Summary

Raw seven-footer from Croatian system with intriguing floor-spacing potential but severely underdeveloped frame and strength. Projects as draft-and-stash who needs 2-3 years overseas to add functional weight and refine post fundamentals before NBA consideration.

Strengths

  • Legitimate 7-0 height with fluid shooting mechanics
  • Flashes face-up shooting range to three-point line
  • Good hands and touch around basket
  • Decent mobility for size in open floor

Weaknesses

  • Alarmingly thin 221-pound frame lacks NBA strength
  • Gets overwhelmed physically by contact and posting
  • Limited defensive anchor potential currently
