Via Instagram, Lazar Milosevic has announced he is coming to play for #DuqMBB. Was a 40.2% 3 shooter averaging 12.1 ppg for OKK Spars Sarajevo (Bosnia D-I) @PghSportsNow.

Wow thanks looks like the PF we have been missing.
With that percentage from 3 isn't the international distance longer than college?
How many years does he have?
Welcome to Dukes Lazar!

3 point shot distance is the same in NCAA and FIBA.

The competition level looks somewhat questionable even if it is professional, but I like the versatility to both play with his back to the basket and stretch the defense. He’ll have to get out of the habit of hanging on the rim though. We saw last season the A-10 refs really cracked down on that (though only one against us that I remember).

So if my conversion is accurate on the stats in the video, Lazar is a 6'9" 236 lb 21 year old freshman that can shoot the three at 40% and can use that big body to drive the ball hard to the hoop. No doubt there will be some adjustments in competition, but I like this commitment. I think Dru found his PF back up to Necas.

Your metric conversion skills are spot on, CLK. Very intriguing player. Looks like he plays a bit chippy too; could be quite the physical tandem underneath with Hugley and Lazar.

Those conversions are on. Probably the only debate would be if the video is accurate. It probably can’t be off by that much if at all though. The two sites I found list him as a 6’9” starting point guard
and a 6’8” starting centerOffline
Has anyone come across info on other schools that pursued or offered Lazarus?

I love this pickup. Euro that has been coached up to play all 5 spots. Unlike the AAU coaches who want to win instead of developing the kids Coach Dru can continue to mine gold in Europe. Nice hops, smooth stroke, good ball handler & yes he can make his foul shots. What’s not to like. Go Dukes

Certainly like getting another bigger player, and he is big, and knows how to dunk the ball whenever he can. Hopefully he brings that with him to America. No more of that soft stuff at the rim.
