Jovana Popovic is one of the most talented and promising young players in Europe.
Despite being just 17 years old, Popovic averaged 10.3 points (59 percent from the field), 3.2 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 2.8 steals per game in the First Women’s Basketball League of Serbia. She can play as a point guard, shooting guard or wing, as she did this season for ZKK Mega MIS Beograd, which lost only one game in the regular season and won its first league championship this year.
When and how did you get into basketball, and how did you land in Mega MIS?
I started practicing basketball when I was nine. After swimming practice, I went to see one basketball practice and I liked it a lot, so I started practicing basketball. I came to Mega last year, when coach Milan Vidosavljevic called me. I wanted to take a step forward and to transfer to Mega.
