The Deacs have finally added what should the be the final piece of the 2026-27 basketball team with Slovenia’s Lukas Bojovic.

Visit extract-html.com for more information.

Bojovic is a 6-5 wing player who most recently played for the BC Partizan NiS Beograd U19 team in the Serbian ABA league. In the 2025-26 season, he averaged 22.2 points, 5.6 assists, 2.4 steals, and 3.2 rebounds per game while shooting 47% from the floor and 36% from beyond the arc. He put up a career high 34 points and 11 assists earlier this year in a game against Veba Basket where he was 10-13 from the floor and finished 12-12 from the free throw line.

Based on some of the highlights below, Bojovic looks like a very skilled wing scorer. He can shoot it from distance spotted up, off the dribble, or coming off screens. He appears to have a solid handle and can pull up on a dime and score–that could help the Deacs tremendously this season given how few players they have that can create their own offense. Just by the eye test he may need to add a little weight to be an effective defender in the ACC.

It’s always hard to tell how well overseas players will translate into D1 basketball, as its difficult to know just how competitive these leagues are in Europe. I would expect him to come off the bench behind Jamari McDowell or Justin Ray on the wing. The Deacs need all the help they can get, so this addition is better late than never.

Go Deacs!
