Plays on Croatian U20 national team, scoring 15.6 points with 8.1 rebounds at the 2007 U20 European Championships in Slovenia ...

NBA.com analysis: "Grew up playing as a guard until a growth spurt moved him to the frontcourt. Skilled with short jumpers and baby hooks in his arsenal. Lacks strength though he is willing to throw his body around. Solid athlete."
