FIBA U-17 World Championships: Top International Prospects
August 7, 2010
Likely the best performer on an otherwise disappointing Serbian squad, Nemanja Bezbradica confirmed most of the things we saw from him in our trip to Belgrade last February, and added to many of them.

With his solid size, very good athleticism and excellent body, Bezbradica was one of the more physically gifted big men seen in Hamburg. He's not an exceptionally skilled player at this point, but he's an extremely hard worker who plays with great toughness and energy and shows enough flashes of an all-around game to keep you intrigued about his development down the road.

Bezbradica tries to do all kinds of things offensively—whether it's putting ball the ball on the floor from the perimeter, shooting jumpers or posting up aggressively inside—with mixed results. His basketball IQ isn't very high at this stage, but it's nice to see him try to put his physical tools to good use on the court. Clearly his decision-making skills need some work—as does his 43% free throw shooting—but there is plenty to build on down the road.

Defensively, Bezbradica has great potential. He's big enough and tough enough to guard most post players and mobile enough to step out and hedge screens on the perimeter when called upon. He's not afraid to use his body and is willing to dive on the floor for loose balls. He was also one of the better rebounders and shot blockers at this tournament.

Clearly Bezbradica's a player we'll be seeing more of at the international level over the next few years.

Is he still a possibility for UC? It just seems like no one has heard anything about this guy in a while. I would love to see him added to the 2011 class.

I would love to get this kid, but dont want to deal with him not becoming eligible. Go for a kid that will suit up. An intriguing player that has interest in UC is Jamari Traylor. He would be a nice addition as an undersized freakishly athletic post player.

The kid is a young 17. I worry more about FT shooting but he has the motor and body for the BEast.
