Draen Petrovi was a Croatian professional basketball player. A shooting guard, he initially achieved success playing professional basketball in Europe in the 1980s before joining the National Basketball Association in 1989.
Born in ibenik, SR Croatia, SFR Yugoslavia, Draen Petrovi was the second child of Jovan Jole, a police officer, and Biserka, a librarian. His father, of Serb ethnicity, was born in Zagora, near Trebinje in Bosnia and Herzegovina. His mother was born in Bilica, near ibenik, and was from a traditional conservative Croat family, devoutly Roman Catholic. The couples eldest child, Aleksandar, would be the first one to tread the basketball path, providing a lead for his younger sibling. The Petrovi siblings are second cousins to the Serbian basketball player Dejan Bodiroga.
