NBA Comparison: Bonzi Wells

Strengths: One of the best international players born in 1992, and possibly the best prospect of this age… Certainly the best outside players in the group ... Plays like a mini-Carmelo Anthony: the combination of quickness and size (6’6” for 230 lbs) is really amazing, and the talent is equally notable ... His shot and his ability to finish in traffic make him a real scoring machine: in last “Città di Roma Tournament” he score 37.5 points per game, and in European Championship Under 18 he averaged 23.0 ppg (41% 3p fg) ... He is an underrated passer and his maturity makes him ready to play at high level ... His athleticism allows him to defend against guards and small forwards when he feels like it …

Weaknesses: He lacks the eye of the tiger …His body language sometimes is hard to bear, and has gained the reputation of having a bad attitude, but he’s improving ... He lacks consistency during games and often becomes too 3 point happy ... He must improve his confidence at the free throw line where he is strangely inconsistent ...

Notes: Alessandro is the son of Nando Gentile, point guard of Italian national team during the 90s.
