Drobnjak a Hawk

Aug 16, 2004 4:56 PM

Nearly two months after being the first player ever acquired by the expansion Charlotte Bobcats, F Predrag Drobnjak has been traded away in a move which gave Charlotte a 2nd round pick in the 2005 NBA Draft.

"This trade allows us to open up a roster spot and also gives us a second round pick next year that we lost last month," said general manager Bernie Bickerstaff. "We had six players at the power forward and center positions and this will relieve some of the logjam and present more minutes for the guys on our roster."

The lost 2nd rounder Bickerstaff is referring to was a trade with the Clippers which landed them Melvin Ely and Eddie House.

Drobnjak was a 2nd round selection in the 1997 NBA Draft, but chose to remain overseas in Serbia and later in Turkey until the 2001/02 season, when he came to Seattle. He played there for two seasons before signing a 3 year deal with the Clippers, but he never fit into coach Dunleavy's system. Drobnjak has a 7.7ppg and 3.6rpg career average.
