So many things are new to Zeljko Rebraca.

He's in a new city, has new teammates and has had to adjust to a new role as Detroit's top frontcourt player off the bench.

"I start in the NBA from zero," he said.

Rebraca, one of Europe's top players, said he has no problem being an NBA backup.

But his play of late has certainly given Pistons coach Rick Carlisle reason to consider giving him more playing time.

The 7-foot center is coming off a career-high 15 points in helping Detroit defeat Chicago, 97-73, on Wednesday.
