Anthony Drmic (born 25 February 1992) is an Australian professional basketball player for the Adelaide 36ers of the National Basketball League (NBL). While he has represented the Australian under-19 team, he also holds a Croatian passport.[1]
College career
Drmic attended the Australian Institute of Sport and was recruited to the United States to play at Boise State with teammate Igor Hadziomerovic.[2] As a freshman in 2011–12, Drmic started all 29 games for the Broncos, averaging 12 points per game and set a school record for three-pointers by a freshman (57). At the end of the year, he was named honorable mention All-Mountain West Conference (MWC).[3]
As a sophomore in 2012–13, Drmic raised his scoring to 17.7 points per game, leading the Broncos to the 2013 NCAA Tournament in the process. As a junior in 2013–14, he was named second-team All-MWC for the second year in a row, as well as All-District by the United States Basketball Writers Association.[4]
Prior to the start of his senior season, Drmic was named first-team preseason All-MWC.[5] However, he managed just seven games in 2014–15 after sustaining an ankle injury that ruled him out for the rest of the season. He subsequently applied for a medical hardship to play in 2015–16 as a fifth-year senior.[6]
In 2015–16, Drmic appeared in 31 games with 25 starts, averaging 13.4 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game. He subsequently earned All-Mountain West Honorable Mention selection by the media. Drmic finished his college career as the school's all-time three-point record holder, the school's games record holder, two points shy of the school's all-time leading scorer, and at No. 5 on the Mountain West Conference all-time scoring list.[7]
Professional career
On 5 May 2016, Drmic signed a two-year deal with the Adelaide 36ers of the National Basketball League.[8][9]
National team career
Drmic competed for Australia at the 2011 FIBA Under-19 World Championship, where he averaged 15.4 points per game in the nine matches and helped the Emus to a sixth-place finish.[10]
