Dejan is a versatile player that can be used on more positions and his main value is his high IQ, passing abilities and ability to stretch the floor. He can be seen as a point forward who can dribble, shoot and pass the ball. In his Euroleague seasons with Zvezda he showed that he is a team first player who is not selfish but likes to connect the guards and the bigs. I wish him to have a successful role in our system and in our club.

I am very excited to join legendary club, CSKA. I have never played out of Serbia, and I’m happy that my first step abroad will be in the team with that kind of reputation. It’s a big honor for me to continue Serbian history in CSKA, after names like Ivkovic, Krstic, Teodosic… All of us will have big motivation next year, to get VTB League trophy back.
