Overseas Career

Before Drazen entered the NBA, he played basketball overseas in Europe. While in Europe, he played for two teams. He played for Cibona Zagreb and Real Madrid in both the Domestic League and European League. His scoring averages overseas are very impressive. His highest scoring average came in 1985-86 when he averaged 43.3 points per game in the Domestic League and 37 points per game in the European League. Petrovic’s high scoring continued throughout his time in Europe. He never averaged less than 27.4 points per game in DL or EL play.

Petrovic has gold medals in European and World championships. He also lead Yugoslavia to a silver medal in the 1988 summer Olympics. His whole body of work in Europe is amazing, and it is part of the reason why he was given a shot in the NBA.
