Expert Analysis
Ari Rosenfeld | Prep Hoops Scout
Jevic was an object of some intrigue this spring and summer on the MADE Hoops circuit during his first grassroots season in the U.S., but seeing him with his high school team offered a much clearer look at all that he brings to the table. A native of Serbia who’s been in the States about a year, he’s a modern hybrid forward with size and length to impact near the rim but a natural skillset on the perimeter. He shined most as a passer, showcasing quick decisionmaking ability from all over the floor, and is a plus ballhandler for his size as well. While on the skinnier side, he did a nice job of staying active and using his length to crash down and create extra possessions on the glass. Jevic flashed some range and versatility as a shooter but still isn’t the most consistent mechanically. He’s very much under the radar right now but scholarship-level programs should be checking in as there looks to be some real upside to tap into here.

Jevic has really nice size, he’s tough to stop, controls the glass and helps protect the paint. His footwork continues to improve, he’s more active on switches, getting more stops and should be a big part of the team this season. This coaching staff will keep pushing his development, he should play a lot of minutes, he’s a double double threat plus his skillset allows him some versatility on the offensive end.

Read EvaluationKevin Daniels | Prep Hoops Scout
He was a slim, lengthy prospect with long arms and good size. He was comfortable putting the ball on the floor and showed strong rebounding ability, both in traffic and out of area. He finished in transition through contact. He used his length to contest shots and made a good pass from the post to set up an open jumper. He blocked a jumper with his long arms and moved well in the half court. He was highly effective and contributed in other ways, blocking and altering shots, rebounding on both ends, and delivering pinpoint passes.
