Marko Šutalo (born April 13, 1983) is a Bosnian-Serbian professional basketball player. He is a 1.94 m (6 ft 5 in) shooting guard who plays for KK Zadar in the Croatian Championship and the Adriatic League.
Šutalo began his professional career began in 1999 with KK Topola from his hometown. In the period between 2001 and 2009 he spent between two Novi Sad clubs - KK Novi Sad where he played five seasons and KK Vojvodina where he played three. Along with playing basketball he was also studied law. [1]
He moved to Hemofarm Vršac in 2009 and spent there three years making his first performances in European competitions in the Eurocup and Euroleague qualifications. In July 2012 he moved to HKK Široki of the Bosnian League. In October 2013 he signed with the Croatian KK Zadar. [2]
An offensive-minded guard, Šutalo is a pure shooter with an ability to drain triples and long jumpers. In 2008-09, playing for KK Vojvodina in his native Serbia, Sutalo put himself on the map when he shot a staggering 52% behind the three-point arc for the season in 26 Adriatic league games. While his defence is somewhat of a liability, his trigger from downtown, coupled with athleticism that allows him to drive through the paint, always make him a great threat. Such traits have finally earned him a call to represent Bosnia and Herzegovina, the native land of his father. For the then 30-year-old, it was the first time he put on a National Team jersey of any kind and colour. [3]
