Dimitrios Moraitis

Strengths
-Excellent feel for the game. Plays like a vet. Doesn't get rattled. Big-time swagger.
-Leader. Vocal. Runs the show.
-Moves the ball ahead in transition. Good pick and roll playmaker. Can make pocket passes or find shooters.
-Changes speeds and direction. Can create his own shot. Crafty ball handler.
-Aggressive going to the rim both in transition and the half court. Solid finisher. Doesn't shy away from contact. Decent body for his age.
-Smooth catch and shoot jumper. Ball comes out of his hand nicely. Not quite knockdown yet but shows great potential.
Weaknesses
-Average athlete. Has decent burst but isn't going to finish above the rim.
-Defensive potential is a bit limited given his lack of length and elite athleticism. Hunched over in his stance. Average effort on D.
-Good not great shooter at this stage. Not super comfortable pulling up off the dribble.
-Average size.
Outlook Moraitis was head and shoulders ahead of the other international guards, in large part due to his experience playing for Panionios at age 16. Moraitis may not have huge upside given his average physical tools but he makes up for it with his outstanding feel for the game, potential as a shooter and savvy that's well beyond his years. He would be a major prospect for colleges if he elected to go that route.
