Danilo Jovanovich

Personal:

Born Oct. 9, 2003… Son of Milan and Bozana Jovanovich… Has a brother, Dimitrije, and a sister, Marina Pavlik.
Chose to attend UofL of “the great coaching staff and because it is a very historic program.”
Enjoys sleeping and watching movies in his spare time.
The basketball player he most admires is Dwyane Wade.
If you walked into his dorm room, the first thing you would notice is his posters.
He’d most like to meet Megan Fox.
Few people know this about him, but he can’t ride a bike.
When he played basketball as a kid, he always pretended he was Dwyane Wade.
The best athlete he ever faced was Bam Adebayo.
The best moment of his athletic career so far was going to the Final Four at Miami.
The best basketball advice anyone ever gave him was “hard work beats talent.”
