Bio:

Huge. Towers over opponents. Has soft hands and is excellent at putting back missed shots. A very good passer out of the post. Works his tail off on the court…A decent shot blocker, because of his gigantic size…. Has good touch around the bsket and can shoot from mid range … Perovic possesses average athleticism, but runs the court well and has a decent vertical leap. He has a good wingspan which might allow him to become a shot-blocking threat. His wingspan helps him defensively on the glass, as well as giving him more options to finish around the basket. Perovic has very soft hands and is a good finisher around teh basket. Many of his points come off of offensive rebounds, where he uses his size and long arm to grab rebounds over smaller opponents. His go-to-move is a hook shot and it’s a pretty effective weapon. He can use it with either hand, and genernally has no problem using his left around the basket, which speak volumes about his skill level. Kosta also has a very nice mid-range jumper His mechanics and shooting strokes are suprisingly good for a center. Perovic is also a good free throw shooter for a big man. he also has very good court vision and is a very good passer out of the low or high post. Perovic seems to have a very good knowledge of the game to go along with his above average basketball IQ. He is a very experienced player compared with most players his age.
