Bio:

A typical floor general, Jaka has great court vision and passing skills, and can hit the basket at will from behind the 3 point line. A great clutch shooter who wants the ball in his hands in the important moments during any game. He is a great defender even when defending player’s who are taller.

Jaka grew up with KD Slovan Ljubljana (Slovenia)…made his debut with KD Slovan Ljubljana during the 1996-97 season…played there till the 2000-01 championship…signed for the 2001-02 season by KK KrKa Novo Mesto…moved to Greece for the 2002-03 season, signed by Panathinaikos AO Athens…he’s still playing there.
