Sofoklis Schortsanitis

The Skinny:


Schortsanitis is one of two players (Darko Milicic being the other) that the
NBA changed its ruling to allow into the draft. Known as “Baby Shaq” in his
native Greece, Schortsanitis is obviously a load in the paint and uses his size
to his advantage. Unlike Shaq, Schortsanitis only measures 6-9, so can that
size translate to the NBA? He is a powerful rebounder and the strength is
there, and the fact he just turned 18 will have many teams convinced they can
develop him into something special.

Schortsanitis has had some good individual workouts that seem to lock him into
the first round. He’s likely going to get picked in the mid to late stages of
the round.
