Summary:
Marc Garcia is an athletic, skilled swingman that is currently playing in one of the toughest professional basketball leagues from around the world.
Once considered one of the top international prospects years earlier, Garcia has been plagued with inconsistent play, as he has had his struggles with his jump shot at higher levels.
But recently, he may be turning the corner, as he finally shot the ball well from beyond the arc in the Spanish ACB League during the 2016-17 season, albeit limited minutes. Right now, NBA scouts and teams are looking to see how well he progresses this year, as his ability to shoot and score at the top levels overseas will be crucial for him to solidify a spot to be drafted in 2018.
