Serbian prospect at center position. Born in 2007, 6"10, long arms , probably will grow some more since he's only 15 years old, resembles a bit Nikola Jokic when they were at the same age. This video is from today's game where he competed against 2,3 years older players in u19 league. Will be interesting to see how he will develop in the future. There are couple of more quality big men prospects in this 2007 born Serbian generation.

Re: Pavle Backo
We did same with Wembanyama 
This kid remands me of Jokic a bit and I used to watch some Jokic' games when he was competing in youth competitions. And this kid is the prospect Its pretty impressive that he was dominating much older players than him,he's pretty skilled. Maybe we will bump this thread two,three years from now

He has such a great hands, quick release when he's shooting , he's a terrific three point shooter. As I said he reminds me a bit of Jokic and Marc Gasol , they were both chubby and overweight but very skilled at the age he's at right now and I think he will continue to grow since he's only 15 years old, he already competes against two,three years older players than him and he's doing good.

He had the strong European Junior tournament with the Serbian national team. He was the leading scorer on the team. He's very skilled offensively , good post up game, can hit the three, he has a very first release. Needs to improve on the defense , which he could when he improve his body, he has the nice wingspan. An interesting player to look down the road.

Him and the PG really impressed me , Backo looks like a lock to be drafted I would say he's a better prospect of all the recent Megs player aside from maybe Topic. He reminds of a Zac Randolph with some Marc Gasol mixed in with probably better 3pt shooting than both.
What are your thoughts on Petar Radovic, I know he's only 6'0 6'1 I have never seen such a dynamic athletic guard with ball handling from Serbia , Topic is the only PG from the junior ranks I can think of who was very good. Hopefully he gets playing time for Borac Cacak this year.
