Johnson First Signing of SC Derbi: Podgorica Basketball Club Building a Real Team!
The Podgorica basketball club SC Derbi is not stopping with reinforcements! The first big signing for the upcoming season is Darius Johnson, a point guard who played brilliantly for four years at the University of Central Florida (UCF). Johnson left a deep mark in the NCAA, finishing as the eighth all-time leading scorer in the program, fourth in three-pointers made, third in assists, and second in steals.
Johnson’s arrival is a real bombshell for SC Derbi, as he comes from a basketball family — his father Calvin played for Richmond, and his brother Xavier for Southern Illinois. He is known for his exceptional shooting skills, especially from beyond the arc, and his excellent defense. Last season, he averaged impressive stats: 17.4 points, 4.4 assists, 3.4 rebounds, and 2.5 made three-pointers per game.
SC Derbi will not only compete in domestic competitions next season but will also make its debut on the European stage through the FIBA Champions League qualifiers. This is a huge step for the Podgorica club and a sign that they want to seriously compete at a higher level.
But that’s not all! The Podgorica club Bemax also brought in reinforcements — Aleksi Bulajić, a point guard from the German Pro B league, who averaged 7.5 points in 14 games. He expressed great joy about returning to Montenegro and playing for a serious organization with one of the best infrastructures in the region.
It’s clear that Podgorica clubs don’t want to be mere spectators in regional basketball. They are building serious teams, bringing in experienced and quality players, and are ready to fight for the top. Is this the beginning of a new era of basketball in Podgorica? Time will tell, but one thing is certain — SC Derbi and Bemax are ready to light up the court!
