Filip Petrušev

Petrušev was born in Belgrade, Serbia, FR Yugoslavia.

He started to play basketball for youth systems of Serbian powerhouses Crvena zvezda and Partizan.{{cite web |title=SALE MOŽE DA BIRA Podmladiti "orlove"?

In 2014, Petrušev, already over 2.00 meters in height, who had just completed the seventh grade of primary school in Serbia, signed for the youth system of Spanish club Saski Baskonia (Laboral Kutxa). Moving away from home to Vitoria-Gasteiz in the Basque Country, the fourteen-year-old began living a structured life within the club's youth system: residing with other youth team foreign players in a club-provided house with a cook, attending school classes in the morning, and participating in basketball training sessions in the afternoon. In accordance with the club's training methods, in addition to team practices, he spent a lot of time on daily individual work—honing footwork in the post and practicing the hook shot—with coach {{ill|Iñaki Iriarte|es}}.

In summer 2015, the youngster was picked by coach Vladimir Đokić for the Serbia under-16 national team ahead of the 2015 FIBA Europe Under-16 Championship in Kaunas.

As per the advice and wishes of his family, he decided to leave Saski Baskonia during summer 2016 at age sixteen once the club wanted him to turn professional, which was to entail stopping his formal education, devoting his time fully to basketball, and likely being sent out on loans to smaller Spanish clubs in pursuit of making the full squad at Baskonia.{{cite news|last=Jovanović|first=Miloš|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNSfAhziHi8&t=535s|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220725013715/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNSfAhziHi8&t=535s|agency=Mondo.rs|archive-date=July 25, 2022|url-status=bot: unknown|title=Šesta lična: Filip Petrušev, orao među "buldozima" S03E09 (timestamp 08:56)|date=September 25, 2020|access-date=July 24, 2022}} Summarizing his two year stay in Spain, Petrušev described it as "essentially becoming a semi-professional at fourteen" while crediting it for "significant personal growth".{{cite news|last=Jovanović|first=Miloš|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNSfAhziHi8&t=181s|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220725013711/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNSfAhziHi8&t=181s|agency=Mondo.rs|archive-date=July 25, 2022|url-status=bot: unknown|title=Šesta lična: Filip Petrušev, orao među "buldozima" S03E09 (timestamp 08:56)|date=September 25, 2020|access-date=July 24, 2022}}

Not keen on stopping his secondary education as part of turning professional, Petrušev began looking for a way to continue his schooling while simultaneously pursuing basketball.

After making the Serbia under-16 national team for the 2016 U16 European Championship where he appeared alongside youth prospects Alen Smailagić, Dalibor Ilić, and Marko Pecarski, sixteen-year-old Petrušev began playing high school basketball in the United States with Avon Old Farms, an all-boys boarding school in Avon, Connecticut.{{cite web|title=A look into Filip Petrušev|url=https://agent49.net/intro-filip-petrusev/|website=agent49.net|access-date=January 20, 2018|archive-date=June 30, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180630185755/https://agent49.net/intro-filip-petrusev/|url-status=dead}} Arriving in Connecticut with a foot injury he had picked up at the European under-16 Championship, Petrušev missed the majority of the season, watching the games from the bench and reportedly being disappointed with the style of basketball played at Avon, specifically its run-and-gun nature and disorganized structure.{{cite magazine|last=Bromberg|first=Lila|url=https://www.si.com/nba/2021/07/29/filip-petrušev-nba-draft-prospect-mega-basket|magazine=Sports Illustrated|title=Filip Petrušev's Long-Winding Journey to the NBA|date=July 29, 2021|access-date=July 25, 2022}} Once he finally got on the court, though, he quickly adapted to the different style of play, eventually growing to appreciate its faster pace, focus on athleticism as well as being able to stretch the floor, shoot the three, and have the ball in his hands more, none of which he had been exposed to at Baskonia or Serbia under-16 national team.

