In August 2011, he signed a contract with [Cedevita](/source/KK_Cedevita). Zadar suspended Bilan but eventually he won [Croatian Basketball Federation](/source/Croatian_Basketball_Federation) arbitration dispute, allowing him to debut for Cedevita in September 2011.[1] In July 2014, he extended his contract with Cedevita for one more season.[2]

In 18 [EuroCup](/source/EuroCup_Basketball) games he averaged 10.6 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 21.3 minutes per game.[6] He was named member of the [All–7DAYS EuroCup Second Team](/source/2018%E2%80%9319_EuroCup_Basketball#All–7DAYS_EuroCup_Teams) for the 2018/19 season.[7]

## National team career

Bilan was a part of the Croatian U-18 and U-20 teams as well as Croatian B national side. He made his debut for the senior [Croatian national basketball team](/source/Croatia_men's_national_basketball_team) in August 2014 in a friendly against [Canada](/source/Canada_men's_national_basketball_team).

He represented Croatia at the [2015 EuroBasket](/source/2015_EuroBasket),[12] where they were eliminated in the eighth finals by [Czech Republic](/source/Czech_Republic_national_basketball_team).[13] At this tournament he was the third choice for the center position and did not spend much time on court. A year later, after [Ante Tomić](/source/Ante_Tomi%C4%87_(basketball)) and [Justin Hamilton](/source/Justin_Hamilton_(basketball%2C_born_1990)) canceled playing in the tournament, he became the first-choice center in Croatia's successful appearance at the [2016 FIBA World Olympic Qualifying Tournament](/source/2016_FIBA_World_Olympic_Qualifying_Tournament_%E2%80%93_Turin). He played at the [2016 Summer Olympics](/source/Basketball_at_the_2016_Summer_Olympics_%E2%80%93_Men's_tournament) where Croatia came 5th. He rejected the call-up for the [2017 EuroBasket](/source/2017_EuroBasket), but played again for the [Croatia national basketball team](/source/Croatia_national_basketball_team) at the [2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup qualification](/source/2019_FIBA_Basketball_World_Cup_qualification_(Europe)) games.
