Oklahoma State Signs Serbian Center Andrija Vukovich

STILLWATER – Steve Lutz has filled Oklahoma State basketball’s last roster spot with Serbian big man, Andrija Vukovich. 

Vukovich checks in at 6-11, 265 pounds and immediately brings size and strength to the Pokes’ line up. 

"To get a player and person of Andrija's caliber is a big win for Oklahoma State, especially this late in the summer,”said head coach Steve Lutz. “He is a strong, physical guy who moves well and can defend and finish around the rim. Competing at highest level of Serbian basketball should help speed up Andrija's development and make for a smooth transition to the Big 12. We're excited to welcome him to Stillwater and Cowboy Basketball Family!"

This past spring, Vukovich played for KK Vršac, a team currently competing in the Basketball League of Serbia. He played in 22 games, averaging 6.1 points on 66% shooting from the field, he went 4-for-6 from 3-point range, but unfortunately shot just 56% from the free throw line. He also had 2.5 rebounds per game.
