NBA Comparison: Zoran Planinic

Strengths: Certainly one of the most complete guards of the young generation in Europe ... Born in 1991and appears ready for the 2012 NBA Draft after two years in Liga ACB (Spanish League) ... Tomas is a point guard with great size, excellent vision and ability to pass the ball ... Physically strong, allowing him to easily finish near the rim ... He is a good spot-up shooter, with range out to the three point line ... Shooting is not his first offensive option, but in the last Eurocup season he averaged 43% from the distance ... He's a smooth player with a quick first step and a strong ability to finish in traffic ... He also possesses standout athletic ability by European standards (he's a spectacular dunker!) ... He has a winning spirit, and always competes hard ... He is also a good defensive player because of his desire, athleticism and the versatility to defend multiple positions ...

Weaknesses: One-on-one game needs improvement for the NBA ... Lacks an in-between game, his shot off the dribble is not very solid ... In general he’s not very good to create own shot ... Despite his strong body is not a good rebounder ... Plays the PG position but may need to transition over the the 2 position for the NBA ... Needs to become a little more assertive, (vocal leadership) particularly if he wants to play PG ...

Notes: in 2010 he won the Liga ACB Slam Dunk Contest with an incredible show ... Has the talent to get consideration for the end of first round ... At the 2011 adidas Eurocamp, Satoransky measured: height: 6'5", height w/shoes: 6'6", standing reach: 8'4", weight: 207 lbs, body fat: 5.27, wingspan: 6'7", 3/4 court sprint 3"17, vertical jump: 1'9", vertical jump free: 3'0"
