Strengths: Has emerged as one of the top young prospects in Slovenia … Exceptional shooter with crazy range … Has a long and wiry physique … Plays with a good level of aggressiveness, tough mentally … He’s a spot up shooter, but on a few occasions he has shown that he can create his own shot, but he doesn’t exactly have the freedom in games to do that very often … What’s most impressive about him is that he really raises his level of play in big games, so far this season he had his best games against top clubs like Cibona and Crvena Zvezda … Defensively he’s solid, gives his best, you can be sure he wont be named the next Kobe stopper, but he shows good effort and a will to defend, his youth shows sometimes though …

Weaknesses: Because he’s such a great outside shooter, he can become too reliant upon it. But his coaches are encouraging him to attack basket more lately … His speed and agility aren’t outstanding, but decent … Experience of course, but he was thrown out in the water this year and the boy is swiming … As with most younger players, his body strength needs development but his physique indicates he should be able to fill out …
