Lovro Mazalin (1997, 6’8”, SF, Cibona Zagreb, Croatia)
Crafty point forward with amazing basketball IQ and game comprehension. He has a good structure with a well developed body. He shows average explosiveness and leaping ability, but could definitely be considered a solid athlete. He’s a scorer, with a great variety of offensive solutions (attacking the basket, catch and shoot, midrange jump shot), plus he has a smooth shot and perfect mechanics. Despite being effective from the scoring standpoint, he also has great passing instincts and court vision, combined with a wise shot selection. His quick first step starting off the dribble allows him to beat other forwards at this age, making him a difficult match up. In order to develop his potential as a NBA prospect, he should work on his body and on lateral speed on the defensive side.
