Boban Savović Basketball player

Slobodan "Boban" Savović (born November 27, 1979) is a retired Montenegrin professional basketball player. Savović came to the United States in 1994 and played at East Side High School in Newark, New Jersey. After a standout career there, he was signed by Ohio State. During his freshman year, he was one of the top contributors off the bench in the Buckeyes' run to the 1999 Final Four. He missed most of the 1999-2000 season due to ankle and leg injuries, but was a starter the next two years. A deadly three-point shooter, he left Ohio State fifth all-time in career three-pointers with 125. Savović's name was not called in the 2002 NBA Draft, but he played professionally for four years in Serbia and France. He is the younger brother of former Denver Nuggets retired player Predrag Savović.
