Slovenia’s Luka Rupnik (’93) KILLIN’ Future Stars 2011!

By Sam Neter on October 25, 2012

In the near three years I’ve been covering basketball with Hoopsfix, I have seen very few as consistently dominant performances than Slovenia’s Luka Rupnik over the course of three days at Future Stars in 2011.

The 6’0″ point guard brought it every single game, splashing threes, making crazy dishes and controlling the tempo from start to finish. Later that summer he headed to the U18 European Championships, leading Division A in assists (5.7 per outing), along with 17.3 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.9 steals per game, before then becoming the youngest player (if my memory serves me correctly) at the 2011 Eurobasket.

He is currently under contract with Union Olimpija in his native Slovenia.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
