Professional career
Dašić began his professional career in the Serbia and Montenegro League with Budućnost Podgorica in 2004. There, Dašić made a name for himself and was widely considered at the time as one of the best young players in Europe and attracted interest from many big European clubs.
On August 26, 2009, he transferred to the Spanish ACB League club Real Madrid.[1] At Madrid, Dašić had a limited playing time and with the arrival of Ante Tomić his playing time became even more reduced so he was loaned out to Gran Canaria.[2]

In January 2014, he signed with Al Ahli Dubai of United Arab Emirates.[7]
On July 3, 2014, he returned after five years to Budućnost Podgorica, signing a 1+1 contract.[8] On April 25, he was released by Budućnost Podgorica.[9]
