According to Adam Finkelstein of 247Sports, Kentucky’s Zvonimir Ivisic is the NBA prospect that everyone is talking about.
Big Z was so impressive in his college debut that Krysten Peek of Yahoo! Sports is already projecting him as a lottery pick.
Peek has Ivisic going No. 9 to the Atlanta Hawks:
9. Atlanta Hawks: F Zvonimir Ivišić
Ht./Wt.: 7-2, 234 pounds | Class: Freshman | Kentucky
Ivišić has only logged 16 minutes for Kentucky and played in his first game Saturday after finally being cleared by the NCAA. He was by far the most exciting player on the court, scoring 13 points and adding five rebounds, three blocks, two assists and two steals in a win over Georgia. He moves extremely well at 7-2 and threw one pass behind his back to a teammate for a corner 3, went 3-of-4 from behind the arc and is a tremendous rim protector. Ivišić could continue to rise in the lottery and solidify himself as a top-five pick.
The NBA prospect that everyone is talking about this morning – Zvonimir Ivisic.
