You remember Stanko Barac. OK, maybe not.
The Pacers' only acquisition during the 2007 NBA Draft, Barac was obtained from Miami in a trade for a 2009 second-round pick. The 7-1 center born in Bosnia-Herzegovina has competed internationally for Croatia and thus is carrying the Pacers' torch in the Olympics.......

A good defender with a nice offensive game, and not quite 22? I'll take it. I know he was considered a bit of a sleeper going into the 2007 draft having gone through a major growth spurt very late in his teens.

Yeah I wouldn't get my hopes up. While I'm hoping for the best, anything can happen in 4 years.

Looking forward to the Twin Towers lineup (Hibbert + Barac).
In 2012.

Yeah biggest thing right now is that both Barac and Lorbek are signed overseas for a least another 3 if not 4 season.
That should work in the Pacers favor esp. with Murphy amongst other bigs we have with contracts gone by that time.
