Hubert Davis is set to enhance the North Carolina Tar Heels basketball team for the 2025-26 season by securing an international talent, Luke Bogavac. The 21-year-old Montenegrin wing stands at 6-foot-5 and has committed to joining UNC, a move reported originally by ESPN’s Jonathan Givony.
Bogavac has showcased impressive skills during his time with SC Derby in both the Montenegrin Basketball League and the ABA League, where he averaged 14.9 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game in the 2024-25 season. Notably, he demonstrated his shooting prowess by finishing the season with a shooting percentage of 45%, including a commendable 40% from beyond the arc.
His commitment marks him as at least the ninth newcomer for the Tar Heels, contributing to a roster overhaul that includes five transfers from other programs such as Kyan Evans from Colorado State and Henri Veesaar from Arizona, as well as three incoming freshmen like Caleb Wilson.
Bogavac’s addition is particularly timely as it helps fill the void left by Drake Powell, who declared for the 2025 NBA Draft after his freshman year. With Bogavac’s ability to produce significant scoring—displayed in games where he scored 19 or more points in eight of his last 15 matches—he is expected to play a crucial role in bolstering the Tar Heels’ wing play and overall shooting capability.
This strategic recruitment reflects Davis’s effort to stabilize the team and enhance its competitiveness for the upcoming season. Fans and analysts alike have reason to be optimistic about Bogavac’s impact on the Tar Heels’ dynamic on the court.
