Draft Profile: Dragan Bender

[ashes]

Dragan Bender

Strengths: Decent scoring in the paint, from midrange, and from beyond the arc. Good playmaking ability. Might get close to a block. Solid rebounder, especially on the offensive end. Decent strength and quickness.

Weaknesses: Defense leaves a bit to be desired. Handles need a bit of work.

Scout's Take: Bender has a lot of teams excited because of his unique profile that reminds teams of past SLN greats combined. With his playmaking, shooting potential and unselfishness at 7'0", Bender has the talent to become a weird but fashionable offensive cog for a good team.

Ratings: Dragan Bender PF 7'0'' 225 19 C+ B- C+ C C+ A

Stipulations: None.

Bender needs to get physically stronger, which should help answer questions as to what position he guards. He’ll have a big adjustment ahead, but his unique set of talents keeps him near the top of this draft nonetheless
