(2014) C Dusan Ristic [Arizona Commit]
- Thread starter Mavric
- Start date
Same prep school as 2015 Husker commit Keanu Pinder and played on the same Serbian club team as current Husker Sergej Vucetic.
Former Husker Aleks Maric - also a Serb - has been talking to him as well.
Scheduled to OV to Arizona (his favorite) this weekend. If he doesn't commit to UA, he'll likely visit here for the Wisconsin game.

The question is whether he like Alek or Sergej?

I am a bit nervous because of how Vucetic has worked out.
We dont need a big who can stretch the floor, we need a strong guy down low who can move people around.

Strengths:
-Has very good size at 6-11, possibly 7-0, with extremely long arms
-Improved frame
-High basketball IQ and excellent skill-level for a big man
-Can score with his back to the basket. Decent footwork and nice range on jump-hook
-Finishes with both hands around the rim
-Can make a mid-range jumper
-Good passer
-Presence inside the paint defensively thanks to long wingspan
-Terrific rebounder at this level of competition (14.1 per-40 at NIJT)
Weaknesses:
-Below average athlete. Lacks quickness and explosiveness in a serious way
-Poor open floor speed
-Struggles to finish around the rim in traffic due to limited leaping ability. Rarely dunks the ball
-Effort level can be questionable at times. Not a fiery or intense personality. Lets smaller players take loose balls right out of his hands at times
-Lacks toughness inside the paint. Doesn't seem to love contact
-57% FT% at NIJT. 42% in Serbian league
-Doesn't always show up in the big games
Outlook:One of the best prospects in his age group in Europe. Big man with superb length and a very high skill-level. Has done a good job adding weight to his once-skinny frame. A relatively poor athlete who may struggle to translate his dominance at the junior level versus men. Disappeared once again when his team needed him most in a crucial game (last year versus Rytas, this year versus Joventut). Still early in his development, but will likely need to improve toughness to overcome his average athleticism and become a legitimate NBA big man.

I don't get this. They said he has good size and IQ, but he is a below average athlete with no explosion and poor floor speed.

He's big and smart but slow and un-athletic. Plus just about any 7 footer is projected to be a first rounder these days.
Tough to know without watching him play but the Gasol brothers aren't overly athletic and it's working out OK for them.

If he is on the team for one year and then goes in the first round, yeah he probably helps the team. If Arizona wants him NU should want him.

Is anyone else thinking this might just be Jorge Brian Diaz with some lifts in his shoes and wearing a frying pan or something(to add the weight)
Sounds like he is going to Arizona if Kaleb Tarczewski opts to go to the NBA. They might be able to find a spot for him anyway but that would be the spot. He didn't seem to commit while he was there this weekend.
