|---|---|
| One of the best prospects born in 2002 in Serbia for sure. High upside player who already produces and still has ways to go. Made a switch to Red Star from a small club in Vojvodina called Defense Žabalj. Managed to get them to SRB U15 final tournament last year with a number of MVP performances. Real Madrid had serious interest in him before he went to Red Star. He is an all around player who can play at any position from 1 to 3 with 3 being the one he plays the most of the time. Made great adjustments in his game, especially considering he went from being first 3 offensive options in Žabalj to one of many talents in CZ. He has a year left of eligibility in U17 League, but even played for U19 team couple of times. He is a smart player with very good attitude on the court. Has a good frame and a strong body able to absorb contact. Knows how to attack the rim and hide the ball from defenders. His ball handling skills are pretty good, but he needs to continue working on that as he does not have that many opportunities to play with ball in hands in Red Star. Shooting stats look better than mechanics. Brings the ball slightly from the left side and it makes the release inconsistent. Preparation for a shot isn’t ideal either. |
