Summary:

Max Strus is an athletic, skilled swingman that can shoot the basketball.  He excels at knocking down jumpers to space the floor for his team, and he also can run off screens to make shots.  His shooting ability combined with his athleticism could be enticing to teams, as that could make him a potential second round pick this year.

​However, he has sometimes been criticized for his shot selection and seeming lack of team play, but others seem to feel that it is because he’s had to carry mediocre teams over the past couple of years.  He’ll need to consistently shoot the ball well at higher levels, but if he can, he could perhaps end up being an effective role player in the NBA.
