He is only 17 years old, but he is currently playing in top croatian division with Dubrava. Some days ago he played the Nike Hoop Summit in Portland (Oregon, USA) with the World Select Team, but he is making huge steps forward every day. Phenom Dario Saric ('94) -number #1 of his generation in Eurohopes- made a crazy performance leading his team to the win over Trogir (82-60) and flirting with the triple-double behind 21 points (4/10 twos, 0/1 threes and 13/19 ft), 17 rebounds, 9 assists and 2 steals. He became unstoppable for team coached by Ante Perica, who saw what is capable to do one of the best european rising stars.

 

The 2.05 forward has been combining this season two teams. With Dubrava he is averaging 17.7 points, 9.7 rebounds and 3.5 assists, collecting a double-double in last six contests at domestic cometition. But he also played with KK Zagreb in Adriatic League: 2.3+2.3+0.8 in 12 minutes.
