7-footer Aleksa Dimitrijevic is a developmental big with intriguing long-term upside
Aleksa Dimitrijevic, a 7-foot-1 freshman center for Creighton in the 2025 season, brings rare size, a pro-style background from Serbia, and the kind of rim protection that can quietly swing possessions. He arrived late, dealt with a broken nose in preseason, and then redshirted in 2025-26 so Creighton can keep building his body and skill set without burning eligibility. That makes him more long-term project than instant box-score star—but if you want a high-upside interior defender with international seasoning and patience baked in, this is a very believable fit.
