very gifted athletically, he is an amazing rebounder for his size and a pretty good defender. average passer, can't shoot
good first step, goes to the basket but often can't finish; he lacks in touch
definitely not the greatest worker ever, IMO coach brown won't like him
he'll be playing in detroit or another nba team next year, 99%
P.S. he is reported 21 years old, but GOSSIP it seems he is a bit older, 24 or 25, in argentina the register of births is not particularly reliable

He will be playing for the pistons next year for sure. I am suprised to hear he is not a good shooter I thought he was. Also I expect him to play sg.

Looking at his profile on NBAdraft.net he seems to be a streaky shooter...

Quote:

Strengths: An excellent individual defender and great rebounder for a guard. He has good size for an NBA shooting guard a naturally well built physique that the NBA demands. Capable of shooting the 3 from NBA range. Handles the ball and sees the floor well. He is capable of playing minutes at point guard. A good but not spectacular athlete, he has a chance to earn playing time in the NBA because he relishes physical play and likes to play defense.

Weaknesses: He is a very streaky shooter and scouts have observed that he needs a quicker release on his jumper to get it off in the NBA. He plays very hard, but he must improve his concentration and be more consistent. He’s capable of going 6/6 or 0/6 from the 3 point line and sometimes becomes passive on offense. His stock in the 2003 draft was hurt when he badly sprained his left ankle in late March and scouts were unable to see him for nearly two months.

His coach at Fortitudo, Jasmin Repesa, who coached Gordan Giricek, Mehmet Okur and Dalibor Bagaric before they went to the NBA, says, “Carlos has a very good chance to be a good player for an NBA team. Nobody knows if he’ll be a star there, of course, but he has the talent, size and strength.
