DOG • Max Strus

NBA ROLE: OUTSIDE SCORER/SHARPSHOOTER

Max Strus has a torch from beyond the arc: deadeye outside shooter w/ range & defensive intensity; unbothered by a strong contest*: Strus has no trouble dropping in long bombs off the catch despite defensive pressure; great curl shooter, won’t hesitate to fire off the catch; more than a threat from downtown - still working on rounding out offensive game, though is unafraid of driving hard at closeouts for easy looks inside; doesn’t give up ground too easily on D - staying in front of his man and limiting opportunities has led to an increased role; undrafted sniper to watch: scoring volume & comfortability has elevated w/ more PT; improved in all areas since entering the league (has aided maximum longevity); signed 4-year deal w/ Cavs (2023): Strus is a key Star UnderDOG, has a ton of room to grow on an up & coming contender like Cleveland

*similar to Duncan Robinson!
