Croatian players in NBA: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Croatian_NBA_players ABA League (Regional League) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABA_League Croatian basketball team: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croatia_men's_national_basketball_team Croatian basketball is returning on those much more nicer time periods. So, it would be nice to mention this new chapter of Croatian basketball. EURO 2017 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EuroBasket_2017 Croatian basketball players currently play in NJ Nets, Philadelphia 76ers, Orlando Magic, Phoenix Suns, LA Lakers. They are: Bojan Bogdanovic, Dario Saric, Damjan Rudez, Mario Hezonja, Dragan Bender, Filip Zubac. Beside Damjan Rudez, others could leave nice trace in NBA and they are/will become future Croatian national team perspective players.
EuroBasket 2017 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EuroBasket_2017 Croatia should be the second team in this group, behind Spain, in front of Czech Republic and Montenegro. I doubt that Romania and Hungary can end among top 4 teams.
