The 27-year-old center arrives in Podgorica after a season with Śląsk Wrocław, where he competed in the Polish league and the EuroCup, and has signed a two-year contract with our club.
Last season in the Polish league, Stefan Đorđević averaged 11.9 points and 4.3 rebounds in just over 19 minutes on the court, while shooting an outstanding 67.2 percent from the field.
He is a center who scores a large share of his points where a center is needed most – right around the rim. He is very effective as a finisher in pick-and-roll situations, using his strength and good feel for space, and is particularly dangerous when he quickly attacks the basket after setting a screen.
His rebounding potential was best demonstrated in the season before his move to Śląsk. Playing for Arka Gdynia, he was the leading rebounder in the Polish league with 8.9 rebounds per game, while also ranking first in the league in average performance index rating at 24.2.
He developed as a basketball player within the Crvena zvezda system and later played for FMP and Vršac, before winning two Bosnian and Herzegovinian championship titles and two Bosnia and Herzegovina Cups with Igokea. After his time in Laktaši, his career took him to Girona in Spain, followed by Arka and Śląsk, with Podgorica now his next destination.
Đorđević already has experience playing in both the ABA League and the EuroCup, and in the new season he will be at the disposal of Budućnost Voli’s coaching staff.

Stefan Đorđević novi centar Budućnost Volija
Budućnost Voli pojačala je centarsku liniju za sezonu koja je pred nama, a novi košarkaš plavo-bijelih je Stefan Đorđević.
Dvadesetsedmogodišnji centar u Podgoricu stiže nakon sezone u Šljonsku iz Vroclava, sa kojim je nastupao u poljskom prvenstvu i Evrokupu, a sa našim klubom je potpisao ugovor na dvije godine.
Đorđević je prethodne sezone u poljskoj ligi prosječno bilježio 11,9 poena i 4,3 skoka za nešto više od 19 minuta na parketu, uz izuzetnih 67,2 odsto šuta iz igre.
Riječ je o centru koji veliki dio svojih poena pronalazi tamo gdje je centar najpotrebniji, neposredno oko obruča. Veoma je dobar u završavanju iz pik igre, koristi čvrstinu i dobar osjećaj za prostor, a posebno je opasan kada nakon postavljenog bloka brzo napadne obruč.
Njegov skakački potencijal najbolje je pokazala sezona prije dolaska u Šljonsk. U dresu Arke iz Gdinje bio je najbolji skakač poljskog prvenstva sa 8,9 uhvaćenih lopti po utakmici, ali i prvi igrač lige prema prosječnom indeksu korisnosti, koji je iznosio 24,2.
Košarkaški je odrastao u sistemu Crvene zvezde, igrao je potom za FMP i Vršac, prije nego što je sa Igokeom osvojio po dvije titule prvaka Bosne i Hercegovine i Kupa BiH. Nakon Laktaša, karijera ga je vodila u špansku Đironu, zatim u Arku i Šljonsk, a naredna stanica je Podgorica.
Đorđević iza sebe već ima iskustvo igranja u ABA ligi i Evrokupu, a u novoj sezoni staviće se na raspolaganje stručnom štabu Budućnost Volija.
