Zan Tabak, Croatia
From
Nba.com: In 1992 Tabak played on the silver medal-winning Croatian
national team at the Olympic Games in Barcelona, a team that also included
Drazen Petrovic, Toni Kukoc and Dino Radja. The following season Tabak moved to
the Livorno club in Italy's Lega A, where he averaged 15.0 points and 11.0
rebounds per contest. Signed by Milano for the 1993-94 season, Tabak finished
among the league leaders in field goal percentage, rebounds and blocked shots.
He averaged 15.5 points and 10.3 rebounds while shooting .621 from the floor.
Tabak finally joined Houston for the 1994-95 season. A strong inside force with
a soft shooting touch, he saw limited action during his rookie campaign due to
the presence of Olajuwon. At season's end, the Rockets left him unprotected in
the 1995 NBA Expansion Draft and he was picked up by the Toronto Raptors. He was
the opening night center for the expansion Raptors and went on to appear in 67
games, averaging 7.7 points and 4.8 rebounds in 19.9 minutes per game and
shooting .543 from the field. Injuries limited him to just 13 games in 1996-97.
He split the following season between Toronto and Boston, moving to the Celtics
along with Kenny Anderson and Popeye Jones in exchange for Chauncey Billups, Dee
Brown, Roy Rogers and John Thomas on February 18, 1998. He played in a total of
57 games for the two teams, making 34 starts, and averaged 5.4 ppg. |
