Pros: Another late entry in the draft pool this year, Zoran Slavnic comes into the draft filling a very specific need that the league has been asking for...the always necessary 3-point shooting point guard. Most of the options coming out recently have been slashers, or worse, non-shooters, but Slavnic comes into the draft ready to pass and shoot the three from day one. With some time, Zoran looks to be a deadly 3 point shooter with stellar passing who plays solid perimeter defense.

Cons: Slavnic looks fairly decent as a long-term prospect, but he comes into the draft pretty raw, with weak defense holding him back. While many prospects are raw at the beginning, Slavnic is already 23 years old and is one of the older entrants in the draft, meaning he has less time to develop and produce for a team than other draftees. Throw in the fact that he is only 5'11", and it is easy to see why some teams may be shying away from Zoran on draft day.

Overall: Zoran Slavnic is a tough prediction to make from a pick standpoint. While he could potentially be an extremely useful player in the league, both offensively and defensively, he is still a raw older prospect with size issues. Teams looking to win now won't have a need for him and teams trying to build for the future may want younger options...it is hard to see how far Slavnic will fall before his name will finally get called.

Projection: #10-#16

Pros: Zoran has great shot, right now he isn't a slouch for a rookie and can score. He has the potential to be an option for a team and should have a great 3 pointer. Slavnic has great ball handling skills and can make unbelievable passes. He has the skill-level to be an elite passer for a pg. His defensive game needs work, but he has the potential to be a good defender and create turnovers. Zoran has a lot of speed and can really jump. He has the stamina to play big minutes.

Cons: Zoran can't score inside, which isn't a huge issue for a guard. The biggest question would can he develop as a defender. It could end up being the difference between him being elite, starter, or even a role player. This is a guy that should be a good starter, but if he busts on defence it is going to hurt him.

Overall: This is a guy with a ton of potential that is going under the radar. I think he could become the best point guard in draft. He has all the tools you want in a point guard, especially for a team in a rebuild this guy is a low cost pick who could turn out really well

Pick Projection: 12-20
