Name: Predrag Drobnjak
Claim to Fame: Bearing an uncanny resemblance to Fred Flinstone
Was he any good? Eh. He certainly wasn't the worst (see upcoming Olumide Oyedeji profile), but he wasn't terrific. He was, in essence, a 6'11" center who masqueraded as a shooting guard. He couldn't play defense, he couldn't rebound, but he could shoot from the outside pretty well. Unfortunately, his range ended just inside the three point line, meaning he could wax long twos all day, but never hit threes.
Anything Else to Know? Yeah, he went back to Europe after a couple of years dabbling with the Atlanta Hawks. Unfortunately, Europe didn't really want him either. I still remember him for the call Kevin Calabro made after he hit a game winning shot, "Yabba Dabba Drobnjak." He also went to the same orthodontist as I did - small world.
