INTRODUCTION
Kurt James, former di Valdosta State, is an experienced forward/undersized big who has played in Spain, Portugal, and last season in Malta, where he won the national cup and was named MVP, as well as securing the title.
Kurt James is a reliable scorer who uses his body to create space in the paint, excelling as an offensive rebounder. He also possesses the skill and technique to open up the floor with his three-point shooting (46.3% on 3.7 attempts per game in Malta) and the ability to find his teammates (4.3 assists). To achieve complete offensive versatility, he needs to make his mid-range shooting or floaters more reliable. His good understanding of the game is evident on the defensive end, where he demonstrates a strong sense of positioning on passing lanes and timing for double teams. However, he may encounter some difficulties in on-ball defense due to his size, particularly against quicker opponents. With years of experience and stability in Europe, he can be a secure addition for a team in search of a solid, physical player with good hands.
