Efficient UIC forward with a nose for buckets
In the 2025-26 season, Ante Beljan has been an efficient frontcourt piece for UIC, scoring 7.4 points per game on 62.9% shooting and showing he can flip a game in short bursts off the bench[9][13]. At 6-foot-8 and 220 pounds, he brings interior touch, physicality, and a high-percentage shot diet, highlighted by 22 points on 10-of-12 shooting against Saint Francis (IL) and 16 points on 8-of-11 in a win over Illinois State[14][6]. He looks like a strong fit for teams needing a polished, low-drama, efficient forward who finishes plays rather than needing them built for him[2][9].
