Veljko Ilic brings efficient interior scoring and board work to Sam Houston
In the 2025-26 season, Veljko Ilic emerged as a productive 6-10 graduate forward for Sam Houston, averaging 11.4 points and 6.5 rebounds while shooting 59.2% from the field, with four double-doubles and top-10 Conference USA marks in offensive rebounds, field-goal percentage, and free-throw percentage[1][2]. He’s a smart fit for teams needing a physical post presence: he finishes efficiently, rebounds his area, and has shown he can turn games by drawing fouls and scoring inside, plus he brings strong academics and a steady, low-drama profile[1][2].
