Scouting Report
Scout: Streaming Cristian Ruiz Context: Hgh School and Mannheim March 2026
Left-handed point guard with good low ball handling. From there, he plays 1v1 with changes of pace and between-the-legs dribbling; he can attack his defender on both sides, finishing more with his left hand than his right and using various resources. When the defense collapses, he assists well on the perimeter. Good spot-up 3-point shot with good percentages. Uses good fakes. He is intuitive on defense for steals.

Natural point guard with a great ability to control tempo and deliver assists on time. Makes good decisions in pick-and-roll situations and generally shows solid judgment. During the tournament, he occasionally became disorganized, as Brazil relied heavily on the offensive power of its players in one-on-one situations.
Defensively, he has quick hands for stealing the ball and shows strong defensive range and intuition to anticipate various situations. Without a doubt, he is an intelligent, fast, and technically skilled player. He needs to improve his physical strength. With time and space, he has a good three-point shot.
