Igor Kreshhnev

Strengths: The most intriguing aspect about Kreshhnev is his athletic motor...never stops working, always leaps like a pogo stick to alter and block shots, and added to the fact that he's a 7-footer, makes it even more lethal...Very good weakside shotblocker and more than just average at post defense...Never gets winded...For a European having such astonishing athleticism and defensive ability is a surprise...Physical tools, height, wingspan, athleticism are all really down pat...Rapidly developing offensive game...Can finish lobs quite easily...Has developed more range as well...

Weaknesses: Quite a number of areas...Offensive game is still a huge work in progress, mostly scores garbage buckets, those off lobs and around the basket...Not a serviceable shooter as of yet, although that will come in time...Doesn't utilize his wingspan to get too many rebounds; with those tools should ultimately get more...Quite foul prone, he can't stay on the floor for more than 20 minutes on his team...Although he generally plays hard complains a bit too often...Quite raw and should be developed with the idea that he contribute later rather than now...
