Igor Marić potpisao za Zadar

Igor Marić i službeno je novi igrač Zadra. S iskusnim, 31-godišnjim šuterom dogovorena je jednogodišnja suradnja.

Marić je zadnje dvije godine igrao za slovačku Prievidzu, s kojom je prošle sezone osvojio naslov prvaka. Prethodno je igrao u Dubravi, Zaboku i Svjetlosti, te slovenskim klubovima šentjuru i Mariboru.

"Zadovoljni smo što smo se uspjeli dogovoriti s Marićem. On je značajno pojačanje za nas. On je igrač energije koji voli raditi, voli trenirati i njegovo iskustvo bit će od velike koristi našoj mladoj momčadi. Očekujemo da će poboljšati našu igru i dati primjer ostalim igračima. Po prirodi je dobar šuter, pun je samopouzdanja što se vidjelo u ogledu s Jollyem kad je ubacio 25 koševa, od čega 5 trica," rekao je sportski direktor Zadra Branko Skroče.

Prošle sezone Marić je u prosjeku postizao 14 poena, 5,7 skokova te 2,1 dodavanja po utakmici u slovačkom domaćem prvenstvu.
