After two years at Gonzaga University, Filip Petrusev decided to start his professional career in his hometown of Belgrade, Serbia with Mega Bemax.

“I am very happy and excited to sign with Mega Bemax, as this is the best club for young players in all of Europe. We will play in the ABA League, which is a very strong competition and a perfect place to continue growing as a player. Everyone knows how many world-class players have been part of the Mega system. My goal is to follow in his footsteps and play in the NBA someday. “ Petrusev said.


The 20-year-old Serbian forward had an exemplary season leading the Gonzaga Bulldogs in scoring (17.5 points per game) and rebounding (7.9 per game). He was named the West Coast Conference Player of the Year.

He also had a strong summer with the Serbian team U19 at the 2019 World Cup that led him as the best player (27 PIR), averaging a double double (19.3 points, 10.1 rebounds). He won two gold medals for Serbian U18 teams at EuroBasket.

Petrusev announced in late April that he had testified for the NBA 2020 Draft, but that he had not hired an agent and that he would remain open about his future.

Serbian portal Nova first reported the agreement between the player and Mega Bemax.
