Jeppesen is a very intriguing prospect. One of the most offensively gifted prospects coming from Europe in years. Can score at will from any part of the court as his combination of Athleticism and Strength really cause problems for the defense. However there are a few problems that he has with footwork that cause him to be a pain in some regards.
Strenghts: Scores at will. Can jump out the roof. Can hit a 16 footer with a hand in his face. Stronger then most wings and smarter then most wings. His Basketball IQ is scary to the point where he studies his opponents every move. Rebounding is very strong. Offensive potential is ridiculous.
Weaknesses. His defensive game is really interesting because there are some aspects to it that are strong but others that are really weak and I mean really weak. Due to his athleticism his post defense is above average while he can block shots. However the problem with Kristoffer is his lack of speed and how it affects aspects of defense. One scout put it "If he was 6'10 he would be the best prospect to come through BBS in sometime" However he is 6'6 and it is hard for him to play the 4 or 5. He is awful in the passing lanes and he looks like he is stumbling guarding the perimeter. Terrible in man to man defenses and only is decent in a zone. He has been working desperately on his quickness but to no success. Scouts are optimistic though. Very bad ball handler and passer too mostly resulting for the lack of speed. Although he isn't a Bobby Hill, he definitely has too improve to be successful in BBS.
Has some room to grow. Scouts are comparing him to Shelly Cruise and Xavier Henry. Should be a mid-late lotto.
