solid rebound rates with Mega.<\/p>\n<p>* Effective in short roll actions \u2013\u00a0shows flashes of touch and vision.<\/p>\n<p>* Can put the ball on the floor a little \u2013\u00a0enough to attack closeouts effectively.<\/p>\n<p>* Active defender \u2013\u00a0contests shots at a strong rate and uses his size to disrupt passing lanes.<\/p>\n<p>* Mature international experience \u2013 starred for Serbia\u2019s U18 gold medal team and debuted with the senior National Team at 19.<\/p>\n<p>* Confident scorer who embraces physical play inside and outside.<\/p>\n<p>Weaknesses:<\/p>\n<p>* Needs to tighten his ball-handling \u2013\u00a0can be loose on drives and forced into turnovers against athletic defenders.<\/p>\n<p>* Struggles creating in isolation \u2013\u00a0just 0.875 PPS.<\/p>\n<p>* Post-up scoring is inconsistent against bigger defenders \u2013\u00a00.848 PPS on high volume but limited against NBA-caliber size.<\/p>\n<p>* Lacks elite foot speed \u2013\u00a0can be exposed by quicker forwards and guards on switches defensively.<\/p>\n<p>* Can be turnover-prone under heavy pressure (around a 13.5% turnover rate).<\/p>\n<p>* Transition defense and recovery speed need polish \u2013\u00a0vulnerable to runouts.<\/p>\n<p>* Free-throw rate could be higher for someone who plays inside often \u2013\u00a0doesn\u2019t always draw enough contact.<\/p>\n<p>* Needs to improve lateral quickness to consistently defend in space at the NBA level.<\/p>\n<p>You can follow Cyro Asseo (<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CyroAsseo\" rel=\"nofollow\">@<\/a><a
