With him, Dragan Bender and Ante Zizic set to soon join a squad that already features Mario Hezonja, Dario Saric and the Rio Olympics’ leading scorer, Bojan Bogdanovic, Zubac envisions a future where Croatia has a chance to compete with the world’s best teams, including the United States.

Much of his pride for representing his country stems from his appreciation for those who fought for its independence, which was declared in 1991 — just six years before he was born.

His opportunity to play for his homeland will come in time, but for now he is happy to scrimmage alongside the others in purple and gold.


Prema ovom clanku Zubac doista zeli igrati za reprezentaciju kad se to spoji s trojcem Bogdanovic, Saric i Hezonja koji su vec pokazali da imaju nevjerovatnu zelju igrati za repku i Benderom te Zizicem ciji intervjuji pokazuju da zele igrati... Cini se da će toliko spominjana šestorka doista ostati na okupu i igrati za repku. To me nevjeroajatno veseli... Tko ce dočekat NBA da počne, a Eurobasket necu ni spominjati...
