    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">With Tau, Drobnjak will be part of a frontcourt rotation that includes NBA draft pick Luis Scola, future NBA draft pick Tiago Splitter and former NBA player Kornel David, who recently agreed a new deal to stay in Vitoria.

    Drobnjak is the second new arrival at Tau, which lost in the final of both the Spanish ACB and the Euroleague last season. The team also signed Croatian international point guard Roko Leni Ukic of KK Split.

    Ukic was a second-round pick of Toronto in the June draft but is expected to remain in Europe at least one more season.

    "My aim after playing for Split is to play for another one or two years in Europe and then move to the NBA," Ukic said. "I didn't doubt for an instant when I knew Tau were interested in me. You don't have to go to the NBA at whatever price and it will be good for me to play in Spain." </div>

    Well, he was a good backup, hopefully we can get someone that brings what he left to the table. Not a big loss but looking at who's left of the free agents it could be a bad thing.

    for a 7 footer he could shoot the ball better than many guards

    Yeah, listen to Peja King. You can think of negatives for everyone playing the game but you gotta focus on the positives. He could shoot so his rebounding ability was overshadowed. We dont have any good big men at this moment on the Hawks, I dont consider Marvin Williams, Josh Smith or Al Harrington big man because all three of them are best suited for playing SF not PF.

    ^ i didn't overlook it. we really wouldn't need his shooting as much as we would need rebounding this upcoming year, considering that we drafted a shooter in salim
