Adnan Hodžić (born 6 December 1988) is a Bosnian professional basketball player. A 6'8" power forward, Hodžić played college basketball for Lipscomb University in Nashville, Tennessee. Hodžić is notable both for winning the Atlantic Sun Conference Player of the Year and for leading the NCAA in field goal percentage as a junior in the 2009–10 NCAA Division I men's basketball season.
High school
Hodžić and his family emigrated from war-torn Sarajevo, Bosnia in 1994 after Adnan needed treatment for an eye injury sustained while playing with a friend. Ultimately settling in Indianapolis, Indiana, U.S., Hodžić attended North Central High School with future NBA player Eric Gordon. Back injuries kept him from competing on the AAU circuit, keeping him off the radar of major conference programs. Hodžić chose to attend Lipscomb University and play for coach Scott Sanderson.[1]
College
After making the Atlantic Sun all-freshman team in his first year at Lipscomb, Hodžić became one of the top post players in the conference as a sophomore. He averaged 16.5 points and 6.8 rebounds per game and made the all-conference first team.[2] In his junior year, Hodžić really broke out, leading the Bisons to a share of the Atlantic Sun regular season championship. He averaged 22.7 points per game, finishing second in the nation in scoring. He also shot 60.4 percent from the floor to lead the country in field goal accuracy. Hodžić was named Atlantic Sun player of the year and an AP honorable mention All-American.[3]
Following his junior season, Hodžić declared for the 2010 NBA Draft but did not hire an agent.[4] After participating in workouts, Hodžić withdrew his name from consideration and decided to return to Lipscomb for his senior season.[5]
Professional
On 13 July 2011 Hodžić signed a one-year contract with Walter Tigers Tuebingen of the German BBL.[6] In October 2013, he signed with Al Arabi of the Qatari Basketball League.[7]
