Ante Delaš (born March 11, 1988) is a Croatian professional basketball player playing for Zadar in the Croatian League and the Adriatic League. He can play both point guard and shooting guard positions making him a classical combo guard, despite his height (2.00 m) and thin physique. He is the older brother of Mario Delaš, also a basketball player, with whom he played for Split, Cedevita and the Croatia national basketball team.
Professional career
Delaš grew up in KK Split and made his pro debut with the team in 2005. He was loaned to KK Trogir competing in the top and second level Croatian basketball leagues. After spending a season in top level Alkar Sinj he was sold to KK Zadar where he played another two seasons in the Croatian League. In the 2012–13 season Zadar surprisingly reached the finals of the play-offs with Delaš profiling himself both as a leader and a legitimate scoring threat.[1] KK Zadar also competed in the 2012-13 Adriatic league season. In his debut season in this league Delaš averaged 6.2 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 24 games. In the summer of 2013, he signed a three-year deal with Cedevita Zagreb.[2] In June 2015, he left Cedevita.[3]
After playing only one game for Kaštela Ribola in the Croatian League, in October 2015 he returned to Zadar.[4]
International career
After being a part of Croatian youth national team selections, he was called up by coach Jasmin Repeša for the senior team. He was a member of the Croatian team at the 2013 European Championship, playing only a minor role in Croatia's 4th place performance.
