Strengths:
Djurisic is a versatile big man who can impact the game in a variety of ways. He is a rugged big man with a strong body and willingness to play through contact, but also possesses an inside out skill set, good feel for the game, and crafty instincts inside the paint. He scores with both hands around the rim, is a capable low post scorer, can stretch opposing defenses to the arc, and handle the ball in the open court. He doesn’t mind banging on the block, has a good nose for the ball, goes hard to the glass on both ends, and is a well schooled team defender. Weaknesses:
While Djurisic is a little more mobile laterally than he looks he isn’t an exceptional athlete vertically and so can run into match-up problems against bouncier and more explosive big men, especially when he can’t match their size or length. Offensively, he is a bit of a jack of all trades but master of none as he doesn’t have any one overwhelming weapon that consistently allows him to create his own shot. Bottom Line:
Djurisic is solid in all aspects of his game and his biggest strength is his ability to do so many little things to help his team win games without having to score in high volume to make an impact. He projects as a solid role player at the high-major level or an impact player at the mid-major level.NotesNative of Podgorica, Montenegro…Fairfield, Stony Brook, St. John’s, Georgia, Rhode Island and Charlotte are also involved…

This would be a huge get, the dude sounds like a damn Dirk Nowiski!
Two schools that he visited fired their coaches in NC State and Utah. Probably still a heavy lean to Arizona St but probably a lot more in play this spring. Sounds like the big guys like Texas and Minnesota are moving in though.
