Dosn't play much which isn't abnormal for young players in the Euroleague. Stats aren't really eye popping.
When watching his highlights though - I really like just how fluid and athletic he looks. A lot of big men often look awkward with their movements, he seems very fluid, looks to have good bounce and good hand eye coordination.
He'll sprint up the court, grab a pass on the move, and gets up quick for his finishes.
Sticks with guards on switches, looks to have great shot blocking instincts.
Again it's more how he looks than anything showing up in the stat sheet. Curious if any Eruoleague watchers have any additional insights on him?
I love the kid,said it couple of times.. he actually played some games a lot, not just European Cup but also ABA league. Those leagues are pretty solid and he just turned 18 few months ago and had to play vs grown man, some hard nosed centers. He was bought by Olimpija to play for junior team, but coach needed only 3 training sessions and he was included to senior team.
He is very mobile, solid skills, very good instincts, high BB IQ, good defender already for his age.. I think he started playing basketball pretty late, few years ago.
Yep. All true.
He’s my guy at 15.
He’s a more explosive Jarret Allen with less offense right now. Kid has a crazy motor, fast jump, and flies up and down the court.
He is the lob threat Giddey needs and the rim protector our defense needs. He has great instincts on D.
Wow, he looks exciting. I love his defense. You can tell he'll come in and pick up tons and tons of fouls as a young guy. He has terrific athleticism and moves so well on defense ... but you can see he's so excited by his athleticism that he will probably be too overreactive on d at the NBA level. That's something you can coach though. I like that he already likes to play the pivot/playmaker too.
And I agree, he seems like he could grow into a great tool for Giddey. I really love potential of Giddey and White being the stars, and putting athletic, up and down the court guys ... you'd have an athletic F in Matas that can play above rim and hit catch and shoot threes ... then another F/G that can cut and move but largely 3P guy [ala Huerter right now] ... then a rim running big that will play above the rim. That's a sweet offense right there.
What a world it would be to bring him in, and convince Noah to come in as a specialist coach haha.
Why isn't he appearing in any mocks? Has he not declared? Is he likely to go into draft, or just some hoping he does?
