James Holden Open-floor scoring/finishing
Dangerous in transition with long strides, coordination and the ability to get right above the rim, Buzelis is also tough in the half court while attacking in space. His handle can be effective when he's not tightly pressured, and he demonstrates advanced footwork off the dribble for getting to spots. At his height, he typically has a finishing advantage on the move when guarded by wings.
The percentages make it difficult to call Buzelis a shooter, but he's capable of hitting jump shots in a variety of ways. Pull-ups, step-backs, post fallaways and runners are all in his bag. Off the ball, he's a threat from the three-point wings and corners. Consistent execution will take his scoring to a newer, higher level.
Buzelis wound up putting together an impressive defensive highlight reel, mostly of on-ball sequences sliding his feet and blocking shots. He has the potential to be a difficult one-on-one cover to get clean shots off against.
