The Croatian has averaged 10.5 points and 5.3 rebounds in the four games this season, with two good games (against CSKA Moscow and Bayern Munich) and two less good ones (against Alba Berlin and Olympiacos).



"We have a very good, talented team, we are friends Good on and off the floor, "he told the Euroleague website." We will find our pace, we need to set high goals.

We will need time to get used to each other, but I think it is possible to reach the Final Four. "

Is my role model.

When I had options between Maccabi and other teams, I knew where I was going.
