Stefan Lazarević ponovo crveno-beli
Stefan Lazarević dosadašnji član FMP-a i dete Crvene zvezde novo je pojačanje crveno-belih!
24-godišnji Lazarević igra na pozicijama beka i krila, visok je 198 centimetara i odlikuje ga izuzetno čvrsta i požrtvovana igra.
Stefan je ponikao u mlađim selekcijama Crvene zvezde, i kao kapiten je 2014. godine osvojio titulu prvaka Evrolige u Milanu.
Debitovao je za prvi tim crveno-belih u martu 2014. godine protiv ekipe Krke u ABA ligi i ostao do kraja sezone uz prvi tim.
Od 2015. godine konstantno je član FMP-a u kome je sakupljajući neophodno iskustvo godinama bio i jedan od oslonaca tima, a 2017.godine imao je kratku epizodu u crveno-belom i debi u Evroligi.
Pored igračkih kvaliteta, svoj karakter pokazao je i prilikom oporavka od teške povrede kolena koja ga je odvojila od terena godinu i po dana, ali je upornošću i velikim radom uspeo da se vrati na teren i postane još bolji u sezonama 2019-2020 i 2020-2021.
Stefan Lazarević je prošao sve mlađe selekcije reprezentacije Srbije (godište 1996) a u Crvenoj zvezdi svojoj kući, očekuje ga najveći izazov u dosadašnjoj karijeri!
