KIR SCOUTING REPORT

Robbie Findley has always been known for his speed.  All loose balls in the opposing end become potentially dangerous with Findley who can surprise defenders with his ability to close on a ball.  Findley also has tremendous leaping ability, and a good sense of timing.  His aerial ability is a highly underrated aspect of his game.

The knock on Findley has always been his touch.  It’s not that he has completely poor touch overall, but his touch is very inconsistent.  In one instance, he’ll receive a long pass with his back heel directing it into the perfect spot, and the next moment he’ll mishandle a simple pass.   Despite this limitation, Findley’s speed, great sense of timing, and above average finishing ability make him one of the more deadly strikers in the league.
