2025 Draft Profile - Michael Ruzic

The Ringer - May 27th: "The ball is out and exposed away from his body as he flows up to shoot it. Because he’s not much of a self-creator beyond left-shouldered midrange fades (which he shoots well), Ruzic will need to raise his comfort level when catching the ball in traffic and quickly and aggressively powering up to finish"

NBA Draft Room - May 22nd: "I like him a lot higher than this but also have enough doubts that I probably wouldn’t take him until later in the second round. He measured really well at the combine, has a very nice shooting stroke and a good feel on the offensive end. He’s a developmental player and a possible draft and stash."

Kevin O'Connor - Yahoo! Sports - May 12th: "Ruzic is a raw Croatian forward who was born in France and now plays in Spain. He projects as a knockdown shooter with passing feel, though at only 18 until October he is incredibly raw physically."

NBA Draft Room - March 22nd: "Ruzic is a smooth-scoring combo forward with a lot of offensive upside. He shoots the ball extremely well and plays a modern floor-spacing game."

Jonathan Wasserman - Bleacher Report - March 11th: "Michael Ruzic still hasn't found a rhythm since returning from a four-month layoff from a thumb injury. But it was just announced he'll be participating at the 2025 Nike Hoop Summit, a big opportunity to make an impression in front of dozens of NBA executives."
