Jonathan Givony
Strengths:
-Intelligent role-player
-Reliable shooter with feet set.
-88% career free throw shooter in FIBA competition
-Competitive on defense. Takes charges. Gets in passing lanes.
-Team player. Makes extra pass. Finds open man. Enters ball into post.
-Aggressive in transition. Finds ways to get to free throw line
Weaknesses:
-Has average size for a shooting guard at around 6-5
-Not exceptionally athletic
-Shoots ball with a low release point, in front of face. Easy to contest if scouted
-Struggles to create own shot. Average ball-handler. Was just 5/18 from 2-point range in 198 minutes at the U19s.
-Strictly a catch and shoot jump-shooter. Doesn't have any real mid-range game
Outlook: Fundamentally sound SG who was a solid role-player for France. Very mature for his age. A year younger than competition, but already playing his third consecutive summer for French national team. Doesn't have the same upside you typically associate with French prospects, but could develop into an interesting 3'n'D candidate if he continues to grow.
