My Take

What I admire about Klemen Prepelič is the quiet improbability of his career. Slovenia is a tiny country, yet he climbed to the EuroLeague and now wears the captain's armband for Dubai Basketball while representing his nation internationally. Shooting guards who reliably knock down shots in big moments rarely grab headlines the way superstars do, but they win games. At 192 cm he has the frame to score over defenders, and the discipline to do it night after night. I find players from small basketball nations endlessly compelling, and Prepelič strikes me as exactly that kind of dependable, underappreciated competitor.

Overview

Klemen Prepelič (born 20 October 1992) is a Slovenian professional basketball player and the team captain for Dubai Basketball of the ABA League and the EuroLeague.
