Sensational transfer: The young Serbian basketball player from Zlatibor goes straight to the recent NCAA champion!

This summer has brought us great turbulence in the basketball market, primarily among young players, who have decided to continue their careers in colleges all over the United States of America. Countless great basketball players have already joined the preparations for the upcoming season on campuses, and there will be one more among them starting today, as a rather sensational transfer has been announced.

Namely, the young Uroš Paunović is going straight from Zlatibor to the ranks of the March Madness champions from 2024, the Connecticut (UConn) team, which was confirmed by the American analyst for the college market and recent ESPN journalist Jonathan Jivoni, referring to the agent Matija Mihailović.

The defender of Zlatibor gained a lot of experience playing for the team from Čajetina, both in the Basketball League of Serbia and in the regional ABA League 2, and on average he spent about 22 minutes on the court per game. In addition, he performed with his age group for the Serbian national team at the Eurobasket for players up to 20 years old.

In addition to Zlatibor, Paunović also played for Dinamik Belgrade in his senior career, and in the ABA 2 league last season for Zlatibor, with whom he reached the semi-finals, he recorded an average of 5.4 points with 1.8 rebounds and 1.7 assists per match.

In addition, Paunović was named player of the round in the Basketball League of Serbia several times.



Senzacionalan transfer: Mladi srpski košarkaš iz Zlatibora ide pravo u skorašnjeg NCAA šampiona!
 
It’ll be interesting seeing how guys like Uros transition to college basketball. So many teams have a random veteran European wildcard on their roster.
 
If he were a 7’ Serbian center that play professionally I would get it

Edit- just saw the elazy thread sweet. Absolutely loaded.
 
I understand the big guy depth, but another guard for this year?
 
Wow these surprising Euro moves by Hurley makes a lot of us look like casual fans today.
 
I am looking forward to more details on these new euro kids, confirmation that they are this year's class (sounds like they are), how many years of eligibility, are they potential rotation pieces or 3rd string development or practice players, etc. While on one hand it would be pretty wicked if they were good enough to play right now, I would be concerned about team chemistry. If these guys are good enough now to be in the rotation, that's A LOT of mouths to feed and someone's gonna get hurt.