In July 2017, ahead of his senior season, Petrušev transferred to Montverde Academy in Montverde, Florida, an elite professional sports private prep school that a number of NBA players had come through.{{cite web|title=FIBA u18 A: Filip Petrusev recruitment set to pick up|url=https://www.scout.com/Article/FIBA-u18-A-2018-Serbian-post-Filip-Petrusev-recruitment-set-to-pick-up-105820429|website=scout.com|access-date=January 20, 2018}}

In August 2017, he attended the Basketball Without Borders Europe Camp 16 in Netanya, Israel.{{cite web |title=First Basketball without Borders Europe camp in Israel draws many elite players from the continent |url=http://www.fiba.basketball/en/news/first-basketball-without-borders-europe-camp-in-israel-draws-many-elite-players-from-the-continent |website=fiba.basketball |date=August 20, 2017 |access-date=July 29, 2021}} Playing on a roster led by the number 1 prospect in the country RJ Barrett as well as top recruits Andrew Nembhard and Michael Devoe, Petrušev immediately gained the trust of the team's head coach Kevin Boyle who envisioned the 6' 11" (2.11 m) Serbian as a modern big (power forward or center) who could shoot threes and set himself apart as an inside-outside player. Adjudged to be too thin, the player was simultaneously put through a physical regiment to bulk up. Petrušev attended Basketball Without Borders Global Camp in El Segundo, California in February 2018.{{cite magazine |title=Evaluating the Top International Prospects at Basketball Without Borders |url=https://www.si.com/nba/2018/02/19/basketball-without-borders-top-international-prospects-nba-draft |magazine=Sports Illustrated |date=February 19, 2018 |access-date=July 29, 2021}}

Petrušev was a consensus four-star recruit, according to major recruiting services. He originally committed to the University of Hartford on October 24, 2016, but later de-committed on July 26, 2017. On October 22, 2017, he announced his commitment to Gonzaga. On November 8, 2017, Petrušev signed a letter of intent with the Gonzaga Bulldogs.{{cite web|title=Highlights of Gonzaga bound forward Filip Petrusev|url=https://247sports.com/Article/Highlights-of-Gonzaga-bound-forward-Filip-Petrusev-113937139|website=247sports.com|access-date=January 20, 2018}}{{cite web|title=Serbian big man Filip Petrusev commits to Gonzaga|date=October 22, 2017 |url=https://www.espn.com/college-sports/recruiting/basketball/mens/story/_/id/21111885/serbian-big-man-filip-petrusev-commits-gonzaga-bulldogs|publisher=ESPN|access-date=January 20, 2018}}

Joining the accomplished squad led by a duo of guards Shane Larkin and Petrušev's Serbian compatriot Vasilije Micić, Petrušev started out well in the EuroLeague opening game loss away at Real Madrid, his EuroLeague debut, with 17 points in 16 minutes of action on 6 of 8 field goal shooting.[https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/game-center/2021-22/real-madrid-anadolu-efes-istanbul/E2021/4/#boxscore Real Madrid vs. Efes Pilsen], EuroLeague, regular season, September 30, 2021 He had a few more solid outings during the first half of the season that saw the defending champions Efes struggle with a 0–4 start before finally recording a win in week 5 at home to the Russian club UNICS. The team's struggles continued the rest of fall 2021 with a disappointing 9–9 record at the end of December 2021 just past the halfway point of the regular season.

Petrušev’s role diminished in the second half of the EuroLeague regular season as Efes' veteran centers Tibor Pleiß and Bryant Dunston rolled into form and head coach Ergin Ataman generally began relying more on the veterans that carried Efes the season before.{{cite web |title=Tribute to the Champs: Filip Petrusev |url=https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/news/tribute-to-the-champs-filip-petrusev/ |website= euroleaguebasketball.net |date=June 7, 2022 |access-date=July 28, 2022}} After not getting a single minute of action in the playoffs quarterfinal best-of-five series versus Olimpia Milano, Petrušev also had no playing time at the Final Four in Belgrade as Efes successfully defended their EuroLeague title.
