The weakness he is skinny and he needs to work in the weight room to adapt his body to NBA standards from a physical standpoint. But good that he can fit in the coach Popovich he also has heritage from Serbia-Croatia, will be under his roof and best coaching, as he can explore his new skills and aggressiveness, from an attitude standpoint, in that sense he’s not a typical Balkan player.
