Team 2008-09: PARTIZAN BEOGRAD (Serbia-Superleague) Career: Partizan Beograd (Serbia-Superleague, 2004-09)
Velickovic has made colossal strides in improving his game lately. Progress endorsed when he scooped this years Euroleague Rising Star award and has been turning the heads of eager suitors towards Belgrade. He is still young but a major pulse within a talented Partizan team and some would say even the leader at just 22 years old. He has turned from a raw inside banger who could make a shot into a more versatile and well rounded forward who can do it all. Not the most athletic but smart and can grab game winning steals as well as making his team-mates better with his work off the ball. Only a lack of natural athleticism and worries he could end up being an NBA tweener go against this hugely talented forward now being courted by clubs across Europe. |
