Chicago Bulls international prospect target: Roko Prkačin, Cibona (Croatia)
Roko Prkačin is an interesting NBA prospect at the young age of 18 years old. He is a six-foot-nine wing that projects as somewhat of a tweener between the three and the four.
As we all know, the NBA is moving toward a positionless game, and players that are versatile are much more important than players that fit the typical position description. Prkačin is a good player that just needs to be on the court, regardless of which forward spot you want to call it.

He will need to bulk up most likely but plays a unique game due to his frame and length. Prkačin is a good ball-handler, especially for a player of his size.
The Croatian forward projects as a do it all kind of player that might need more seasoning before he is ready to handle true NBA-level minutes. Still, he could develop into an interesting sixth man and even starter for a team like the Bulls playing alongside current rookie Patrick Williams.
His outside shooting needs some work, but he has shown the ability to knock them down at different times in his young career. In the Adriatic League this season he knocked down the three-point shot at a 39.4 percent clip on three attempts per game.
Due to the unique ability and physical traits he has there seems to be a wide range on where he could go in the NBA draft. If there is one thing we know about Arturas Karnisovas, though, it is that he will go get his guy if his guy is available.
