 Coming off the season in which they made the EuroLeague Final Four (eliminated by Maccabi in the semifinal) and lost to emerging Jugoplastika in the Yugoslav League playoff final series, the young Partizan team was looking to reclaim the domestic league title.Young Danilović immediately got big minutes at shooting guard, putting in a promising debut campaign, especially excelling in defensive tasks while contributing modest 5.6 points per game offensively (123 points over 21 league appearances).Partizan finished the regular season in first place with a 16-6 record, same as Jugoplastika, but with better basket difference, meaning the Belgrade club would have the home court advantage in the playoffs.
