Zaur Pachulia

The Skinny:


Pachulia is another European that stayed in the draft because he apparently got
a first round guarantee (he entered the draft last year but withdrew). He has
risen through the Turkish basketball ranks and has slowly become a major
contributor for his team. He is likely more of an NBA power forward than a
center, but has nice post moves offensively and is willing to play physical
inside. Like many other European big men, he has a nice touch from mid-range
and knows the art of passing.

Look for a team that’s willing to stash him as a 11th or 12th man while working
on developing him to select Pachulia late in the first round.
