3. Vlatko Cancar, SF, Slovenia

2016-17 statistics: 8.2 PPG, 2.9 RPG, 1.6 APG

In 21 games for Mega Leks, a Serbian club with a reputation for developing promising players, Cancar posted 40.7 percent shooting from three-point range, as he knocked down 22-of-54 attempts from beyond the arc.

Cancar tied for the second-worst vertical jump, along with Caleb Swanigan and Isaiah Hartenstein as he measured at just 29 inches, but his intrigue as a draft prospect isn’t centered around his leaping ability.

Capable of playing both forward positions, Cancar is an intriguing prospect because of his ability to create his own shots off the dribble, employing an exceptional shot fake to generate separation from his opponents.

His quick release and excellent precision from all over the perimeter could carve out a spot in the NBA for the 20-year-old.

Over the past few years, Cancar has added muscle to his frame, but at 210 pounds, he can be pushed around by larger opponents.

The 6’8″ frame, along with a fluid long range shot, makes Cancar a potential draft-and-stash prospect for the Atlanta Hawks with the final selection of the 2017 NBA Draft, as the team may attempt to avoid adding salary to the roster.
