He is an outstanding athlete, with size and good body structure. Quick,
reactive, Marko has great leaping ability, and possesses good control of his
body. He's versatile, fits better at the shooting guard spot, but can also
play the small forward or the point guard spot, if needed. Deadly in open
court situations where he can handle the ball coast to coast and finish with
amazing dunks. Can be dangerous without the ball, making cuts or using
screens. With the ball he can drive to the basket and finish or dish the
ball outside. Reads the game, has talent, understands the situations, and
he's also a very good passer. Excellent shooter who can hit the three's
coming off picks or off the dribble, he has an effective pull up jumper,
which allows him to finish penetrations in traffic. He can take his man on
the blocks, post-up smaller opponents and grab some offensive boards. Quick
and reactive on "D", he's smart, has anticipation and gets steals. Good on
team help and rotation. Has enough quickness to slide and contain even
smaller opponents. He is a REAL prime time player in Europe, and has some
chances also at Clippers.
