Even if he's already 22 years old, Klobucar is still a good Slovenian prospect. He was selected in the national team for the first time in 2007 for the EuroBasket but he didn't get much playing time. This season he played for the first time in the EuroLeague. In June he participated in the Reebok pre-draft Eurocamp and made a great impression, shooting from behind the three-point line. But Jaka struggles to perform against older opponents because of a lack of mental and physical toughness. Playing with leaders like Lakovic and Smodis could be priceless for him to improve on this facet of the game.
