Reebok Euro Big Man Camp
Damjan Rudez
(6-10, 199 pounds, 7-0 ½ wingspan, 1986)
Very far from having an NBA body, but showed the whole package as far as offensive skills, being extremely effective in the games while moving well without the ball, hitting all the important shots and showing unexpected solidity on defense against Veremeenko. He looks shorter than the 6-10 he's been measured, but if his body develops enough (he'll turn 18 in a few days) he'll likely be a NBA player in the future.
Drago Pasalic
(6-10 ¾, 236 pounds, 1984)
A very solid player, does everything well enough. He can play in the post, handle the ball, has good range, and was effective on defense. The downside is that he probably does nothing well enough to be a first rounder. He declared himself elegible for this year's draft.
Aleksandar Ugrinoski
( 6-4, 166 pounds, 198
A few months shy from being the youngest player in the camp, he showed a lot of self confidence and poise at the same time. Very good at running a team at this level, excellent in the open court. You just have to look at him to understand that he's just a kid, but remember his name because it will likely come back again down the road.
Roko Leni Ukic
Roko Leni Ukic
(6-5, 183 pounds, 1984)
Probably the player who had the biggest impact on the floor. At 6-5 he has great size and very good ball-handling for the point guard position. He has very quick feet and hands, reminiscent a little of Ginobili as far as the way he reacts to what's happening on the floor, he has good court awareness and the mental and physical tools to go along with that. His 6-7 ½ wingspan makes him a threat defensively in the passing lanes. He's very aggressive on defense, something that has to be corrected a bit because he gambles a lot as many of those guys do. He showed the ability to contain the penetration of smaller players very well, something that he didn't always have, which is great as far as his NBA potential is concerned.
He's a very good athlete, although he does need to become stronger, but he has yet to turn twenty and his body looks far from mature. He's really great leading the fast break, but he's not always patient enough in the half court game. He forced several situations by over-penetrating, running into brick walls, and he was caught getting up in the air a couple of times without having decided what to do yet.
Because of plays like that he ended up with too many turnovers, a problem that needs to and probably will be cut down with more experience and maturity. Ukic is very creative off the dribble, he can find the open man while slashing both on the perimeter and with a close pass; he'll likely be able to beat his man off the dribble even in the NBA.
According to scouts, he's probably going to be drafted somewhere in the second half of the first round, with how close to the middle depending on his individual workouts. Since he hasn't been paid by his team for several months now, he's free to opt out of his contract at any time.
