Zvonimir Ivisic

Croatia and France probably bring out the best game in the tournament with a big clash in the paint. All eyes were on Ivisic brothers and scoring guard Duje Brala in Croatia.

Tomislav and Zvonimir Ivisic look pretty alike but their gamestyle are not similar whatsoever. Tomislav Ivisic is more of an inside/outside stretch five with very soft hands within the paint whereas Zvonimir is more a tall 4 man with good mobility but lacking physical power. Until the tournament, Tomislav was the more touted prospect from Croatia and Zvonimir missed couple of national team tournaments due to injuries. In Udine, Zvonimir showed that he is definitely not a lesser prospect compared to his brother. Tomislav has very good feel for the game, understands possessions, can take sot up jumpers from outside when left alone and can pass out of low post pretty well. He looked to be struggled against contact though, still not hardened inside the paint in any sense and never really looks intense in the games.

Zvonimir had more success scoring inside thanks to his mobility and game IQ, made most of his off-ball game with easy finishes around the rim. It was beyond the 3pt line where he lived. He averaged 5 3pt FGA per game which is a lot for a 7 footer for sure. At this stage both looking vulnerable on defense being soft but the pair collect rebounds from everywhere and definitely having the instincts to get those loose balls.
