Strengths: Marko is a 6’11’’ skilled C with good length … Has nice soft touch and can finish with both hands effectively when playing around the rim … In Barcelona he played only 7 minutes per game, but was able to display his talent … He is one of the best European big men in his age group … Has an effective mid-range game and can knock down jumpers from 15 feet consistently … He moves well for his size; his moves and coordination are fluidity are at a respectable level …

Weaknesses: Below the rim athlete … Thin frame. Must improve his body in order to play at the next level,  allowing him to be more effective both defensively and offensively … Has good timing and feel for rebounds, even playing only 7 minutes per game, he managed to have 2.2 rebounds per game … Defensively he has difficulties guarding stronger centers because of  his lack of strength …

Notes: He is a long-term project and unlikely to help teams right away … Had surgery on his finger/hand and will be out for another 4-6 months.
