Bucks Second-Rounder Markovic To Remain In Serbia

Bucks second-round pick Bogoljub Markovic will play overseas next season, making him a draft-and-stash prospect. Mega Superbet, the team that Markovic played for last season, announced via a team press release that he would soon rejoin the club as it preps for the 2025/26 season.

The 6’11” power forward was chosen with the No. 47 overall pick. Only one player taken ahead of him in the draft, the Celtics’ Amari Williams (No. 46), remains unsigned by their NBA team.

The Bucks didn’t have any room on their roster for the second-round selection — they have 15 players under standard contracts and all three two-way spots are filled.

Playing for the club also known KK Mega Basket, Markovic averaged 13.9 points, 6.9 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 29.2 minutes while appearing in 32 games last season. Markovic also appeared in five Summer League games with Milwaukee and hit double digits in points twice — a 14-point outing against the Clippers and a 12-point performance against the Heat.

The Serbian big man, just 20 years old, will now look to continue to expand his game in his home country.
