He collected a 27 valoration. 1.99 danish player returned to Denmark this summer from Germany (Ulm). Eurohopes talked with him.

 

"I want to improve as much possible and be consistent throughout the season, and define myself as a basketball player. Also I am a competitor so I want to beat either Bakken Bears or Svendborg for a spot in the finals, that they been dominating for many years". Jukic adds about the game that "we have a good chemistry, and I felt comfortable on the floor with the other guys. I didn't have the best shooting game so I tried to create for my teammates and just let the game come to me and focus on defense. It was only the first game though, so it's all about being consistent".
