Nik Slavica (1997, SG, 6’7”, Cibona Zagreb, Croatia)

Slavica was one of the most prolific scorers during the last U16 European championships in Kiev, thanks to his combination of size and strength. Standing at 6’7”, he already has a grown man's body compared to the average player at this level of competition, in fact his game is based on physical domination. He has a slashing style of game and he’s more effective in transition, where he can exploit the momentum to draw contact when attacking the rim. In the half court game he struggles more, with a poor shot selection and more difficulties to find the basket. In order to evolve as a professional player he needs to work on his shot mechanics and game comprehension learning how to use spacing, cuts and screens.
