NBA Comparison: N/A

Nico Van den Bogaerd – 12/13/2007

Strengths: Keselj is on loan from Girona (ACB, Spain) to Germanys Köln 99ers, has a long and lean body frame, quite thin legs and steadily improving arm strength Definitely has good size for a small forward, standing tall at 6′10″. A decent athlete with good mobility and speed, offering good intensity on both ends of the court Also not afraid to take initiative offensively He does not shy away from physical contact, which you can notice in his quite fearless penetrations, good rebounding (goes for offensive boards) and hustling Relaxed and confident player with good work ethics and attitude on and off the court. Enjoys a decent court awareness in general, filling up the spots, knowing when to cut and also in help side positioning correctly Not a bad shooter at all, enjoying a nice stroke with 3 pt range, but still missing consistency. Ball handling is okay, able to bring the ball up if necessary.

Weaknesses: Creating his own shots off the dribble however isnt one of his strong points, which is also affected by a slow shooting release His passing is okay, but no more than that Defensively his average lateral movement and foot speed dont allow him right now to be a good 1 on 1 defender, especially against quick 3 guys

Outlook: If he can become a consistent long range shooter, improve somewhat his lateral movement, as well as continue becoming stronger, Keselj could be able to offer something to Euroleague teams in the near future.
