Luka Pesic

by Carl Berman
written by Carl Berman

Not NCAA D1 athleticism, but a highly skilled PG with strong potential to develop into a quality player by his junior and senior years. He is currently making an impact for Hoosac School, competing in the NAPSEC AAA league.

One of Luka’s standout performances came against Vermont Academy, where he recorded 20 points, 3 assists, and 4 rebounds.

His father, Marko Pešić, is the General Manager of Bayern Munich (EuroLeague), and his grandfather, Svetislav Pešić, is a legendary coach who led the Serbian National Team to great success.

Any program that gives Luka an opportunity would not only gain a skilled player but also establish strong connections within Germany and Europe’s basketball world.
