UCR's Sharpshooting Freshman Sensation Turned Pro Baller Down Under
Dragan Elkaz burst onto the scene at UC Riverside in the 2021-22 season, setting a freshman record with 65 three-pointers made (third in Big West), playing all 33 games and starting 22 as a versatile 6'5" guard averaging 4.9 PPG career. His elite shooting range, rebounding grit (1.3 RPG), and high-energy play shone in box scores like 14 points vs. Nebraska (2019). Now 26, dominating Australian NBL1 East with Bankstown Bruins—highlighted by a 33-point explosion vs. Sydney—Elkaz's pro transition screams untapped scorer with international flair, perfect for teams needing perimeter pop and toughness.
