Cedevita Olimpija has a new talented player in its ranks, whom they can count on in the coming seasons. It’s Saša Ciani, who was first seen by the Slovenian basketball fans on the big stage in the Koper Primorska jersey, and in the 2020/21 season he wore the jersey of Dynamic Belgrade. 18-year-old Ciani will spend the next four seasons in the Slovenian capital.
Saša Ciani made his first basketball steps in Nova Gorica, then moved to the Slovenian coast, and in Koper he was part of KOŠ Primorska and Koper Primorska. In the 2019/20 season, Ciani also played in four ABA League matches for Koper Primorska, but hasn’t entered the list of scorers while collecting two rebounds in a total of six minutes on court.
Saša Ciani also wore the Koper Primorska jersey in the U19 ABA League Championship, averaging 16.8 points, 12.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 3.4 blocks and 1.6 rebounds in five games in the 2019/20 season.
In the season that is behind us, Ciani played in the jersey of Belgrade's Dynamic, and in the Serbian National Championship he played in 21 games, spent an average of 9.7 minutes on the floor and scored 2.5 points and 2.3 rebounds per game.
As he agreed on cooperation with Cedevita Olimpija, Saša Ciani told: “I am very happy to join Cedevita Olimpija. I know that I made the right decision, as I will be given a place in Ljubljana to progress in my career, as Cedevita Olimpija has excellent conditions and here in Ljubljana it is well taken care of the work with young players. I’m very happy, and at the same time I can’t wait to join the team.”
