Prospect Spotlight: Zvonimir Ivisic 

Post#1 » by Jamaaliver » Fri Aug 9, 2024 1:40 pm

Any thoughts on this kid? Is he a prospect for the 1st Round in this loaded 2025 draft class?

Seems to have the solid unicorn archetype that so many teams are clamoring for.

Reminds me of a more agile Porzingis. Seems like a worthy gamble in the teens of next year's draft class if he produces at a solid level this college season.

I like big Z. Think he will need to add a lot of muscle to be effective defensively at the rim. He’s similar to Chet but doesn’t have the defensive instincts. Think he’s Chet on offense though.

Didn't this guy transfer to another school when coach Cal quit Kentucky?

Yes, transfered to Arkansas.

Which is why I was so surprised he didn't come out in a weaker 2024 draft class...

It's because he missed half the season due to an eligibility issue and once he was cleared to play he was only good in like 1 or 2 games.

Also, the 2024 draft class was good...it just wasn't good at the top. The top 5 or 10 picks were lacking in top end, clear cut star talent. But other than that it was a normal draft class. So that doesn't really impact a guy who was only projected to be a 2nd round pick - if that.

Zvonimir's twin brother Tomislav arguably had the better season last year.. yet no one seems to talk about him, for some reason..oh wait, I know the reason..it's because Big Z played at Kentucky, where Tomislav played for SC Derby.

Has intriguing talent but needs good coaching badly. Injuries have also set him back a lot.
