Carlos CAZORLA
CAZORLA, Carlos
STRENGTHS: A player of intangibles. Lefty, he has good size. Possesses the step of a triple jumper. He can play either as a 2, his natural position, or as a point-guard. He can help to build the plays and face the defensive pressure. Clever, he has a good dribbling skills. He works for his teammates and passes the ball well. His main strength is the defense where he can guard smaller or bigger players. A tough guy with competitive spirit. CAREER: He learned his basketball in Tau but in Vitoria he had little impact. He made a name for himself in Fuenlabrada where he played four excellent seasons, irrespective of his numbers, which will never tell his real value. Had his career high (8.5ppg, 5.3rpg) in 2001-02, and then moved to Sevilla where he did Ok but without totally convincing. Limited to a fringe role in the lower teams of the ACB before moving to the LEB in 2008-09, helping Alicante to gain promotion. EVALUATION: A valuable player. A sticky defender who fits in well in a disciplined scheme thanks to his excellent mentality and his technique. He has not improved since he arrived in Sevilla and has had a few average seasons. His level has dropped and it’s difficult to say if he has lost quality or if he just needed a new challenge. He had one with the promotion in 2009 but he neither shine nor had much court time.
