Stretch-forward value with size, touch, and savvy
In his Miami era, Cruz Uceda stood out as a 6-10 forward with legit shooting touch, strong hands, and unusual passing feel for a big man—traits that made him more than just a paint body. Miami described him as a spot-up three threat and a smart, veteran presence, and in the 2015 season he was knocking down 45% of his threes while also giving the Hurricanes efficient frontcourt minutes. If your team wants size that can stretch the floor and make the extra play, he fits; if you need raw rim protection or burst, that’s not his calling card.
