Skalijac has a very simple but effective game. He is not going to do tons of dribbling moves but he will get to his spot ad give you buckets. He was great this weekend for the Ohio Buckets. He was a scoring-first guard that understood to let the game come to him. He knows attacking lanes and getting to the rim very well and has some really good touch around the rim. He seemed to be best in transition with attacking and passing it to his teammates. I really like this kid’s game because it is just about buckets.

The first game of the tournament couldn’t have started off with more of a bang as the Ohio Buckets were taking it to Indiana Elite with a 15 point first half lead. The majority of the lead was thanks to Skaljac who was hitting contested shot after contested shot. An elite off the bounce shooter, Skaljac doesn’t need much room to fire away and knock down perimeter shots. Playing at his own pace, Skaljac isn’t rushed and gets to his spots. As a facilitator, Skaljac was finding open teammates and making the right pass to cutters, shooters and rollers. On the defensive end, Skaljac is up and down with staying in front of ball handlers and staying aware off the ball but he did have a pair of blocks. By the end of the game the Buckets and Skaljac ran out of gas and couldn’t get the stops needed to stay with the eventual champions, but Skaljac showed what he can do against one of the elite 3SSB teams in the country. Skaljac continues to play like one of the best 2024 prospects in the state and is worthy of more recruiting buzz from mid to high major programs.

A smooth left-handed guard, Skaljac proved himself as one of the top mid-major recruits in the state of Ohio over the weekend. He started off strong on Friday night against Indiana Elite 2024 – 3SSB. Ohio Buckets 2024 jumped out to a 15-1 lead as he scored it from all three levels. Skaljac’s ability to create his own jump shot off of the dribble is really impressive. They would end up losing the game, but the 6’2″ guard finished with a game-high 18 points. He backed it up again on Saturday with a 22-point performance

Skaljac is one of the most skilled guards to come out of Ohio with excellent pace and tremendous shot-making ability. A big time scorer who can also run the show for his teammates, there’s few guards more offensively gifted than Skaljac in the 2024 class across the midwest. Skaljac has been kept a little under the radar with a couple mid major offers, but I expect more schools to come calling about Skaljac in either the spring or summer. You can catch Skaljac with the Ohio Buckets during the grassroots season and Brecksville-Broadview Heights during June.

Skaljac moves into the top 7 of our rankings and continues to impress with his skill, shot-making ability and how he rises up to the moment. Skaljac is a big game player and has done a great job carrying a huge offensive load for Brecksville this season. Right now a high priority for mid major programs across the region, it wouldn’t stun me if Skaljac got offers from Atlantic 10 or High Major programs depending on how he plays this summer.
