Pelicans Draftee Karlo Matkovic Leaves Slovenian Club For NBA

You guys know I love it when a new European comes over Klo matakovich is leaving his Slovenian come and coming to the NBA hasn’t been official but the Pelicans still have part of their mid-level non- taxpayer mid-level exception and they could also use the new second round pick rule to sign Carlo

Movich to a 3 to four year m 3 to four year deal now what are you getting with Carlo movich what I’m assuming is they looked at the free agency market and they’re like look The Bigs aren’t that great and I understand them and they looked at Carlo matakovich and they probably thought

Hey I would not be surprised if yeah it was in their best interest to go out and bring him in cuz dude this guy has a 40-in vertical at 6’1 he can play power forward and center and he’s was over in slovania he this past season he’s

Averaged 15 and a half points seven rebounds two and a half blocks per game for Cita Olympia I can’t say that but someone tell me down below he was a second round pick in 2022 6’1 he’s 22 years old and they’re currently $2.6 million under the luxury

Tax with one roster space open so Thum having most of the non- taxpayer midlevel exception remaining they could also use the new second round pick exception to sign matakovich to a 3 to foure deal and with matakovich you know he when he was drafted he was playing

For Mega he’s from Bosnia har and goia and he’s a guy that in my opinion he’s shown the ability to be a solid big when you play the four or the five he he’s not going to be a guy that’s going to like you know stretch the floor and

Knock down threes like he’s some animal from there but no what he’s going to provide is athleticism Rim running Rim protection good rebounding solid frame for a very cheap value that he’ll be for being a backup big this year he’s technically taking 37% % from three but

Is on a very limited attempt but 63% from the field he’s he’s been honestly fantastic and if we look in I believe it’s Euro league I I guess it’s technically Euro Cup not Euro league he’s only he didn’t playing year in the Euro Cup he’s averaging 15 six

And you know the three-point shots even hitting harder so it’s definitely intriguing to see Carlo matakovich get this hype I’m excited to see how he’ll fit in there he was drafted alongside EJ Liddell and Dyson Daniels and don’t get me wrong I I do like the Pelicans they do need to backup

Big that’s kind of something that they’ve lacked you remember when they had Hern and Gomez a few years ago it was really nice but yeah outside of yonas Valen chunes they didn’t really Jeremiah Robinson Earl Cody Zeller and Cody Zeller’s been a shell of himself so I think Carlo

Movic low cost High reward so guys I ate yogurt oh my God so if you made it to the end of the video and you’ve been noticing this white thing on my lip I’m eating yogurt oh yeah what am I do it

Karlo Matkovic appears headed to the NBA. Slovenian Club Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana announced Matkovic is leaving the team to join the NBA.

The New Orleans Pelicans hold Matkovic’s NBA draft rights. He was a second-round pick by the Pelicans at the 2022 NBA Draft.

The 6-foot-11 big man has played two seasons with Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana. This season Matkovic has averaged 15.3 points, 6.9 rebounds and 2.4 blocks per game across all competitions.

The Pelicans are currently $2.6 million below the luxury tax, with one roster spot open. New Orleans also has most of the Non-Taxpayer MLE remaining. They could also use the new Second Round pick exception to sign Matkovic to a three- or four-year deal.
