NBA ROLE: VERSATILE SHOT CREATOR

Tomas Satoransky can play...drafted 32nd* back in 2012, Sato's emerged as a threat in the Association, runs the show well; 6’7 playmaker w/ a nice shot and natural, basketball instincts – basically, Tomas knows where he wants/has to go, will get there (despite your best defensive effort) and make a play for himself (or others); smart distributor, patient after receiving ball screens, knows how/when to hit teammates; good penetrator, uses size to get deep in the paint before dishing out to shooters; best when okaying aggressively: Sato should attack the basket a bit more & draw contact; spaces the floor well, volume should rise; re-acquired by Wiz (2022) – a familiar face, Sato factors in as a versatile 1-3 off the bech

*#30 to #31 (and beyond) in the draft is the diff. between a guaranteed salary & a non-guaranteed one – Tomas had ‘guaranteed talent’ & upside even way back then but he (obviously) took a couple years to come over
