Farewell, Nemanja Djurisic

Let's take a moment to appreciate those who won't be lacing them up again for the Bulldogs next season.

Now You Know

Since 1997-98 (the time period available at www.sports-reference.com/cbb), Nemi is top 20 in career SEC minutes played (3188), offensive rebounds (209), and defensive rebounds (372).

My Favorite Nemanja Djurisic Moment

It's hard to pick one moment with Nemi, and that's simply because there were too many great moments to choose from.  His skill was evident from the first time he took the court, and his improvement was steady and, ultimately, quite dramatic by the time his senior year rolled around.

I loved his little soccer volleys before inbounds plays.  I loved his shooter's mentality (the next one is always going in).  I loved his slow-but-effective European post moves.

But my favorite moment comes from way back in January, 2014.  That's when Georgia announced themselves as a player in the SEC by going on the road and beating Missouri, and it never would have happened if not for Mr. Djurisic.

Farewell, Nemanja.  You're a DGD, and you're welcome around these parts anytime.
