Nikola Dzepina is a high-upside Serbian forward with emerging two-way pop
Dzepina entered Washington as a 6-foot-10 freshman forward from Belgrade and, in the 2025-26 season, averaged 2.6 points, 1.3 rebounds, and 0.7 assists in 14 games, but his real draw is the upside: he’s a long, mobile frontcourt piece who’s already flashed more physicality and production in international play, including standout runs for Serbia at FIBA U20 EuroBasket. He looks like a fit for a team that can be patient with development and values length, motor, and future versatility over instant stardom.
