lot of work… His lack of
elite athletic tools hurts him when he has to finish at the rim against length
… Has problems finishing through contact and at times even looks like he is
trying to avoid contact altogether … He occasionally gets stuck with the ball
in his hands, dribbling, becoming kind of a ball stopper … If he wants to be a
good creator at an NBA level he must improve at changing speeds and direction …
It would be beneficial for him to add some counters to his post up game …
Decision making still needs some work, as he can try to do things too fast or
too slow at times, which leads to turnovers … His passes can be a little
off sometimes … Assist/turnover ratio should improve … His energy on defense
can be inconsistent … Gets caught up behind screens when he is chasing a
shooter … He might be a step too slow when he is guarding a good athlete on the
perimeter, which could be problematic … Has problems reading screens on the
defensive end in Pick and Roll situations …
Outlook: Deni
Avdija is generally considered the best player of his generation in Europe … He
has been amazing at FIBA’s Youth championships for years … On paper he is the definition
of a new era wing, since he could be a two way force with great offensive skill
set and above average defensive potential … His ability to create for himself
and his teammates is that makes him so unique … If he ends up in the right
environment he has a shot to develop into something special …
Notes: He
is Israeli-Serbian… He is the son of Zufer Avdija, a former basketball player
who was a member of former Yugoslavia national team… He was one of the best
players of U20 Israel team that won the gold medal ot FIBA's European
Championship 2018 at the age of 17 and member of the All-Tournament team … One
year later, in 2019, he lead Israel to a second straight gold medal at FIBA’s
U20 European Championship and was declared the MVP at the age of 18 …
