Njegos Sikiras 6-8 PF, Stella Azzurra Roma Bosnia and Herzegovina, 1999
Strengths
-Strong frame
-Very active. Sometimes out of control but plays hard. Finds the ball. Good offensive rebounder.
-Capable shooter with range out to three. Shoots too many off-balance, flat jumpers but shows promise.
-Good footwork. Can play with his back to the basket. Very good scoring instincts overall.
-Competitor
Weaknesses
-Not a great athlete.
-Strong frame but isn't overly long or defined.
-Out of control. Can be a bit of a black hole. Needs to slow down at times. Feel for the game and decision making isn't great.
-Shoots fadeaways when he doesn't need to. Shoots it flat. Pulls his head back on his jumper. Not a consistent shooter.
-Doesn't have great defensive potential given his average athleticism and length.
Outlook Sikiras was up and down all week but turned in an MVP performance in the game, knocking down threes, making jumpers out of the post, and finishing inside, oftentimes off of offensive rebounds. Sikira can do a better job of playing under control but he's fun to watch and really knows how to score. It will be interesting to see how he progresses.
