Is Mario Hezonja really that good?

He doesn't handle the ball well. U think he will struggle to get his own shot in the league

Jimmy put up 20+ PPG with no handle.

I'll leave this here while we at it

Didn't know he grew to 6'8.. Thought he was still 2-guardish height. Stopped paying attention a few years ago. Maybe he can pick up enough weight to be a 3.

I think he'll be a good ballplayer but I don't think he's All-NBA potential, which apparently is how he's talking.

There's talk that he may be 6'9" now (He's listed at 6'8") , dude next to him is a 6'10" PF.

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 -




you picked the right comparison for me, because I love Galinari's game, just wish he would attack the basket more. From what I just watched (about 10 vids, first time seeing him) he looks very aggressive. I have never seen a skilled and aggressive wing fail in the NBA. I want to see him in action against league athletes
