Goran Dragić (born May 6, 1986 in Ljubljana, SR Slovenia, SFR Yugoslavia) is a professional basketball player. He is 6 ft 4 in (1.93 m) in height and he weighs 190 lb (86 kg; 14 st). He plays at both the point guard and shooting guard positions. He signed with the Phoenix Suns of the NBA on September 22, 2008.
Now, if I were a team planning for the Suns, I would pressure him 3/4 court with my quickest defender the moment he got on the floor. I would throw hard double teams at him after any screen and try to get him as flustered as possible as quickly as possible. You saw in last night's game, the one time the Jazz threw a hard double team at him (I believe it was either late in the 3rd or early in the 4th quarter about 30 feet out on the left side of the court) he got incredibly flustered to the point where he was staring down Ronnie Brewer (honestly, what was his plan with that?) when the play ended. Again, so far it seems teams are content to give him space and let him try and beat them with open shots - I'm just saying that I would go a different route. It should be noted, however, that as of right now I am not an official NBA team scout.
