Tripkovic left Partizan Belgrade for the first time in his life this summer, joiing DKV Joventut Badalona as he set his sights on the better pay offered up by the ACB. It turns out that he actually downgraded; Partizan finished fourth in the Euroleague, while Badalona got only as far as the Eurocup top 16. Tripkovic has done well, though, averaging 10.8 points per game in the ACB on 50% three point shooting. He's been the best shooter on a team full of shooting.
