Write Up
     Rodions Kurucs has moved up the rankings within the Barcelona system and has produced some decent numbers this past season.  He is a long and fluid athlete who has the ability to put the ball on the floor and shoot it from outside.  He may be able to play some point forward in the NBA, but at the very least he has the size and coordination to play both SG and SF positions.  Kurucs could be a draft and stash player or a rookie role player, but either way he is going to need some development.  He lacks strength and elite athleticism which will likely make him a defensive liability in the NBA.  His offensive polish needs some work along with his feel for the game and rebounding.  Overall Kurucs has some NBA level skills, but he's young and needs development.
