Is Mario Hezonja really that good?

I gotta agree with @Coney Island ...judging off that video, he has decent athleticism, but trash handles.

 

[Rawster]

He's not some unknown breh, he and your boy Dario have been known for 5-6 years now -







This kid has been scouted since he was 15, if he fails it's really on him.

They said the same about Rubio. I don't trust euro guards until I see them against the best the USA (Africans) has to offer.

Rubio is 6'4" and can't shoot, Hezonja is supposedly 6'9" (listed at 6'8") and is a knock down shooter. People talking about his "trash handles" aren't paying attention to the draft, because the other lottery wings like Johnson, Winslow and Oubre don't have great handles, you can even make the case for Hezonja having a better handle than Oubre and Winslow.

I wouldn't trust Hezonja if he was some flash in the pan that came out of nowhere, but he's been on the NBA radar for awhile, basically people are saying Gallinari but more athletic -

Remember Rubio was a pro since 14

In his last season in Europe, he averaged like 8 and 3

Stats are irrelevant when dealing wit euros

You're gonna use rubio as an example when he's fukking idiot

you're gonna use a gif of him basically dribbling out of bounds in the last few seconds of a decided game to prove your're point about handles? I just don't see why people are hyping him up when they haven't seen him play (and he barely plays or puts up numbers anyway). And winslow has very solid north/south handles/change of direction, especially when he gets a board and goes coast to coast. His handles are pretty much equivalent to oubre, and johnson is the worst out of the 4 in my opinion.

Then I post a video of him doing something athletic.

His numbers come in 16mpg, and Oubre, Winslow and Johnson all have "trash handles" by definition, none of them are great at creating off the dribble in the half court, that is the point. You say Winslow is good north south, but he did that while playing PF for Duke, none of these wing guys have exceptional handles.

First white boy Ive ever seen windmill

 

[Primetime21]

i just watched this whole video

no

his handles trash, he not getting his shot off in the NBA unless off the catch, he not that athletic, nothing he does is elite or says he can be elite

he wouldn't even be the man on some of the top AAU teams

 

[Hammer]

i have no idea why he's not going top 5 dude is a beast

 

[WOAHMYGOODNESS]

I trust and value @Malta opinion on bigs and foreign players as much if not more then some nba scouts

Id draft mario for the simple fact he reminds me of a danilo galinari mized with rudy fernandez with kobes attitude

Stan van gundy would turn him in to a threat

:svgwhoa:











































:blessedgundy2:

This draft is gonna be

So many teams are gonna take the wrong player

Pistons better take WINSLOW if he's there

Dudes are acting like Hedo had a nasty handle and we saw how SVG had him looking, all that high PnR that Hezonja runs got SVG praying he falls to them.
