Another young, talented Montenegrin basketball player is continuing his career in the NCAA league - St. John's University today introduced Đorđi Jovanović as a new member.
St. John's is led by the legendary Rick Pitino, who did not hide his enthusiasm for hiring Jovanović.
"Giorgio is an experienced player, we are very excited to have him join us," said the famous Pitino.
Jovanović has been a member of Budućnost Voli since 2024. This season in the AdmiralBet ABA League he is averaging 5,3 points and 1,7 rebounds, while in the Eurocup he averaged 3,2 points and 1,6 rebounds. He has not finished the season with the "blues" yet, as the team is playing the ABA League semi-finals against Dubai, and the Montenegrin First League final against SC Derby awaits.
In the Buducnost jersey, Jovanović won the double crown last season, and also played in the ABA League final, while this season he won another trophy in the Cup.
Jovanović won a historic bronze medal with the Montenegrin youth national team at the European Championship in Podgorica four years ago, and is a regular member of the A team, with whom he participated in EuroBasket last year, where he averaged 6,2 points and three rebounds.
He also played for Partizan and the Ontario Clippers (development team of the Los Angeles Clippers).
