MILWAUKEE, United States (AFP) - Croatian playmaker Toni Kukoc, who won three
National Basketball Association titles with the Chicago Bulls, will hang around
and help top draft pick Andrew Bogut adjust to life in the NBA.
Kukoc
signed a one-year deal to stay with the Milwaukee Bucks here on Friday. The
12-year veteran must be paid at least 1.13 million dollars.
The versatile forward was limited by injuries last season and averaged career
lows of 5.6 points and 3.0 rebounds a game. But a fit form should give him a
chance to work alongside Australian rookie center Bogut.
"In addition to his solid, veteran presence on the floor, Toni's knowledge
and experience will be an invaluable asset to the younger players on our
roster," Bucks coach Terry Stotts said.
Kukoc has averaged 12.2 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.8 assists in 781 NBA games
with Chicago, Philadelphia, Atlanta and Milwaukee.
