Primoz Brezec Signs Multi-Year Contract Extension September 30, 2004 http://www.nba.com/bobcats/news/release_brezec_040930.html The Bobcats have signed Primoz Brezec to a multi-year contract extension. The 7-1, 255-pound center was chosen by Charlotte in the Expansion Selection on June 22 after playing his first three NBA seasons in Indiana. He participated in the Rocky Mountain Revue summer league with the Bobcats entry and averaged 14.5 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.2 blocked shots and shot .515 from the field, ranking in the top 10 in all those categories and helping the team to a 5-2 record. "We were very happy when we had the opportunity to take Primoz in the Expansion Selection and we're delighted to be able to keep him on our roster for the next several years," said Bickerstaff. "Primoz played extremely well in the summer league for us, where he demonstrated his intensity, work ethic and versatility on both ends of the court. We think he will be an important part of our foundation as we begin building our team next week." Brezec averaged 1.8 points and 1.1 rebounds in 5.5 minutes in 62 career games with the Pacers, including 1.6 points and 0.8 rebounds in 2003-04. A native of Slovenia, he was a member of his country's 22-and-under national team in 1999 and played four seasons for Olimpija Ljubljana. Brezec was originally the 27th overall pick by Indiana in the 2000 NBA Draft. Heading into his fourth NBA season under his original rookie-scale contract, Brezec and the team took advantage of an exclusive negotiating opportunity to extend his contract. The parties had until October 31 to enter into an extension so Brezec would not become a restricted free agent following the 2004-05 season. The Bobcats are the NBA's 30th franchise and begin their first-ever training camp with Media Day on Monday, October 4. The first practice session is on Tuesday, October 5. Charlotte tips off its inaugural regular season at home against Washington on Thursday, November 4. The Bobcats will play the 2004-05 season at the Charlotte Coliseum before moving to Charlotte's New Uptown Arena beginning with the 2005-06 NBA season. -- 球队与夏季联盟打得不错的 Brezec 签下延长合约。 据说曾有 RIK 接班人之称是吧:) 希望能看到他有好的表现。 --
