Evaluation

Sawicki is a strong inside player who has the ability to play on the perimeter. He is an active rebounder and will rank among the top rebounders in the league. His offensive skills are improving every time he steps onto the court. He will more than likely average close to a double-double this year. Sawicki has definite pro potential, whether it be in the IBA, CBA, IBL, or overseas, because players with his combination of height and skill are not easy to find.
