Career
He was also a Danish national team player. He was drafted in the second round of the 2004 National Basketball Association draft by the New Jersey Nets with the 51st pick as the first Dane ever drafted by the National Basketball Association. This pick was not without controversy as some had been questioning his character because he had quit the Florida Gators basketball team halfway through the previous season. He never played in the National Basketball Association.
In his first year of college basketball, Drejer had an injury in his left foot which kept him sidelined for most of the season.
The injury remained a problem for the rest of his career.
In 2007-2008 he had surgery twice but never fully recovered. In March 2008 he was released from his contract by Virtus Roma and on March 11 the Basketball Federation of Denmark (Danmarks Basketball-Forbund) sent out a press release announcing Drejer"s retirement.
