The former University of Hawai'i basketball star reached a free-agent agreement with the Denver Nuggets today, ending weeks of negotiations with several teams from the NBA and Europe.

"He will be a member of the Denver Nuggets," said Savovic's New York-based agent, Marc Cornstein. "We got something finalized and we're glad to say that Predrag will get a chance to showcase his talents in the NBA."

Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Savovic, a 6-foot-6, 212-pound shooting guard, will report to Denver's summer league team next week in Utah.

"I felt like he belonged in the NBA from the start," UH head coach Riley Wallace said. "When you have the chance to chase your dream, you chase it. That's what he's doing."

Savovic, who is originally from Yugoslavia, was leaning toward signing a guaranteed contract with an elite team from Italy last week before the Nuggets made another offer late last week.

Savovic is the fourth-leading scorer in UH history with 1,414 points. He is also the all-time leader with 178 3-pointers in three seasons with the 'Bows.
