Anadolu Efes Istanbul signed Ante Zizic to a 2+1 contract, the club officially announced.

Together with Scottie Wilbekin, the Croatian big man was the driving force behind Maccabi's great run at the end of the last EuroLeague regular season.

The 25-year-old Zizic averaged 12.2 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 15.5 PIR over 31 EuroLeague games (20.5 minutes)

He also had one of the best offensive ratings in the competition, with 129.1 points per 100 possessions.

Despite reaching the EuroLeague playoffs with Maccabi this past season, the Israeli squad finished the season in a disappointing way, getting eliminated in the semifinals of their domestic league by Bnei Herzliya.

In 2018, Zizic played in the NBA playoffs with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
