NBA Comparison:

Strengths: All Around wing… Great size for his position… Solid length, with a 6-11 wingspan… Good physical profile with an OK body structure… Nice, wide shoulders… Runs the floor well… Versatile can play in either wing position and  if body continues to fill up he could play 2-4 in the future… Can be effective playing on and off the ball… Has the potential to become a playmaking wing… Smooth shooting mechanics… His shooting release looks effortless, he has the same form both in Spot Ups and Pull Ups… A natural shooter and a threat in Spot Up actions… Has shown potential in off screen actions, coming from stagger screens and taking quick shots… Attacks close outs at a good level, taking advantage of the fact that defenses respect his shooting ability… Has a good Pull Up shot in his arsenal and is a solid shooter from mid-range… An above average ball handler, with a nice crossover dribble in his arsenal (from left to right) and some hesitation moves… Moves well away off the ball, with smart cuts to the basket… Has shown potential as a secondary playmaker, with solid results in Pick and Roll actions as the ball handler… Knows how to use screens before decide either to shoot or pass the ball… Has solid court vision in Pick and Rolls, can see with ease the weakside thanks to his size… Good rebounder for his position… His size helps him on defense… Above average Post Up defender… Smart weakside defender, has a solid understanding of defensive rotations…

Weaknesses: An average athlete by NBA standards… Playing for an established team for years with a lot of veterans, he lacked playing time and his development kind of stacked… Has some ups and downs in the same game, he can make some good plays in a row and then have some head scratching moments due to inexperience… Has just an OK first step, which causes him problems against athletic defenders in ISO situations… Ball handling needs some polishing, should improve dribbling with his left (weak) hand… Can establish position in the Post, but can’t really punish miss-matches against physical opponents for now… Doesn’t really drive to the basket much, more of a Jump Shooter… Finishing at the rim with his left hand needs work… Doesn’t draw a lot of fouls due to playing style… He should add a floater to his game to be able to mix it up… Settles for contested mid-range shots when he is heavily guarded, since he can’t really create seperation… Still needs work as the ball handler in Pick and Roll actions, decision making isn’t completely there… He might try some pocket passes in Pick and Rolls that just aren’t there… Has the tendency to kick his leg out when he shoots the ball to initiate contact, which leads to getting called for fouls… Average lateral quickness… Athletic wings and guard can get past him in ISO situations… Can get dragged behind screens in Pick and Roll actions when he defends the ball handler… Has problems when chasing players around screens…

Overall: Tarik Biberovic is a versatile wing with good size… Shooting is his calling card, but has shown potential as a secondary playmaker… At the same time, his lack of playing time the last couple of years and average athleticism are concerning… If he manages to have consistent playing time in Europe to figure things out, he could become an all around point forward
