Bine Prepelič, who moved to Domžale from Slovenska Bistrica ahead of the last season, signed a 3-year deal with the club. This season this power forward will gain the majority of his senior minutes playing for Ilirija Ljubljana in 2nd Slovenian league, where he will play on loan, while he will be playing for Helios Suns in the ABA League 2 and junior domestic championship.
Last summer Bine, the cousin of Slovenia National Team member Klemen Prepelič, has been playing for U18 Slovenian National Team, which has taken the third place at the U18 European Championship in Greece, where he was averaging 9.7 points and 7.3 rebounds as one of the best players on the team.
Bine Prepelič stated as he signed with the Helios Suns: “I am grateful for receiving this opportunity and glad, that I will be able to work for the Helios Suns. I believe, that there is a lot of hard work ahead of us, but for me this is a confirmation of the fact that I am on the right track.”

Bine Prepelič s prvo profesionalno pogodbo
Usmeritev domžalskega kluba se v zadnjih letih ne menja. Ob dobrih igrah članske ekipe do svoje priložnosti prihajajo številni mladi košarkarji, naslednji med njimi, ki je s klubom podpisal tudi svojo prvo profesionalno pogodbo, pa je 18-letni Bine Prepelič.
Bine Prepelič (2001, 200 cm), ki se je v Domžale iz Slovenske Bistrice preselil pred začetkom lanske sezone, je s klubom sklenil 3-letno pogodbo. V letošnji sezoni bo ta krilni center največ članskih minut lovil v dresu ljubljanske Ilirije v 2. SKL, kamor bo posojen, za Helios Sunse pa bo nastopal v Ligi ABA2 in seveda v mladinskem državnem prvenstvu.
Preteklo poletje je bil Bine, sicer tudi bratranec slovenskega članskega reprezentanta in nekdanjega košarkarja Heliosa, Klemna Prepeliča, član slovenske mladinske reprezentance, ki je na U18 evropskem prvenstvu divizije A v Grčiji prišla do izjemnega 3. mesta, sam pa je bil s povprečno 9,7 točke in 7,3 skoka eden najboljših posameznikov v ekipi.
Bine Prepelič je ob podpisu prve profesionalne pogodbe s Helios Suns dejal: "Hvaležen sem za to priložnost in vesel, da bom lahko zastopal barve Helios Sunsov. Vem, da me čaka še veliko trdega dela, je pa to manjša potrditev, da sem na pravi poti."
