Blaz Mesicek signs two-year deal with Petrol Olimpija

Petrol Olimpija will be stronger at the positions 1, 2 and 3 in the forthcoming season, after the team was reinforced by Slovenia national team member Blaž Mesiček, who is coming back to the Dragon’s lair after two seasons spent in Italy with Brindisi.

Blaž used to play for the Dragons already in the 2015/16 and 2016/17 seasons, after his good performances for the youth categories of the club of Ljubljana and LTH Castings of Skofja Loka had pawed him the way towards the Petrol Olimpija senior team. He began his career in his hometown of Grosuplje.

21-year old and 197 cm tall guard averaged 9.9 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.2 assists and valuation of 8.9 per game in the Italian National Championship last season.

Blaž Mesiček stated upon his return amongst the green and white: „I am very happy that I am back in the green-and-white jersey of Petrol Olimpija. This is a very nice opportunity for me, as I will try to prove myself once again to the Ljubljana's fans. I would like to thank to the club management upon calling me back in the Dragons line. We have a young team, so we have a lot of work to do, but I think that I will managed to find myself in this situation very well, and that we will do well together.“
