Takeaways from the addition of Ivan Matlekovic to the UNC basketball roster

Posted Aug 4, 2025
The addition of 7-foot High Point transfer Ivan Matlekovic is a low-risk move. He is the 13th member of the 2025-26 UNC Basketball roster, so he is an extra piece for Hubert Davis to have. If it isn't able to make valuable contributions in games it is no great loss. Coach Davis has done this before to a degree with players like Justin McKoy and Ty Claude. (TarHeel247)
