    Bio

In 2005, Jerebko signed to play basketball at the University of Buffalo in his father’s hometown. Ultimately, he gave up a basketball scholarship for a professional career. Jerebko began his career playing with the second division Swedish club Boras Basket in 2005. After playing a season with them, he joined the first-tier team Plannja Basket in 2006, where to he only played for one season. He then moved to Italy to play for Angelico Biella where he gave good performances for two seasons.
