NBA Accolades: All Rookie Second Team (2009)

One of the best Scandinavian players to ever come to the NBA, Jerebko has been a stalwart of the NBA landscape since he was drafted in the second round of the 2009 NBA draft by the Detroit Pistons. Starting a majority of the games for the Pistons that year, Jerebko turned into a fan favorite through his hustle and ultimately made the All-Rookie Second Team for the 2009 season.

Following his tenure in Detroit, Jerebko would go on to play in Boston, where he was one of the premier players in their 2016-17 Isaiah Thomas-powered playoff run. Jerebko was the rebound leader for two straight games during the playoff run when they were bounced by the transcendent Atlanta Hawks under Mike Budenholzer.

After a stop in Utah playing a high energy wing with the Jazz, Jerebko completed his final season in the NBA with the Golden State Warriors, where his highlight was scoring the winning bucket against his former team with 0.3 seconds left to go with a tip-in rebound. Jerebko's role was reduced in the playoffs despite the Warriors missing Kevin Durant, Demarcus Cousins and Klay Thomson.

Now at BC Khimki, along with its multitude of stars, including former NBA champion Mozgov, Sergey Karasev, Alexey Shved, will this be the season when Jerebko finally wins the major championship he came so close to winning in the NBA?
