Duşan, After his BSL carrier joined to Konyaspor Basketbol which competes in the TBL (2nd league).

He has averaged the highest stats of his carreer this season.

He is 2,20 cm tall and this makes him the tallest guy in the paint.

He doesn’t hesitate to use mid range shots as well as important weapons like agility in Pick and roll situations. His rebounding average is 8.3 pergame and it is one of the factors that makes his team run from defense to transition offense quickly.

Duşan’s most effective offensive spot is the low post. He prefers to attack from his right side. Actually he has a good shooting hand. If he catchs the ball at the right time, we can see his more evidently in catch & shoot cases near the high post area.

Especially with opponent’s Pick and Roll games he can cause problems that stops the player in high show up situations. So he generally stays in drop motion when the handler is active and defends the rim with his block threat ability.

I have no doubt that he will go back to BSL again, If Cantekin develops his athleticism, defensively and offensively and adds a stable percentage to his mid range shooting, he can see a better contract case for next season.
