Name: Toni Kukoc
Position: SF
Height: 6'10
Weight: 197
Age: 21
Player Page: Toni Kukoc (SF)
Pros: Toni has one of the most unique skillsets in recent history. A great jumper shooter, and an amazing free throw shooter will put this guy in position to be a very capable scorer in the league. He will have a height advantage over every SF he plays against and will be able to easily shoot over the top of defenders. Like many foreign players, Toni handles the ball well and should be a pretty good assist guy from the SF position as well.
Cons: For such a big player, if he had a better inside game he'd be a monster in the league. He's also not as quick as many SFs but I think the rest of his athletics will make up for this shortcoming. He also is very average while defending in the post so he may have some issues there with heftier SF's. My last knock on the guy is that at max he'll still be barely useful on defense due to his potential PRD.
Overall: On a bad team, or rebuilding team I think he'll be a matchup nightmare for some teams. While against some teams he'll be a liability on your defensive team. If he falls to late lotto or right outside of lotto he'd make for a hell of a 6th man against second units but I don't expect him to fall that far.
Projected Pick: 7-9
