He helped Baskonia reach the EuroLeague Final Four in 2016 and the playoffs last season. Blazic started his career in his native Slovenia, playing for Triglav Kranj and Geoplin Slovan Ljubljana before making his EuroLeague debut with Union Olimpija Ljubljana in the 2011-12 season.
He has also played for Crvena Zvezda mts Belgrade before joining Baskonia in 2015. He helped Olimpija win back-to-back Slovenian Cup titles in 2012 and 2013 and lifted five trophies – back-to-back Adriatic League and Serbian Cup crowns in 2014 and 2015, and the Serbian League title in 2015 – in two years with Zvezda.
