ACC Basketball: Top 15 impacts players in 2019 recruiting class
15. Balsa Koprivica, Florida State Seminoles
Balsa Koprivica emerged this past season as a top big man in the 2019 recruiting class and it’s no surprise head coach Leonard Hamilton and company snagged him for the Florida State Seminoles. The Seminoles will be looking to rebuild their frontcourt in 2019-20 with the departure of Mfiondu Kabengele to the NBA and Chris Koumadje to graduation. Koprovica is a 7-foot, 240-pound center that is skilled around the rim and on the perimeter.
He spent his final three seasons at Montverde Academy (FL), where he developed as a big man that can score in the post with a variety of post moves as well as excel in the pick-and-roll game as a roller and an option in the pop game.
He isn’t afraid to bang down low and is a solid runner rim-to-rim. He protects the paint and moves well for a big of his size and isn’t afraid to finish with authority above the rim. Look for him to make an impact in the Seminoles rotation next season.
