Vukcevic tallied 15 points (4-13 FG, 2-8 3PT, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds and one assist across 26 minutes of Saturday's 90-85 loss to the Bulls during Summer League.
Vukcevic took on an expanded role Saturday with several Wizards players sidelined for the team's Summer League finale and delivered 15 points to pair with a team-high eight rebounds. Though he's showcased the ability to stretch the floor at 6-foot-11, Vukcevic likely will need more time to develop before seeing meaningful NBA minutes.

Wizards' Tristan Vukcevic: Chosen by Washington at No. 42
Rotowire
Vukcevic was selected by the Wizards with the 42nd overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft.
Vukcevic spent the 2021-22 campaign with KK Partizan in Serbia and will now attempt to carve out a role in the NBA. The big man has solid handling abilities and can finish at the rim, but he also shot 37.3 percent from beyond the arc last year. However, Vukcevic requires some work if he hopes to make an impact in the NBA. It's unclear whether he'll come to the NBA for the 2023-24 campaign or remain overseas.
