The Pelicans have a good eye, they used the second round to select the future star of the European arena?
In today's warm-up match of the men's basketball European Championship, Slovenia narrowly defeated Croatia 94-88 after a hard battle. Despite losing the game, Croatia's interior star Karlo Matkovic did well, facing a formidable opponent, Matkovic scored 10 points, the team's No. 5 scorer, and his performance was eye-catching.
Born in May 2001, Matekovic is 211cm tall and weighs 105kg, making him the new Interior Star of the New Orleans Pelicans with the 52nd pick in the second round. He was still an obscure player for more than a month before the draft, but in the joint trial session before the draft, Matkovic showed great talent, and he also won the attention of many teams. In the end, the Pelicans selected him with a second-round pick, but he will continue to practice in Europe in the new season.
The Croatian Basketball Association has just announced the 12-man squad for the European Championships, as is Matkovic, who will play in the European Championships with several well-known NBA stars such as Bojan Bogdanovic, Dario Saric, Ivica Zubac and former NBA lotto show Mario Hezonja. In just a few months, Matkovich has made several leaps. A few months ago he was a rotational player for Adriatic league side KK Mega, averaging just 22 minutes per game. A few months later, he will not only be on the list in the NBA Draft, but will also represent the national team in the European Championships. It is not known how the 21-year-old interior star can play in the European Championships.
