Personal Life

Career

Nemanja joined KK Partizan youth system and began his professional career with the Arkadia Traiskirchen Lions of the Austrian League.

 While in the team, the forward was drafted by the Washington Wizards with the 35th pick of the 2010 NBA draft and his rights were then traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Bjelica was then signed by Saski Baskonia on a five-year contract and his last season was the most successful in the club.

After his contract at Saski, he joined Fenerbahce Ulker led by one of Europe’s great coaches Zeljko Obradovic. He opted to stay at the club rather than being at the NBA, his main reason being his coach.
