He is much more of a scorer than a shooter.
Yes, just like Winslow and Johnson.
I'd have to agree with this but with Cy as well, he's not a lights out shooter, but he has a respectable shot. We'd need a much bigger sample size before we know exactly how good a shooter he's going to be in his career.

winslow no. he is shooting 19% on 2 pt jumpers.
Johnson is doing well but his shot is very flat and his mechanics need a little adjusting.
hezonja looks good when he shoots it. his ego is one of his problems. he takes some bad shots but when he is in rhythum it is very nice.
the way I look at it is if they shoot the ball am I surprised it went in or missed.

The point is, acting like Hezonja is a better 3pt shooter than Winslow or Johnson is extremely misleading.
There is also a lot less spacing on midrange shots in college compared to European Leagues. Besides, people who score in the midrange are characterized more as "scorers" than "shooters". A shooter is a floor spacer.
The bolded part. I think it CAN be a problem, but it also CAN be a great asset. He has an alpha personality. He seems like the type of player who'd take a team on his back and lead it to wins. He'd take responsibility. I guess it is a question of shaping and directing his ego in a productive and beneficial direction, so it would be a plus rather than a setback for his development.

I agree, but I also think that he has the most potential to get there. I like his physical abilities, I like how he scores, I like his defensive potential, I like his ego and his attitude. I think he'd be a great fit between Hayward and Exum. The length and potential for a Gobert, Favors/Kanter, Hayward, Hezonja and Exum lineup is intriguing.

my point was he can take Ill advised shots that will lower his percentages

I think the one of the big debates will be Winslow vs johnson vs hezonja going into the draft. what I like is the jazz should have a great shot at one of them.
Even though he isn't a SF, I think Russell belongs in that debate. Just as good as those 3 guys IMO.
