The Denver Nuggets selected Slovenian small forward Vlatko Cancar with the 49th selection in the 2017 NBA Draft.
Not much is known about the 20-year-old Cancar, who last played for Mega Leks in the Serbian league. He's a 6-foot-8 forward who doesn't necessarily have much athleticism, but wields a well-rounded game that sees him play inside-out.
Cancar will likely become a stretch-four at the NBA level if he can hone his jumper and add bulk.
