Cedevita began their training camp ahead of 2016/17 seaso

In Dom košarke, Cedevita has begun with their training camp. Mirza Begić and Duje Dukan are the newcomers, that have already begun with practices, while from last season there are Toni Katić and Karlo Žganec. Markus Lončar, Ivan Vučić, Karlo Mikšić and Ivan Zebić returned from loans and Darko Bajo was promoted from junior team.

Miro Bilan, Luka Babić, Marko Arapović, Filip Krušlin and Džanan Musa are with national teams, while Lovro Mazalin will spend the next season on loan.

David Stockton will join the preparations on Wednesday, Scotty Hopson is expected to arrive in a couple of days, while Marko Tomas is there to practice with the team while he seeks for his new team.

"We have lots of players missing. Four of them are with Croatia and Musa is with BiH national team. On Wednesday Stockton is set to arrive and Hopson will join us by the end of the week, so there will be six players to count on for sure and we are still searching for a point guard, that is also a prolific scorer. Until the beginning of the season there is six weeks and a half and we have lots of work to do during this preparation period. We need to prepare ourselves well, to create good chemistry inside the team, work on a day-to-day basis, to grow and this is just about it," head coach Veljko Mršić told on the first day of the training camp.

Dom košarke Cedevita is known as one of the best practicing facilities in Europe and the ABA League semi-finalists have all they require here and the head coach is satisfied with the conditions as well: "We have all that we need here, our arena and comfort. We also have outside courts, such as Mladost, Tuškanac, Maksimir, Sava, so we do not have a need to go anywhere. When the players that are currently with the national teams return and we are complete, we will leave for six or seven days to Istra or Slovenia, so we could raise the level of our teamwork. The rest we can do in Zagreb."

Cedevita započela pripreme

U Domu košarke su počele pripreme Cedevite. Na pripremama su se od novih igrača pojavili Mirza Begić i Duje Dukan. Od igrača koji su u Cedeviti bili i prošle sezone tu su Toni Katić i Karlo Žganec, s posudbe su vraćeni Markus Lončar, Ivan Vučić, Karlo Mikšić i Ivan Zebić, a iz juniora se pridružio Darko Bajo.

Miro Bilan, Luka Babić, Marko Arapović, Filip Krušlin i Džanan Musa su s reprezentacijama, a Lovro Mazalin sljedeću će sezonu provesti na posudbi.

David Stockton pripremama će se priključiti u srijedu, Scotty Hopson doći će za nekoliko dana, a dok traži novi angažman na pripremama s Cedevitom je i Marko Tomas.

"Imamo dosta izostanaka. Četvorica igrača su u našoj reprezentaciji, a Musa je u BiH. U srijedu nam dolazi Stockton, a do kraja tjedna će nam se priključiti Hopson, tako da ćemo imati šestoricu sigurnih igrača, uz to da još tražimo jednog scoring playmakera, razigravača koji ima koševe u rukama i koji će biti zamjena za Pullena. Do početka sezone imamo šest i pol tjedana i čeka nas obilan program u ovom pripremnom periodu. Trebamo se dobro pripremiti, napraviti dobru kemiju unutar momčadi, ići iz dana u dan, rasti i to je to," rekao je prvog dana priprema trener Veljko Mršić.

Dom košarke Cedevita jedan je od najboljih košarkaških trening-centara u Europi i ovdje polufinalisti ABA lige imaju sve što im treba, pa je trener zadovoljan uvjetima: "Imamo tu sve uvjete, našu dvoranu i komoditet. Imamo i vanjske terene, Mladost, Tuškanac, Maksimir, nasip na Savi, tako da nemamo nikakve potrebe odlaziti. Jedino ćemo, kad se vrate igrači koji su u reprezentaciji i kad se kompletiramo, otići na šest-sedam dana u Istru ili Sloveniju kako bi radili na koheziji momčadi. To je sasvim dovoljno i nije bilo nikakve potrebe da idemo negdje vani raditi pripreme u ovakvom sastavu koji imamo sada."
