Aleksa Ristic brings pro-ready polish, but Indiana’s guard is still a small-sample project
In the 2025-26 season, Aleksa Ristic played 12 games for Indiana and averaged 0.5 points in 2.5 minutes per game, after missing the start of the year with a lower-body injury sustained in practice. The intriguing part is the profile: a 6-foot-3 Serbian guard with real professional experience, he was described as a sharpshooter and had produced 13.6 points, 3.2 rebounds and 4.2 assists in Serbia before arriving in Bloomington. He looks like a mature, skilled backcourt fit whose value lies in feel, shooting and poise more than raw box-score volume.
