Barac carrying Pacers' Olympic torch

[greenway84]

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.......

This is good to hear. though I'm not getting my hopes up. He could turn out to be a nice piece. Assuming we resign Foster. He would be 26 and coming over just in time to give Foster some rellief and back up Hibbert.

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.
