Dubljevic has a laundry list of accolades in the EuroCup. He is a two-time champion with Valencia (2014 and 2019) and was named to the 2016-17 and 2018-19 All-EuroCup First Team and the 2011-12 and 2013-14 All-EuroCup Second Team. Dubljevic also has two EuroCup Rising Star Trophies and is the competition’s all-time leader in scoring (1,611 points), rebounds (758) and PIR (1,930). The big man knows what it takes to be a champion and when to step up big - and that is exactly what 'Dubi' did in his team's quarterfinals showdown against Boulogne Metropolitans 92.
Dubljevic came off the bench to post a double-double of 16 points and 13 rebounds, matching his career-high with the latter. He previously had 13 rebounds against Lokomotiv Kuban Krasnodar on January 14, 2015. Dubljevic made 5 of 7 two-pointers and all of his 3 free throws. He added 2 assists, 1 steal, 1 block and 7 fouls drawn for a PIR of 32, a new season-high and his third-best mark in his 137-game EuroCup career - all in less than 24 minutes on the floor. Dubljevic averaged 8.4 points and 5.5 rebounds in regular-season action and has been worth 15.5 points and 11.0 rebounds on average in the playoffs.
