Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv general manager Nikola Vujcic made the signing of center Ante Zizic a priority over the summer. Vujcic had good reasons for optimism because he knew that Zizic had many connections to the team.
Zizic hails from Split, Croatia, just like Vujcic, and has known the GM for as long as he can remember. Zizic's older brother, Andrija Zizic, won the EuroLeague in 2014 with Maccabi. Andrija also played for his brother's new coach, Ioannis Sfairopoulos, during his career. Maccabi's star guard, Scottie Wilbekin, was Zizic's teammate when he made his EuroLeague debut with Darussafaka Istanbul during the 2016-17 season. And Zizic's first taste of professional basketball, back when he was just 16 years old, came during a summer tryout with the Israeli champs.
