Oral Roberts men’s basketball coach Paul Mills has signed Luka Tekavcic, who will join the program for the 2021-22 season.
“Luka is an extremely skilled player who has elite skills that will translate to college quickly,” Mills said. “He has done well during FIBA competitions for his home country in Slovenia. He played high school basketball in Florida, so he has already become acclimated to the game in America. He has a very high ceiling and we are looking forward to his development as a member of the Golden Eagles.”
A 6-10 forward, Tekavcic played three games for Nutrispoint Ilirija in the Slovenian Second Basketball League last fall scoring 5.3 points per game along with 3.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists.
He prepped at Central Pointe Christian Academy in Kissimmee, Florida, before competing in the Adidas Next Generation Tournament in the spring.
He averaged 11.1 points and 6.4 rebounds per game for Slovenia during the 2018 U16 European Championships with a 25-point, 11-rebound double-double against Montenegro.
