Zadar have started with preparations for the new season. At the first team training head coach Aramis Naglić could count on 15 players, including some newcomers. Šime Špralja, Dino Cinc and two former players of Zadar Filip Kraljević and Ive Ivanov all appeared at the first training in the new season, while four of them should soon sign official contracts with the club.
Also, 208 cm tall power forward Domagoj Vuković is on a tryout, so he may as well become part of the 2017/18 roster of Zadar.
"I want my team to be serious, focused and dedicated to the things we are doing, because that is the only way to make a step forward. I expect that soon we will have couple more players on trainings, who can cover shooting guard and small forward positions. If we have enough will, optimism and character, I believe that we will all be satisfied at the beginning of the season," said Zadar head coach Aramis Naglić.
Recall that Zadar have stayed without 9 players since the last season, as Ivan Marinković, Boris Barać, Ivan Ramljak, Maj Kovačević, Lovro Mazalin, Aleksandar Georgiev, Mario Špaleta, Yannik Franke and Ivan Vraneš have all left the club.

Naglić poveo Zadar u novu sezonu
Košarkaši Zadra započeli su s pripremama za novu sezonu. Na prvom službenom treningu, stručnom stožeru Aramisa Naglića odazvalo se petnaestak igrača. Od novih imena, uz centra Šimu Špralju i krilnog igrača Dina Cinca koji već nekoliko dana treniraju na Višnjiku, pojavili su se i povratnici Ive Ivanov i Filip Kraljević koji bi u narednih nekoliko dana trebali potpisati ugovor sa Zadrom. Na svojevrsnom probnom roku je 208 centimetara visoki krilni centar Domagoj Vuković koji je prošle sezone nastupao za Vrijednosnice Osijek. 23-godišnji Vuković prije toga je nosio dres Kvarnera, Splita, Zagreba i Zaboka.
- Želja mi je da budemo ozbiljni, koncentrirani i posvećeni ovome što radimo jer jedino tako možemo napraviti korak naprijed. Očekujem da će nam se uskoro priključiti još nekoliko igrača, prvenstveno na pozicijama 2 i 3, jer smo dobro popunjeni na centarskim pozicijama i na 'jedinici'. Vjerujem da ćemo uz puno volje, optimizma i karaktera, na početku sezone svi zajedno biti zadovoljni - poručio je trener Zadra Aramis Naglić.
Podsjetimo, od prošlosezonske momčadi više nema Ivana Marinkovića, Borisa Baraća, Ivana Ramljaka, Maja Kovačevića, Lovre Mazalina, Aleksandra Yaneva Georgieva, Marija Špalete i Ivana Vraneša koji su tijekom ljeta pronašli nove klubove.
