2011 NBA Draft Scouting Report: Jan Vesely
Position: Power Forward
Size: 6-11, 240
School: Czech Republic, 1990
Strengths:
Weaknesses:
Summary: Jan Vesely chose not to enter the 2010 NBA Draft despite being a likely lottery selection. That decision has seemingly paid off as he has made a major impact overseas against some of the better competition in Europe. His versatility and athleticism for a 6-11 player is incredibly appealing to NBA scouts, and as his body develops, he should only become more dangerous in his all-around game. It is because of that he is being projected as a possible top-five pick.
Player Comparison: Andrei Kirilenko. Vesely has a long way to go in becoming the defensive player that AK47 has been in the NBA, but their length and athleticism are very similar. Both players make an offensive impact at the rim and have been inconsistent outside shooters, but Vesely has shown growth his his all-around offensive game. Kirilenko can play either forward spot in the NBA and Vesely should be able to as well.
