Vlatko Cancar, born on April 10, 1997, in Koper, Slovenia, began his basketball journey with the youth teams in Slovenia. Standing at 6 feet 8 inches and weighing 236 pounds, Cancar quickly showcased his potential as a versatile forward. His early career highlights include playing for Olimpija Ljubljana, where he honed his skills and caught the attention of international scouts.
Cancar is known for his versatility on the court, capable of playing both forward positions. His strengths include a reliable shooting touch from beyond the arc and the ability to drive to the basket, making him a dual-threat offensive player. Defensively, Cancar's size and agility allow him to guard multiple positions, providing valuable flexibility to his team's lineup.
Drafted by the Denver Nuggets in the 2017 NBA Draft as the 49th overall pick, Cancar made his NBA debut in the 2019-2020 season. He has since contributed to the Nuggets' depth, offering solid minutes off the bench. While still early in his NBA career, Cancar's international experience and adaptability have been key assets, particularly during playoff runs.
