Summary:
Amar Gegic is a skilled point forward that can play multiple positions on the court. He is a versatile scorer that can do so off the dribble, in the post, or on off-ball motion plays, and he has solid court sense that allows him to rack up assists.
On the other hand, he will need to significantly improve his jump shot, and he can sometimes be too turnover-prone in games. He will have to show that he can succeed at the higher levels of international basketball. Right now, he projects to be a borderline second round candidate for the 2020 draft.
