Aleksa Popovic brings size, touch, and proven interior grit to Cleveland State

Aleksa Popovic is a 6-9 forward whose college path started at Cleveland State in the 2018-19 season, and his profile has long been defined by toughness, rebounding, and efficient finishing around the basket. In his Cleveland State season, he played in 13 games and posted 0.9 points and 1.0 rebounds per game, but his stronger production came later at McKendree and in pro basketball, where he showed better shooting and steady frontcourt utility. He looks like the kind of glue big who can defend, battle on the glass, and give your lineup some old-school physicality with a European skill base.
