Prkacin, Roko Croatia  6'9" 210 PF 11/26/02

Prkacin plays professionally for KK Cibona. He is a powerful 18 year-old, stretch four, that averages 12.9 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 1.0 steals per game. He won't turn 19 until November 2021. He is an excellent rebounder with a nose for the ball. He attacks the rim with ferocity. Defensively, his team is a whopping 5.6 points per 100 possessions better defensively when he is on the floor. This season he shot 35% 3-pt. FG, and 61.8% FT. …He had more turnovers than assists. ...We expect Prkacin to be selected early in round two. ...We like him better than the consensus. He has good size, he plays defense and he can shoot. He tries to dunk everything. Surrounded by NBA talent we believe he will look even better. 

 

Our best advice: in 2017, the 17th pick was DJ Wilson. We advised, "draft John Collins."
