Jan Vesely

[Jimmy Chitwood]

if any of you gentlemen have the ability to follow overseas basketball, please keep an eye on Jan Vesely. he's a very athetic, 6-11 small forward who is being compared to Blake Griffin in how explosive and exciting his dunks are. otherwise, the only other thing that compares the two is how raw they are (both rely on their athletic ability to make plays and are still works-in-progress with the skill aspects of the game).

the 20-year old Vesely is a long-armed, slender,small forward (compared to Griffin playing in the post). here is the latest profile from NBA Draft Express, with an excerpt quoted below.

It's not every day that you see a player passing up the chance to be a top 10 pick. That's exactly what Jan Vesely decided to do last April, though, just a few days before playing one of the best games of his young career, at the Euroleague Final Four in Paris.
