Overview

Season 2016–17 saw Crvena zvezda parting ways with its two star players, Maik Zirbes and Quincy Miller, as well as Tarence Kinsey, Vladimir Štimac and Vasilije Micić. During the pre-season, the club signed Ognjen Kuzmić,[1] Milko Bjelica[2] and Charles Jenkins,[3] brought talented Petar Rakićević[4] and promoted Ognjen Dobrić from its development team.[5] When the season already began, the club brought on Nate Wolters who was waived by Detroit Pistons.[6] Squad was finally completed mid-season, with the addition of Deon Thompson to the roster.[7] Building on previous years tactics, Zvezda's trademark became its strong, aggressive defense, pressure on the ball, intercepting passes, steals and resulting fast breaks.[8] [9] In January 2017. coach Dejan Radonjić achieved his 200th victory leading Zvezda.[10] He also brought another Radivoj Korać Cup to the team.[11] Zvezda has ended the regular ABA league season with 25 wins on their record, while losing only once, which was the best regular season record made by any team in the history of the regional competition so far.[12] Team narrowly stayed out of Top 8, ending up on 9th place, having the same number of victories as 8th placed Darussafaka, but having worse head-to-head record. However, it decisively defended ABA league trophy, defeating Budućnost VOLI (2-1) and Cedevita (3-0) on its way.[13] In the domestic championship, Zvezda ended league part with the score of 13-1, defeated Mega Leks (2-0) and FMP (3-0) in the playoffs, and lifted another trophy.
