– This recognition is a meaning a lot for me, especially considering what kind of players before me won that award. Certainly, this is a great success and an incentive for me to continue working. First of all, I would like to thank my teammates for the support without which this would not be possible, the coaches and the coaching staff led by Vladimir Jovanovic on quality and hard work with me and the opportunity they gave me to show what I can do on the field, my family and everyone who supported me off the field. Thanks to Mega who believed in me who once again showed that she is the best club in Europe for working with young players and all this is just a confirmation that I made the best decision in my career so far when I decided to move to Mega last summer. We had a very good season in the ABA league, which we finished with 14 victories, which is certainly a great success, we were competitors for the playoffs until the near end and it is certain that we have reason to be satisfied. We turn to further commitments in the season and we keep working,
