Milos Uzan
Position:Â Guard

Player Overview
Milos Uzan is a steady, high-IQ guard who brings a relentless motor and defensive intensity to every game. He embraces defensive challenges and has the length and versatility to guard multiple positions. His poise on the offensive end stands out—Uzan plays under control, makes smart decisions, and rarely forces plays. He’s an unselfish player who consistently looks to get his teammates involved, sometimes to a fault.
While Uzan’s ability to control the game is a clear strength, his offensive upside is tied to one swing skill—outside shooting. He has shot the ball well this season, and he must make this a sustainable part of his game because if not, he's at risk of being too easy to defend at the next level. Additionally, while he can take over games, he doesn’t assert himself as a primary scorer as often as maybe he could. If he develops a more consistent outside shot and becomes more assertive as a scorer, Uzan has the potential to carve out a meaningful role in the NBA.
"The more I watch Uzan, the more I like him. He’s played a huge role in Houston’s success, displaying a polished and poised game. He reminds me of Andrew Nembhard, who has become a very good NBA player." — Matt Babcock, NBA Draft Analyst

Questions

Bottom Line
Milos Uzan is a poised, high-IQ guard with defensive toughness and a team-first mentality.

If he can be a consistent threat from deep and assert himself more offensively, he has the tools to be a strong two-way contributor at the next level.
