From Euroleague to US, Savo Drezgić Joins DME Basketball Program
Athlete+ is excited to announce Savo Drezgić's move from Euroleague basketball and Partizan BC to DME Academy, Florida. This transition, happening this January, is a testament to Drezgić's exceptional talent and commitment to developing his academic and athletic careers.
Athlete+, a consulting agency dedicated to supporting international talent within the U.S. high school and university system, has facilitated Drezgić's move to DME Academy, positioning him in front of NCAA and NBA scouts.
"Savo has played at the highest levels in Europe, and now he will get the chance to play against the best competition here in the United States (USA). He’s a very talented player and comes from a great family. He and his brother Lazar will be great additions to DME Academy, and we are very excited to see what the future holds for them here at DME!", said Matt Panaggio, Director of Men's Basketball at DME Academy.
DME Academy, recognized for nurturing young talent and producing top NBA & NCAA players such as Keegan and Kris Murray, offers an ideal setting for Drezgić's seamless transition.
The academy's commitment to academic and athletic development aligns with Drezgić's aspirations, promising a transformative experience both on and off the court.
Drezgić himself is thrilled about the opportunities ahead. "Partizan is my home and it provided me with invaluable experiences, but joining DME Academy brings an exciting new challenge. The shift from European to American basketball is a significant step for me, and I'm eager to learn, adapt, and contribute. This move isn't just about elevating my game; it's about creating new possibilities for my future." said Drezgić.
Athlete+'s role in facilitating Drezgić's move underscores their dedication to bridging the gap between raw talent and global opportunities. This step is not just a career move for Drezgić but a journey towards personal and professional growth.
