A versatile game is allowing Matija Svetozarevic to make up for some lost time with the University of Hawai’i basketball team.
Svetozarevic is one of five newcomers on the Rainbow Warriors’ 2022-23 roster. The 6-foot-7 sophomore forward signed with Hawai’i in August, and thus missed out on summer classes and workouts with the other members of the team.
“I think I was the last guy on the team to come here so I wasn’t here for the summer session at all,” he said. “I was just here for the unofficial practices for the past month, and now after the first week of official practices, I’m starting to get to know my teammates and the guys really well.
