NBA Comparison: Josh Childress/Austin Daye

Strengths: Long armed, left handed wing … Possesses good speed and a quick first step … Very comfortable using his dribble to get to the hole especially going left … Has nice form on his jumper with high arc and quick release … Possesses a left hand floater … On offense moves well around the basket with backdoors and other cuts to get easy scores …

Weaknesses: While very quick, he does not possess elite jumping ability… He is rail thin player and definitely needs to put on some muscle but must be careful that the added weight does not take away from his elite speed … He could benefit from using his right hand more on offense … Needs to show more of a go to mentality on offense and not be so willing to defer … Does not realize how good he can be yet …

Notes: Has been overlooked by the basketball community some playing with more heralded Croatians Prostran, Zubcic, and Delas in international competition but may be the best NBA prospect among that group …
