Brano Djukanovic

Brano Djukanovic, 6-5, Shooting Guard, Red Star Belgrade, Serbia, 1995

Jonathan Givony

Strengths:
-Excellent form on jump-shot

Weaknesses:
-Frame hasn't improved at all. Body still extremely frail. Hasn't grown
-Struggled to create space to get shot off
-Doesn't get to free throw line (four attempts in eight NIJT games)
-Struggles to defend his position effectively

Outlook: Had a great 2012 NIJT but seems to have stagnated a year later. Didn't shoot ball nearly as well and looks to be largely the same player he was a year ago. Average height and narrow frame could make it difficult for him to emerge at senior if he doesn't improve his versatility.

Jonathan Givony

Strengths:

-Shot 47% from 3 in eight NIJT contests
-Averaged 14 points per game in 23 minutes on excellent percentages
-Quick, effortless shooting mechanics. Near automatic with feet set
-Can pull-up off dribble off pick and roll
-Moves off ball intelligently
-Makes extra pass
-Extremely high basketball IQ for his age
-Just turned 17 years old

Weaknesses:

-Average size
-Average frame
-Average athlete
-Somewhat one-dimensional at times with outside shooting
-Struggles to get to rim and finish
-Only got to free throw line 12 times in 8 games
-Doesn't contribute in many other facets outside of scoring
-Poor defender
-Needs to get stronger, more physical fighting through screens and staying in front of opponents

Outlook:

Knock-down shooter whose upside appears limited somewhat by average physical tools. Still young and has time to grow and fill out. Needs to diversify all-around game to not be labeled a one dimensional player.
