Stefan Joksimovic is widely considered the top international prospect in the 2008 generation, and he backed up that reputation with a dominant showing at the FIBA U18 EuroBasket. Joksimovic earned tournament MVP honors, led the event in scoring at 23 points per game and, most importantly, led Slovenia to the championship.
His name is as hot as any international prospect entering the season, and he’s currently viewed as a potential lottery pick in the 2027 NBA Draft, with some believing he could ultimately push his way into the top five. At 6’8”, Joksimovic’s combination of positional size, athleticism, physicality and aggressive mentality gives him one of the more intriguing upside profiles in the class.
