Do you know the story of a Slovenian guard who came up with Olimpija Ljubljana, moved to Real Madrid, and was hailed as of the top prospects of his generation? No, this is not about Luka Doncic, even if the path of Ziga Samar is similar.
Hot on the heels of Doncic, another player from Slovenia, two years younger than him, moved to Spain. He won the 2019 Adidas Next Generation Tournament and he is the next big thing out of the Balkan country. And while it's unfair for anyone to be compared to a generational talent like Doncic, Samar is already leaving his mark on the 7DAYS EuroCup, where he plays with Veolia Towers Hamburg on loan after signing last summer with traditional German power ALBA Berlin.
