BREAKING: Miami lands 6-foot-5 point guard Noam Dovrat

Based off some videos I've seen of him, we may have found our shooter. He looks like a combo guard that can play on the ball or on the wing. He seems adept in the pick & roll game who won't hesitate to bury defenders who go under on the P&R screens. Need him to be a shot-maker, not a shot-taker though. He's got a ton of experience at 23 years old. I anticipate he'll crack the rotation to play good minutes. Can't imagine him coming to America. to sit the pine.
You can tell by his style of play he’s played a lot of bball. Very much under control playing at his own pace. I agree with the Pnr, he looks most comfortable with the high screen and playing off it . He’ll definitely be in the rotation. He’s the only guy that brings his skill set to the guards. Being a veteran helps too. The tourney is about veteran guard play.

Malovec to me may have the highest upside as a pure shooter on the roster. I understand he played in the second division of Serbian basketball but 37% from three (granted on 3 attempts per game) 55% from 2 and 84% from the line are good predictive metrics on how he may fare in the college game.

What I like overall is that we're bringing in guys who either have played a ton of college games or have overseas pro experience against fairly strong competition.
 
Best guess is we start the year with a rotation that looks like this:

Donaldson/Dante Allen
Washington/Dovrat
Henderson/Marcus Allen
Reneau/Malovec
Udeh/Altuntas

In a perfect world/once they adjust to the college, we stagger Reneau and Udeh and shift Malovec up to play small ball 4. Then have Dovrat as the starting 2 and Washington in the 6th man role. Much more positional versatility and floor spacing with a group like that.
You think Lucas will use a 10 man rotation? This isn't Duke. My guess is a 7 man rotation, maybe 8 max as we start the ACC schedule.
 
A projection of where we start the season. I'm not used to having a roster with 13 scholarship players:

Starters
Donaldson
Washington
Henderson
Reneau
Udeh

Bench
Dante Allen
Marcus Allen
Malovec
Dovrat
Altunas

Deep bench/redshirt candidates
Kee
Laboy
Maddox

Not comparing him to Luka but there’s some of the same qualities to his skill set. Like Luka he plays at his own pace , doesn’t get sped up. Uses his body on offense to feel defenders especially on the drive , creates contact. He’ll definitely be able to handle the physicality with his body type. Shoots pretty well off the dribble and spotting up. I like the addition. He brings something different to the team.
When i first saw the tape, first comp that came to mind was Goran Dragic, for most of the same reasons you just listed.
 
Not sure what to make of this guy. Anyone seen or have a good scouting report on him?
