For the more expert analysts on the board, how good do you think Petrusev can become? I’m very impressed and think he might become special.

Feel free to ignore my thoughts. I’m not an expert analyst by any means. I’m a little giddy after seeing such an improvement in the defense against some pretty good Texas Southern players, especially that sky scraping Reed.Bonjour tristesse.

Has a ways to go. Looks like a skilled true freshman.
Shown nice footwork, smart positioning on offense, poor positioning on defense, yet a beautiful looking shot.
Has not shown ability to draw fouls, use his body on put backs, lacks strength, and pretty weak hands (swiped or blocked too easily).
I like his motor, shot selection, footwork, and ability to burn minutes. Must improve strength, not necessarily size, as his hands aren't very strong with the ball.
He has been fooled on defense several times both games, but I see upside, skill, and coachable. He will be a classic/vintage GU post of old.Last edited by raise the zag; 11-11-2018, 05:53 AM.

I think he looks solid enough that the coaches can improve many of his areas quickly. I think by practicing against players like Clark, Tillie, Rui and the rest will bring him on quicker. He has a nice shot out past the 3, has nice footwork, moves well in the key. And also shots with either hand in the kwy

Zags have some nice players competing against the starters in practice: Jones, Petrusev, Ayayi, Foster offer some good size and athleticism for the key rotation guys to compete against in drills and scrimmages. Having these level players on the squad upping the overall level of competition has a LOT to do with the team’s extraordinary success the past few seasons especially.Even though I care a lot about my basketball opinions, they are like comparing a bicycle to a championship motorcycle who is our coach. .

Originally posted by Bogozags View PostTyra, I see him becoming much more relaxed on the court and playing defence. I think the sky is the limit for him. He, like Sabonis, has excellent foot work and can shoot the three, which Sabonis didn't do well at all his freshman season. He will improve his defence each game. He has a deft touch around the basket so he will be difficult to defend. I think he needs to work on his picks as it appears he releases a bit too early. His rebounding will also improve with the more games he plays. I think he just needs to adjust to the physical aspects of the College game, just as Sabonis had too! The European game is much less physical and more technique oriented. I think the sky is the limit for him and if he continues to improve this season, then he might be tempted to leave after this year; however, being a gambler I would think he stays for two years, which would allow him to add bulk he would need to the next level.
