DRAGAN BENDER (GSW)
#35•D. BENDER
F/C • 7’1, 225 lbs; 4th year, Croatia
UNDERDOG
NBA ROLE: OFFENSIVE-MINDED 4/5
A top international prospect in the Class of 2016, Dragan Bender has a new age play style; ELITE size (7'1), can stretch the floor & secure possessions; able to step out and cash treys, while showing flashes of putting the ball on the floor and finishing between the lines; nice transition scorer, changes ends pretty easily for a 7-footer; needs to gain at least 15 pounds of muscle – slender frame, impossible to defend the post if he’s at the 5; maybe not a full-time rim protector but Bender can contribute as a help side shot-blocker – pretty fluid; needs to break out & find his role – future threat w/ the Dubs?
