Elected 2008
Tomic was chosen by the Utah Jazz in the second round, specifically in position 44, in the 2008 draft, but never got to play in the American league. He decided that his career was going to be developed in Europe, first in Cibona (2004-10), then in Madrid (2010-12), to make the leap to Barça, where he has played eight seasons (2012-2020). This summer he decided to continue in the Endesa League, with Joventut.
