Analysis:
Vesely is essentially everything great about a European prospect mixed with an American game. Last year everyone fell in love with his ability to bang in the paint and rebound as well as shoot the outside shot. At one point he looked like a lock as a Top 10 pick, instead, Vesely decided to return to Europe. Now the NBA teams know his name and can look to see if he was able to add strength and a low-post move (or two) to his game. If Vesely did that then he should be a Top 5 pick this coming draft.
