MLADJAN, Dusan
STRENGTHS: Great offensive potential. He believes in his ability and has the attributes to emerge as a go-to guy. Good body structure, physically strong, he has long arms and leaping ability. He accelerates with power, he can hit the pull up jumper at full speed. A scorer: with powerful drives, jumpers, shoots off the dribble, coming off the screens.
WEAKNESSES: He’s fairly young and therefore still has to refine his game. He tends to play mainly for himself. He follows his instinct forcing the issue off the dribble or charging head down. A finisher that does not create much for his teammates. He needs to improve his 1-on-1 game. Defensive mentality?
CAREER: Born in Belgrade but he came up in Switzerland, he has the Swiss passport. He played at Lugano and had an immediate impact: 18ppg in 2003-04 and 13.4 the following season. He took part in Treviso’s Reebok camp in 2004 and already has experience with the national team, senior and junior (32ppg at the European Championships B U20 in 2006). First meaningful minutes at Reggio Calabria in 2006-07. His other experiences in the Italian Lega2 were failures. Played the Eurochallenge with Lugano in 2010-11.
EVALUATION: Interesting player: athletic and physical potential, on offense he has a feel for the game. He has not done much so far, he had little playing time at Udine and Roseto, and only did well at a low level. However, he did fine at Reggio Calabria, the talent is undeniable, he can shoot from 3, he can score in many ways and is self-confident. He has evident flaws but he can work on it. One to keep an eye on.
