2) Mario Hezonja, SG, FC Barcelona
Probability: 20%
The guy that I think people are sleeping on, both in Philadelphia and nationally, is Mario Hezonja. If Hezonja were feasting on weak college competition rather than trying to fit in on a deep, talented, Barcelona squad playing against grown men in the 2nd most talented basketball league in the world, he’d be a top-5 pick and I don’t think most would call this a 4 person draft.
The intrigue? 6’8”, elite athlete, elite shooter, and can play very good defense.
The concern: attitude, shot selection, inconsistent defense, low free throw rate.
Hezonja’s strengths are virtually unteachable. It’s not just that he’s a great shooter, but that he’s a great shooter stationed in the corner, a huge threat as a shooter coming off of screens, and good at pulling up off the dribble. That gravity score that I talked about with Russell is in play here, as I think Hezonja will have more impact on floor spacing than a guy like Justise Winslow.
And that athleticism opens up a world of potential for Hezonja. As of now it’s mostly realized in transition and off of cuts to the basket off the ball, where he’s a constant threat for lobs at the rim, but it shows up off the dribble at times as well. While Hezonja’s ball handling still needs a little bit of progress to catch up to his athleticism, it’s not terrible, either, and his first step gives indication that creating off the dribble is something he can improve upon down the line.
His weaknesses? Almost all correctable. Or, at the very least, manageable. His defense, when he’s engaged (which usually directly aligns with when he’s involved in the offense), can be very good. His lateral mobility and length are excellent, and Brett Brown would have a ton to work with. His shot selection over the past 12 months has improved, and having played as a role player on a deep Barcelona squad may have helped in this regard, as being the #1 option he almost certainly would have been on a college squad may have resulted in more freedom than he was ready for. His attitude, which ranges from confident to cocky, could be immaturity, or it could be the type of confidence that is a positive attribute if he actually develops into one of the best players on a team.
The biggest question may be his low free throw rate.
Part of this is that he needs to improve his ball handling to really take advantage of his athleticism, and part of this is his shot selection. But I do believe that part of this is situational as well. Barcelona plays a structured offense, and Hezonja’s playing time was, as a young player, in part based on his ability to play within this structure. More freelancing from Hezonja would have likely resulted in more time on the bench.
I believe there’s an immense amount of potential in Hezonja, with a skill set the Sixers desperately need, and the potential to be an impact player on both sides of the court. He also has the physical tools, advanced skill set, and professional experience where he could come over next season and contribute right away.
There would be riots in the streets of Philadelphia if Hinkie selected Hezonja 3rd overall, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it would be a bad decision.
Ovo mi nije jasno , kao da su ga jučer krenuli gledati pa da misle da mu je postotak slobodnih bacanja problem...Jedan od naših najboljih šutera sa linije u mlađim kategorijama poslijednih godina , jedino je možda Mavra bio bolji.Na u16 prvenstvu je bio na 86,5%(32/37) , na u17 svjetskom 90,7%(39/43).
U euroligi ima 75% , ali to nije problem šuta , mehanike ili nečega takvoga da predstavlja problem u tom dijelu , već je Hezonja 19-godišnjak koji igra protiv najboljih klubova u Europi , za vratom mu pušu neki od najboljih igrača(Navarro,Abrines,Thomas,Jackson), pred navijačima i atmosferama gdje se nekom iskusnom igraču od nakon 20 godina zatresu ruke , a gdje neće Hezonji.Nešto takvo mi je uopće smiješno stavljati za problem , a pogotovo kako oni napišu da je to još najupitnije!!
