Filip Vranjes is 6’9” forward-center currently playing for KK Samobor of the Croatian A1 League (2020-21 season). Since this international player was born on September 26, 1999 he is automatically eligible for the 2021 NBA draft.
With his incredible 7’0” wingspan and long hands, 6’9” Vranjes, who could easily guard players at all five positions, proved to be an intimidating shot-blocking threat for all of his opponents, and led the League in that department with 1.4 rejections per game (the league rankings are available at https://www.hks-cbf.hr/statistika/?WHurl=%2Fcompetition%2F28346%2Fleaders%3F)
While displaying solid low post moves and mid-range game, alongside his ability to easily finish up the plays with often spectacular high-flying dunks, he energized his team at the both ends of the floor, posting single game highs of 22 points and 19 rebounds for the 2020-21 HKS A1 league season. This, all together, makes him a highly intriguing draft 2021 draft prospect.
