Most of his advantage at U20 relies on his superior physical attributes. When he creates off the dribble or from post up he is relying on his better strength or his quicker first step.
In EL he will not have such advantages next year, so I think he will struggle.
In terms of skills that translate well. His court vision is super, and it will be in EL as well, but again he will probably get way fewer touches in EL and no team would put a double team or help on him, so his ability to use it will exist but will be much more limited.
I really hope that he will make the same enormous improvement on his shooting as Casspi did at his age. He is currently one of the worse free throw and 3 point shooters in the competition. While I think his low free throw percentage is bad luck, his 3% shooting worries me, he takes shot with confidence, but this is not the first tournament when he shoot a lot with an extremely low percentage. Hopefully, he is a better shooter and just had bad days during the U20, I'm still hoping for some 4/8 tomorrow against France.
