While the Spanish Players Association recently warned about the lack of representation of Spanish players in the ACB League, there is no denying that it offers plenty of chances for young players to compete and evolve at the highest level. And that applies not only to native Spanish players but also to youth players from all over the world.
That’s the case of Barcelona’s Leandro Bolmaro and Real Madrid B’s Tristan Vukcevic, two players with plenty of potentials that are set to do great things in the near future.
19-year-old Bolmaro impressed in Sunday’s contest against Valencia when he stepped foot on a game that was hanging on a thread. He filled his sheet with six points, two assists and a rebound over his 13 minutes on the court, but his overall presence was more than what was depicted on paper.

Bolmaro spent the previous season in Barcelona’s B squad in Liga LEB Oro and now he is making full use of his chance to compete against top-tier competitors.
At the same time, there is 16-year-old Tristan Vukcevic. Currently a player in Real Madrid B-team, he exited the game vs. Lanzarote on Sunday with 16 points, seven rebounds, three assists and three blocks for a PIR of 24.
At this pace, Vukcevic, son of former Real Madrid great Dusan Vukcevic, is not too far away from making it to the first team. Last summer, he joined the stacks of Real Madrid coming from Olympiacos‘ youth academies and is already setting solid foundations for his career in the future.
Here’s a glimpse:
With these two players in mind, we can rest assured that the future of Spanish League competitions is here and representation won’t be an issue. Talent knows no bounds or nationality!
