Overall shooting prowess

Hezonja comes billed a a lights-out shooter with unquestionably the range to hit the NBA three. Justise Winslow’s jumper improved as the NCAA season progressed, but the 39 percent mark he displayed was misleading. Winslow attempted mostly shots right at the college line, whereas Hezonja teed up from far beyond the arc with regularity.

At worst, it can be said Hezonja simply has betting shooting range. At best, he is coming off screens like Petrovic and nailing triples. Hezonja has the athleticism that is required for defenses to respect his jumper.

Advantage: Hezonja
