Baskonia adds Ognjen Jaramaz to its backcourt mix
Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz has added another piece to its 2024-25 roster by signing combo-guard Ognjen Jaramaz to a one-year deal, the club announced Tuesday.
Jaramaz (1.93 meters, 28 years old) has spent last season with Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade. In the 2023-24 campaign, he averaged 3.2 points and 1.5 assists, playing 13 minutes per game in 22 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague appearances. Jaramaz also posted 4.0 points and 3.0 assists in ABA League action last season.
The Serbian guard is a veteran of three EuroLeague campaigns, having spent the first two with FC Bayern Munich in 2021-22 and 2022-23. He has played a total of 83 games in the competition, including 22 starts.
Prior to his time at Bayern, Jaramaz played two and a half seasons with Partizan, where he was one of the team leaders and helped the side capture back-to-back Serbian Cups. He also appeared in 26 BKT EuroCup games with the club.
Jaramaz is a product of Partizan's youth system but moved to Mega Belgrade, where he made his professional debut in 2013. He also played half of a season with Burgos in Spain.
At youth level, Jaramaz was a member of Serbia's gold-medal winning team at the 2015 U20 European Championship and also won a bronze at the same tournament a year earlier. He is a member of the Serbian national team.
