Vukcevic, a 7-footer (2.13 m) with tremendous scoring instincts, is shooting 38% from deep this season in the EuroLeague and Adriatic League.

He has appeared in 12 EuroLeague regular-season games and registered 1.1 points and 1.2 rebounds over six minutes.

The 20-year-old Serbian has had a bigger role in the regional championship, averaging 8.1 points and 3.2 boards in 22 ABA games (14.3 minutes).

Vukcevic arrived in Belgrade after a three-year stint at Real Madrid, where he made his EuroLeague debut in 2020-21.

Vukcevic follows in the footsteps of FC Barcelona's James Nnaji, who also declared for the 2023 NBA draft earlier.
