Žiga Dimec joins Cedevita Olimpija

Cedevita Olimpija will have a lot of strength next season under both rims, as Žiga Dimec, decided to join Ljubljana’s club. He will stay in Stožice for the upcoming two seasons.

Golden Dragons from 2017, Jaka Blažič and Edo Murić, will join forces with the rest of their teammates next season with a teammate from the Slovenian national team, which ensured the greatest success in the history of Slovenian basketball at EuroBasket 2017. Žiga Dimec, 211 centimeters tall, who wore the Koper Primorska jersey last season, is moving to Ljubljana.
In the jersey of the Koper team, Dimec played 20 games in the ABA League in the 2019/20 season and scored 6.7 points and 3.6 rebounds per game in 14.7 minutes. In the Slovenian National Championship, he wore the Koper Primorska jersey in 18 matches and scored 9.7 points and 5.0 rebounds per game in just over 18 minutes.

Dimec, a 27-year-old giant from Celje, began his professional basketball career in 2010 in the Zlatorog jersey from Laško. In the 2010/11 season, he trained as a loan player in Konjice, but in 2014 he transferred to Rogaška, and the following year to Novo mesto's Krka, where he remained until 2018. He started the 2018/19 season in the German media Bayreuth, at the end in November 2018, he moved to Lithuania to Lietkabelis. Before the start of the 2019/20 season, Koper Primorski joined and won the Spar Cup title with the 'Tigers'.

In 2020, Dimec also played in both EuroBasket 2022 qualifying matches, scoring three points in the match against Austria.

Žiga Dimec told as he signed with Cedevita Olimpija: “The feelings are good. I know a lot of my teammates, some from the National Team, and some from Koper Primorska. I also know a lot about the system of play of our head coach Jurica Golemac. I can't wait for the season to begin.”

Žiga Dimec nova okrepitev Cedevite Olimpije

Košarkarski klub Cedevita Olimpija bo v prihodnjih dveh sezonah pod obema obročema močnejša za Žigo Dimca, ki se je ljubljanskemu moštvu pridružil pred začetkom tekmovalne sezone 2020/21.

Zlata Zmaja iz leta 2017, Jaka Blažič in Edo Murić, bosta s preostalimi soigralci v prihodnji sezoni znova združila moči s soigralcem iz slovenske reprezentance, ki je na EuroBasketu 2017 poskrbela za največji uspeh v zgodovini slovenske košarke. V Ljubljano se namreč seli 211 centimetrov visoki Žiga Dimec, ki je v minuli sezoni nosil dres Koper Primorske.

V dresu koprskega moštva je Dimec v sezoni 2019/20 v Ligi ABA zaigral na 20 tekmah in v 14,7 minutah dosegal 6,7 točke ter 3,6 skoke na tekmo. V slovenskem državnem prvestvu je dres Koper Primorske nosil na 18 tekmah in v malo več kot 18 minutah na obračun beležil 9,7 točke in 5,0 skokov na tekmo.

Dimec, 27-letni velikan iz Celja, je svojo profesionalno košarkarsko pot začel leta 2010 v dresu Zlatoroga iz Laškega. V sezoni 2010/11 se je sicer kot posojeni košarkar kalil v Konjicah, leta 2014 pa je prestopil v Rogaško, naslednje leto pa v novomeško Krko, kjer je ostal vse do leta 2018. Sezono 2018/19 je začel v nemškem medi Bayreuthu, konec novembra 2018 pa se je preselil v Litvo k Lietkabelisu. Pred začetkom sezone 2019/20 se je pridružil Koper Primorski, in s 'tigri' osvojil naslov prvaka Pokala Spar.

V letu 2020 je Dimec zaigral tudi na obeh tekmah kvalifikacij za EuroBasket 2022, in vknjižil tri točke na obračunu z Avstrijo.

Žiga Dimec, igralec KK Cedevita Olimpija: "Občutki so dobri. Z novimi soigralci se dobro poznam, z nekaterimi iz reprezentance, z drugimi pa iz Koper Primorske. Tudi sistem igre glavnega trenerja Jurice Golemca mi je poznan iz prejšnje sezone. Komaj čakam, da se nova sezona začne, in da pokažem, kaj znam."
