With plenty of high hopes for a deep March run, the BBN is excited to see this roster finally get to work.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">One of the biggest mysteries on this roster this season, though, is Croatian big man Andrija Jelavic. After finally arriving in Lexington this past week, we will start to get a sense of how talented the European really is.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">How good do many expect him to be, though? Well, according to NBA Draft On-Point, Jelavic is ranked as a top-20 international prospect in college basketball next season. Jelavic comes in ranked at No. 20 on the list of 50 players. He is the 4th-ranked international player according to the rankings in the SEC.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Going to be interesting to see how Jelavic does in Pope\u2019s system. Should be a fun time watching his game develop this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mark Pope and his staff have built a solid roster for their second season in Lexington.
