NBA Comparison: Jason Williams
Strengths: Has phenominal quickness, enough to play in NBA, but not right now. He must wait at least 2 or 3 years, improving his offense, and if when he becomes a dominant PG in Europe, then go to the NBA. Has good basketball IQ. His defense is improving this year, which is very important to his potential for going to the NBA. He has the best vision, driving, and passing skills in the Spanish League. He isn´t a scorer but can shoot 3 pt with very good range, his especiality is shooting unexpectedly, his kind of play is similar to Jason Williams, but more patient and less craziness. Not many young players in Europe are better than him. This season hasn´t been good for him. First he plays on the same team as A.Djorjevic, a superstar here in Europe, thus it is a learning season for Raul, but he often shows the great player he is.
His lack of size does hurt him some, especially defensively. Must get stronger and better defensively. Ciontinue to develop.
