MARIO HEZONJA (POR)
#44•M. HEZONJA
G/F • 6’8, 220 lbs; 6th year, Croatia
UNDERDOG
NBA ROLE: ATHLETIC, SCORING WING/FORWARD
‘Super’ Mario Hezonja: an athletic, 6'8 wing/forward outta Croatia; bold: Mario’s game is dependent on confidence: solid scorer w/ a head of steam off the dribble, charges hard (tries to finish strong); more suitable as a 4? – Mario uses quickness v. mismatches, needs to shoot 3 ball at a better clip for sustainability; fills the lane well on the break, can pull-up or convert at the rim; hot and cold: Hezonja can heat up in a hurry but suffers through shooting slumps – alternates between spot & primary minutes, must stay consistent; passing & attention to detail defensively are a couple of weaknesses; niche as a bucket-getter in Memphis?
