Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Dzanan Musa was born in 1999 in Bihac, a city situated on the banks of the river Una in northwestern Bosnia and Herzegovina. He is the son of Rusmir and Saudina Musa. Dzanan has an older brother, Dzennis. He originally played soccer as a kid, but started playing junior basketball at eight. Musa was only 15 when he signed his first professional contract with the Croatian team Cedevita Zagreb. Musa made his EuroLeague debut on October 15th, 2015, making him the ninth-youngest player to accomplish this feat. Musa became the youngest international player taken in the first round of the 2018 NBA Draft. Dzanan Musa was 15 years old when he signed his first professional contract with the Croatian team Cedevita Zagreb. During the 2015-16 season, as a 16-year-old, Musa played in 38 games across multiple tournaments. He posted 37 points in his last game for the KK Cedevita Junior Team in a win against the FC Bayern Munich Junior Team. He continued with Cedevita Zagreb in 2016-17, and appeared in 60 games (nine starts), averaging 9.1 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 18.6 minutes per game. Musa's numbers continued to improve during his third season with Cedevita Zagreb, his age-18 season. He played in 71 games (14 starts), averaging 12.4 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 23 minutes per game. Musa finished third in the Croatian League in scoring and was awarded the EuroCup Rising Star trophy. Overall, Musa led his team to three straight Croatian League championships and its first Adriatic League Supercup Championship in 2018.

Retreats to Europe

January 13, 2021
Musa signed a three-year contract Wednesday with Turkish club Anadolu Efes, EuroLeague.net reports.
ANALYSIS
A first-round pick by the Nets in 2018, Musa appeared in 49 games, averaging 4.3 points and 1.9 rebounds in 10.7 minutes per contest between his two seasons in Brooklyn before he was dealt to Detroit during the offseason. Though the Pistons are seemingly in rebuilding mode, the 21-year-old evidently wasn't viewed as part of the organization's long-term plans, as he was waived at the conclusion of the preseason. With none of the league's other 29 teams opting to scoop up Musa, he'll return to the other side of the Atlantic and attempt to establish himself in the EuroLeague.

2018 Fantasy Outlook
Musa is just 19 years old and has been playing professionally with Cedevita in Europe for three years already. Most recently during the 2017-18 campaign, Musa played 71 games across three different leagues and averaged 12.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.0 steal across 23.1 minutes. He shot a respectable 47.0 percent from the field, but he did noticeably struggle from deep and hit just 31.3 percent of his three-pointers. Still, Musa is prided for his elite scoring ability, which is what earned him a selection with the 29th overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft by the Nets. Still a bit thin and in need of better defensive coaching, Musa is expected to need some developmental time after coming over to the United States, so he'll likely struggle to see more than a handful of minutes most nights during the upcoming campaign. In fact, it wouldn't be surprising if the Nets opted to give him some run in the G-League in order to quicken the learning curve. Still, Musa's plethora of offensive moves, as well as impressive size (6-foot-9) and ability to play multiple positions, makes him an intriguing piece for the future. He'll likely only be in consideration for those willing to bet on his potential in dynasty leagues.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Not keen on NBA move
FFree Agent
September 13, 2024
Musa rejected the chance to join an NBA team over the summer to stay with Real Madrid in the 2024-25 season, Kevin Martorano of Sportando reports. "I am very happy in Madrid and to stay here I turned down some offers from the NBA," Musa told Ricardo Gonzalez of AS.com. "I never closed that door completely, but I would not leave here for any reason. I am a winner, I want to play to win."
ANALYSIS
Musa has been with Real Madrid since 2022 and recently said he turned down NBA interest this offseason in order to stick with the Spanish club. Musa played for the Nets between 2018 and 2020, but it doesn't seem as if he'll return to the league any time soon.
