On the season Planinic has averaged 21 minutes, 7.9 points, 2.2 assists and 2.7 rebounds per game in the Euroleague, 24.1/8.8/3.5/2.6 in the Russian Superleague, and 23.6/11.8/3.1/3.8 in the VTB United League. He recently had his own segment on Eurosport news, which means he's now officially made it.
