The defending BKT EuroCup champion Dreamland Gran Canaria added another piece to the paint on Friday by signing big man Roko Prkacin on a one-year deal. Prkacin (2.06 meters, 20 years old) has played with Basquet Girona last season, posting 6.5 points and 3.7 rebounds playing 17 minutes per game in the Spanish League.
Prkacin grew up with Cibona Zagreb and has been one of the most sought after young players on the continent ever since earning MVP award for leading Croatia to a gold medal at the U16 European championship in 2018. Following that success, he made his professional debut on-loan with a Croatian second division club Rudes Zagreb that same year, and returned to Cibona that same season, helping the team win the 2019 domestic league title. Prkacin spent the next three seasons with Cibona, where he became one of the youngest team captains in club history, and leading the team to the Croatian double, league and club titles in 2022.
Prkacin has also been a member of the Croatian national team since 2020, and is now set to make his EuroCup debut wearing the jersey of the reigning champs.
