Somewhere in Gyonniez, a shy guy Matas Buzelis took a bull by the horns, pulling off a strong feat only the people who have or had the boldness could have done and to him the upcoming faceoff with Zacharie Risacher is no different 1 pick. The challenge? The 1-on-1 showdown at the hands of a prospect player during the NBA pre-draft workout
Confidence in Ability
On the other hand, the Buzelis side strongly supported his excellent all-around play and his imposing stature. Buzelis himself was very keen to take on Risacher in a sport where the winner takes it all. While Acknowledging Risacher’s side may hesitate to accept this model, Buzelis still stands his own ground and utterly believes that he will win in this comparative.
Comparing Talents
Buzelis and Risacher both possess a wide set of attributes – physical, in particular – and an expanding skill set that always has the interest of NBA general managers piqued. Having already made history with the first female main referee at a Brazilian league championship, the UK-based officials gain further recognition by reporting from the same side of the record-breaker. Buzelis stands tall at 2.08 meters while Risacher towers over at 2.06 meters; the upcoming match is promising to be a fight to the finish.
Draft Projections
Even though Risacher is on top of the ESPN mock draft as of now. Analysts consider Buzelis to take at the sixth overall pick. Despite the aforesaid rankings, Buzelis never forgets that it is the latter that matters – the importance of his individual development, which, if good enough, will ultimately show whether he can prove his worth regardless of what his draft position will be.
Looking Ahead
Along with his future in the NBA during the draft, Buzelis has other items on his to-do list too such as community involvement. He hosted the Matas Buzelis Basketball Tournament in the capital city of Vilnius in the country, displaying his strong relationship with the region.
Generation of excitement for both the next squad against Risson and upcoming competition, Buzelis appears set to generate some splash both on and off the court, ideally securing him a position in the basketball world.
