NBA Comparison: N/A

Nico Van den Bogaerd – 11/15/2007

Strengths: Savas has a very big upper body to throw in the battle at center … If he continues working on his arm and leg strength, it will assure him a great physical asset … Has a good rhythm on his shot (16ft range) with an ok shotspeed. However doesnt have enough confidence in it to form any type of outside threat at the moment … He adds to that ok hands, decent mobility and good pick setting ability … His intensity level is acceptable too, and if he would give it a bit more desire and concentration, defensively and rebounding he can also be a factor there.

Weaknesses: Quite limited offensively in the low post, he should really try to improve his poor left hand to give him more versatility … Also athletically hes average, as is his general speed, agility and footspeed … All compared his balance and passing skills are somewhat better, but do need improvement.

Outlook: Probably doesnt have enough basketball intelligence to develop his game and make it to the NBA level. However should be able to stick around at Euroleague level for 10 years of quality basketball.

Scouted: 23/11/2006 & 01/11/2007 FC Barcelona-Fenerbahce lker Istanbul (both dates same match up)
