Jonathan GivonyStrengths:-Good size for a point guard at 6-2 or maybe 6-3
-Good quickness. Solid first step
-Very effective in transition
-Can create his own shot in the half-court. Drives left or right. Solid ball-handler.
-Finishes well around the basket
-Good pick and roll potential
-Can make shots with his feet set. 44% 3-point shooter in Belgrade. 90% FT%
-Puts solid pressure on the ball defensively. Good lateral quickness
Weaknesses:-Doesn't have a great frame
-Wingspan is average
-Played both guard spots for his team, relied on more for scoring than distribution
-Needs to improve his left hand for finishes
-Only 4/9 from beyond the arc at the tournament, is his outside shot for real? He struggled badly from beyond the arc, and even the free throw line, at the national team level in the past.
Outlook: Speedy scoring point guard who had a very nice tournament in Belgrade. Someone to keep an eye on as he makes the transition to the senior level to see how his tools translate.
