Nick Zakelj Scouting Report
POSITIVES
Generates jarring torque with his inside hand to influence and knock defenders off balance and upfield on hinge blocks.
Has the foot quickness and dexterity to mirror, stay light on his hands and reset up the arc.
NEGATIVES
Uneven weight distribution results in leaning, getting off balance and falling off too many blocks.
— Consistently falls for stutters and hesitations, biting hard inside or out to provide easy access to his edges.
