Drobnjak started his professional career with Partizan in the 1992–93 season. He played six seasons for Partizan, winning three national titles in a row (1995, 1996 and 1997). In his last year with the club, Drobnjak played in the Euroleague Final Four, where they finished fourth after losing in the semi-final to Kinder Bologna, and in the third-place game against Benetton Treviso.
Before the 1998–99 season, Drobnjak signed for Efes Pilsen in Turkey. Drobnjak stayed for the next three seasons with Efes.
Drobnjak was a second-round draft choice of the Washington Bullets in the 1997 NBA draft. During his time in the NBA, Drobnjak played two seasons for the Seattle SuperSonics, one season for the Los Angeles Clippers, and one season for the Atlanta Hawks. In 2004, the Clippers made him available for selection by the Charlotte Bobcats in the expansion draft. After his selection by the Bobcats, Drobnjak was subsequently traded to the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for a 2005 second-round draft pick before playing a game for Charlotte.
