We believe he still has significant room for development. We are pleased that he will continue his career with Cedevita Olimpija, where new challenges on the international stage await him,” said Cedevita Olimpija’s Sporting Director, Chechu Mulero.

“Brandon is a player who possesses potential on both ends of the floor, offensively and defensively.

“I’m very excited. Joining Cedevita Olimpija represents the next step in my career. I’ve been given the opportunity to compete on one of the biggest stages and play for a club in a country where people truly care about basketball and their culture. I’m really happy to become part of this environment and grateful for the opportunity to wear the Cedevita Olimpija jersey,” said Murray.
