Adam Haluska is a 6’5, 210 pounds and is underrated that doesn’t get as much attention as he should. His ability to shoot the ball gives him a great shot to be a role player on someones team.
He is a great free throw shooter, and he can get his shot off quickly with his quick release. He is a player that likes to play to his strengths and not go overboard beyond what he can do. He has a great character, a hard worker, and a solid leader. He is a very patient player who lets the game come to him and he can get hot in a hurry. He has good body strength and is a good finisher after contact. He has good ball-handling skills, good court vision and is an unselfish player. Adam is a creative and can easily draw fouls, and can come off screens real well to create his shots. He does pretty good at moving without the ball. He is also ok defensively and works hard to create steals.
Adam doesn’t have a good first step, so it’s difficult to separate from his defenders. He is a better shooter when his feet are set, more than when he is shooting off the dribble. He is one of those flopping players who tries to get refs attention by drawing contact, and most of the time it’s not needed. He struggles against quicker players. His shot can be inconsistent sometimes. He should be more assertive and could take over more when he’s needed. He is a year older than most seniors, because he had a transfer year, and his potential may be at it’s peak, so what you see now is probably what you’ll get for his career.
He’ll basically be a shooter off the bench, but with his solid play he could be a steal for a team that selects him late in the draft, or brings him in as an undrafted free agent. He sort of reminds me of a buddy of mine Eric Piatkowski.
