Karlo Matkovic
New Orleans Pelicans/C/
CroatiaPlayer Info
Karlo Matkovic, the Croatian center for the New Orleans Pelicans, is a promising big man looking to carve out a role in the NBA. Standing at 6'10" with a solid frame, Matkovic was selected 52nd overall in the 2022 NBA Draft after developing his game in Europe, most notably with Cedevita Olimpija in his home country. His skill set is built around energy, rim protection, and finishing around the basket. He possesses good hands and mobility for his size, making him a capable pick-and-roll target and offensive rebounder. After spending time honing his craft overseas post-draft, Matkovic signed with the Pelicans, bringing a physical presence to their frontcourt rotation. While his NBA minutes have been limited as he adjusts to the league's pace, his development is a project the Pelicans are invested in, hoping his European experience and athletic tools translate into reliable depth at the center position.
