Ante is a warrior with experience at Europe's highest level. Has competed in the Euroleague and the Saporta Cup with Split. One of the best defensive players in the continent. Always in position to take a charge, get a steal, recover a lost ball or cover for a teammate. Plays much bigger than his height because his heart is much bigger than the average player. Will outwork any opponent. Effective scorer on the block and can shoot the foul line jumper or begin a series of one on one moves from there.
