Adam Waczynski from Prokom Trefl suffered a broken nose on last day of the tournament. Before that the 6-6 SG/SF showed that he can be a team leader and team motivator. Waczynski has strong legs and long arms, which along with his good footwork helped him get plenty of steals. He wasnt afraid to take responsibility in the crunch time and was looking to make big shots and big plays. Adam is an average athlete in terms of quickness, as well as leaping ability and other physical attributes, but he displayed good ball-handling skills driving either left or right. He has good technique on his jumper as well.
A lack of athleticism will stop Waczynski from being a serious NBA prospect in the short or long term, but he has a chance to be a very good player at the European level. To achieve it, he, as well as his Prokom Trefl club have to show that Polish teams can develop players from the junior to senior competitions, which for now is a very weak part of the Polish coaching and developing system.
