Several European teams have approached Boban Marjanovic, but he keeps on hoping that he will soon get a proposition from the NBA to continue his career in the United States.
The Serbian giant had an excellent season with Crvena Zvezda smashing several “haunted” records in the Euroleague. His name has been linked with many top European teams, like Barcelona and Efes, but his desire is different. As he says to Eurohoops.net: “I know about the prospects that exist in Europe, but I want to play in the NBA. I want to wait and if a good proposition comes from there I want to try and play in the NBA.”
What is his wish in order for him to continue wreaking havoc with his moves in the paint?
“I have to stay at this level. You need everything in order to play well, to be healthy, to be well mentally and to feel good in your team.”
Was the environment of Crvena Zvezda ideal for him to have his break out season? Was it easier for him that he played there?
“Of course, and it was easier with these amazing teammates, the excellent coach and the fans. It was very important for a player like me to have all these things aligned perfectly in order for me to have this excellent season.”
