| Reebok Eurocamp, Day Two
June 8, 2009
Tomas Satoransky may have been the biggest revelation of day two, coming up with some dazzling moves that demonstrated the fact that this 17-year old has absolutely no fear of going up against players four or five years older than him. After looking quite bashful in the first day, Satoransky started off the day in impressive fashion in the morning’s drills, showing impressive ball-handling skills and court vision in transition, and then continuing his strong play in the actual game as well.
Satoransky mixed in a strong first step with excellent footwork and some crafty spin-moves, showing great fluidity and coordination to go along with his terrific size. Although he didn’t always have the strength to finish his moves inside, it was interesting to see how much shake he has to his game already despite his young age. He plays with a real winning spirit, looking highly unselfish, yet still being very active, even if his perimeter shooting needs to improve. If he continues to develop at the same rate, he clearly has a great future ahead of him. At the very least he’s shown that he isn’t ranked as our #1 prospect in the 1991 international class all year long for nothing.

adidas Nations Experience 2008: European Prospects
August 16, 2008
The MVP of the U-18 European Championship, Division B, a few weeks ago, Tomas Satoransky (or Tomas Satoranski) did not disappoint in the least bit with his performance, although he did have to sit out his team’s last game with the flu. Satoransky is a skinny, athletic wing player with excellent size at 6-6, but a pretty poor frame and short arms. He gets off the floor extremely well and can really finish around the rim, but is most notable for his excellent feel for the game, as he sees the floor incredibly well and is an absolutely spectacular passer. He regularly found teammates cutting to the rim with his fantastic court vision, either pushing the ball up the court in transition, or taking the ball to the basket and driving and dishing in the half-court. Despite standing around 6-6, Satoransky plays point guard for his national team, and led the entire U-18 Division B in assists at 6.4 per game.
Satoransky’s jumper is not pretty by any stretch of the imagination, it’s an ugly flat-footed stroke with a one-handed release, but it goes in at a pretty good rate, particularly from mid-range, but sometimes from behind the arc too. This doesn’t appear to be his biggest strength, though, and it’s definitely something he’ll have to work on if he’s to reach his full potential. He wasn’t the most aggressive player here in terms of looking for his own offense in general.
Satoransky is incredibly young, born in late 1991, which makes him just 16 years old still. He needs to grow into his frame and his overall game as well, but he seems to have some nice tools to build off. He apparently has quite a few contract offers on the table from teams in Spain after his showing in the U-18’s, but he’ll be staying in the Czech league with his team Praha for now. We’ll be keeping tabs over the next few years to see how he continues to develop.
