Strengths: Tripkovic is very skilled guard and great shooter who can hit 3's, mid-range jumpers and can finish with the lay-up ... He is one of the best young guards in Europe ... He is a natural scorer, but also he is capable of finding other players for shots ... Handles the ball very well in the open court with good speed ... Was coming off the bench last year, but this year he improved a lot and is a starter now ... He uses screens very well and moves well without the ball (loves to take shots coming off screens) ... A player that you can not leave open around three point line ... He has great release on his shot and very good mechanics (has NBA 3 point range) … Able to create his own shots off the dribble … Very quick player who can run up and down the court very well ... Has good body control and can even block some shots … Good free throw shooter … Tripkovic played PG when he was younger and now he is used more at SG … Loves to play pick and roll …

Weaknesses: Right now he's not tough and aggressive enough to play at the next level ... He also needs to add some weight to play in the NBA ... Not freak of an athlete but very quick player and can explode ... Has to be more explosive off the dribble ... Tries to do too much with the ball sometimes … Very poor defensively and does not fight through picks hard enough ... Lacks experience … His leadership will improve over time playing in Europe ... Has trouble against pressure on the floor, and will turn the ball over from time to time ... Defensively he struggles against more athletic and stronger players… Lacks a great first step on offense …
