What are the strengths and weaknesses in Mario Hezonja’s game?

The Croatian wonder Mario Hezonja was arguably the biggest mystery going into last season’s NBA Draft after playing the 2014 season in Spain’s ACB League for FC Barcelona.

Opinions were split on Mario going into the NBA Draft. Some thought Hezonja was a future multi-time all-star, while others saw him as the next J.R. Smith. Draft Express characterized Hezonja with this statement: ”One of the most intriguing talents in this draft class, showing an impressive blend of athleticism and shooting ability”

But 52 games into this season, Hezonja has only been seeing about 15 minutes per game.
