Cedevita Olimpija podaljšala pogodbo z Rokom Radovićem!
Košarkarski klub Cedevita Olimpija z veseljem sporoča, da je podaljšal pogodbo z občasnim slovenskim reprezentantom in otrokom košarkarske družine Cedevita, Rokom Radovićem. Nova pogodba, ki bo 24-letnega krilnega igralca zadržala v Zmajevem gnezdu do konca sezone 2026/27, potrjuje zavezo kluba k razvoju domačih igralcev in krepitvi ekipe za prihodnje izzive v domačih in mednarodnih tekmovanjih.
Rok Radović, 200 cm visok občasni slovenski reprezentant, je svojo pot pri Cedeviti Olimpiji začel že leta 2016, ko se je pridružil mlajšim kategorijam kluba, takrat še pod okriljem zagrebške Cedevite. Leta 2019 je pri 18 letih podpisal svojo prvo profesionalno pogodbo, od takrat pa je z vztrajnostjo in trdim delom postal pomemben člen ljubljanske ekipe. V sezoni 2024/25 je Radović znova dokazal svojo vrednost, saj je postal eden od ključnih členov moštva v regionalni Ligi ABA in evropskem pokalu BKT EuroCup, hkrati pa s svojo vsestranskostjo in energijo na parketu navduševal navijače.
"Ob podpisu nove pogodbe sem zelo vesel. Komaj čakam, da se z ekipo znova zberemo in začnemo z novo tekmovalno sezono," je ob podpisu nove pogodbe z Ljubljančani povedal Rok Radović.
V sezoni 2024/25 je Rok Radović v povprečju dosegal 5,4 točke, 2,5 skokov in 0,7 asistence na tekmo v regionalni Ligi ABA. Njegova igra ga je uveljavila kot igralca, na katerega se lahko glavni trener Zvezdan Mitrović zanese na obeh straneh igrišča, torej tako v obrambi, kot tudi v napadu. Z Zmaji je Radović še tretjo sezono zapored osvojil tudi vse tri domače lovorike. Podaljšanje pogodbe z Radovićem je del strategije kluba, ki stremi k dolgoročni stabilnosti in razvoju domačih igralcev.
