His fantastic play in the ABA League last season, averaging 13.7 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 2.7 assists per game, couldn’t go unnoticed.
Rising Star of the ABA League
Marković was named the rising star of the ABA League, confirming his talent and potential. Before the draft, he participated in the NBA draft combine in Treviso, Italy, where he met the biggest European talents. Being picked in the second round and sitting in the famous green room confirmed that the NBA recognizes his quality.
What This Means for Serbia
Another Serbian in the NBA means our country continues to produce top basketball talent. Bogoljub already won a gold medal with Serbia’s junior national team at the European Championship for under-18 players in Niš. He has also debuted for the senior team, showing he’s ready for big challenges.
Milwaukee Bucks – Bogoljub’s New Home
The Milwaukee Bucks are known as one of the strongest teams in the Eastern Conference. Whether Bogoljub will play immediately or first sharpen his skills remains to be seen, but one thing is sure – this is a night he will remember for life. And so will we!
