USC Upstate Alum Turned Slovenian Pro Scoring Machine
Jure Span, the 6'4" Slovenian swingman who graduated from USC Upstate in 2019, is lighting it up in the 2025-26 international season with KK Tajfun Sentjur, averaging 11.4 PPG, 1.9 RPG, and sharp playmaking in Slovenia's Liga OTP banka—far surpassing his college marks of 5.0 PPG and 3.3 APG (per ESPN). His versatile guard skills, international experience, and scoring punch make him a dynamic bench spark or starter; perfect fit for teams needing efficient, battle-tested Euro talent with no injury red flags. Why care? He's proving pros abroad what Upstate fans knew—he's a hidden gem ready to elevate any roster.
