First Xavier Forcada, the main catalyst of the team in the aforementioned showdown against France. Despite the solid play of PG Quim Colom, the load of creating offense rested foremost on the shoulders of Forcada, an explosive off guard who has been attacking and splitting defeses almost at will. He's aggressive, enjoying a very good first step, handles, excellent footwork, the athleticism and the soft touch in his layups to successfully finish around the basket. Besides, his perimeter shooting, probably his biggest weakness, looks improved, more fluid in the release, although he has still work to do. Anyway, at 6-4, he's not big enough to become a serious NBA prospect as a wing player, and despite his nice passing game, it's not clear at all that he can become a PG.
