Player profile

Tepić won both the 2006 and 2007 FIBA Europe Under-20 Championship gold medals with the Serbian national under age 20 team in 2006 and he then developed into a key member of Partizan's team at the Euroleague level. A favorite of Coach Dusan Ivkovic, Tepic has a wide range of offensive skills which he uses to good effect. As a combo guard-point forward he is a solid shooter and passer.

He is also a good decision maker and he doesn't jack up three point shots unless his feet are set for shooting. He is also a smart player at the defensive end, which is something that was recognized by the 2009 Euroleague champions, Panathinaikos, who signed him to a three year deal prior to the 2009-10 season.

Tepić began his career playing with the KK Sports World youth teams in Serbia. He made his professional debut with the Serbian League club Vojvodina Novi Sad in 2002.
