Is this just to fill out a spot on the roster or does he have a shot at contributing? 

He is only 18 so I am guessing the staff feel like he can develop.  He has 4 years of eligibility left so he can be a building block for the future.

Watched a couple of the highlight videos and he seems a tad slow but some skills. Gives us some much needed frontcourt depth and 5 fouls if nothing else. Don't know the level of competition in his pro league but 17 ppg is not bad. Wondering if he gets here in time for the Puerto Rico trip? That KK MegaBasket team has a lot of size so he would come in handy and also see how he matches up with Luigi Suigo.

Good summary.  Seems slow.  A bit of an under the basket guy.  Some skills.  The size is intriguing at the least.  I feel a little bit better in the case of an emergency but doesn't seem like a piece that'll play much to begin with.

All the other sites list him at 6'9".  Wonder which is more accurate.  He doesn't "look" 6'11'' in the highlight package.  

The IU website lists him at 6"11" but not sure that means anything, LOL 

He will be number 15.  No weight listed yet.

Need to track down his club teams. Since almost all of the Euroclubs have YouTube pages and FIBA archives pretty much everything finding actual games of his should be pretty straightforward.

19 years old.

Bosnian/Herzegovina basketball is... really pretty good! Almost on par with FIBA teams like France and Serbia. So starting and succeeding on their U-19 team seems like that's a real accomplishment. 

Seems as though he wasn't nearly as successful on their U-18 team, so hopefully he's a late developer that has recently found a new level.

For that senior level Bosnian pro team? In 23 minutes per game he averaged 17.5 pts and 2.3 turnovers. For a big that's a lot of turnovers.

Averaged about 15 fg attempts and ten fts per 40 minutes on the pro team. He's clearly not shy when he's on the court.

This is a young player who will be the 13th on the roster. 100% a developmental get. At this point that is what should be expected. He needs to be a developmental get with an excellent attitude and upside.
