Filip Runjo is a 6’11” Class of 2026 center from Belgrade, Serbia, competing for Christ The King High School and Riverside Hawks UAA 17U.
With a 3.8 GPA and a mature approach to the game, Runjo combines size, discipline, and feel.
He plays with patience in the post, understands spacing concepts, and consistently impacts the defensive end.
His development trajectory points toward a high-ceiling frontcourt prospect.
Strengths:
• Legitimate 6’11” size with strong hands and reliable interior touch
• Advanced footwork and patience on the block
• Effective rim protector with timing and verticality
• Runs the floor well and finishes in transition
• Strong rebounder on both ends
• Communicates defensively and understands positioning
• Shows comfort stepping into mid-range jumpers
Areas to Improve:
Continue developing lateral mobility for defending quicker forwards in space. Add strength to anchor against older, physical bigs. Extend shooting consistency beyond 15 feet.
Projected Role:
Multi-year high-major rotation center with the potential to develop into a two-way anchor. Can thrive in structured systems that utilize post touches, pick-and-roll action, and drop coverage defensively.
