Analysis on Dario Saric per ESPN;

"Saric has one of the highest basketball IQs of any prospect and a unique skill set for his size. As a “point power forward,” he is fantastic in the open court. His jump shot needs work and his lack of quickness hurts him defensively, but Saric’s game is so advanced he has a great chance to be a star."
