Fan favorite Boban Marjanovic spent the last two seasons in Houston but remains a free agent looking for a team for next season.
Marjanovic, who was in Slovenia to participate in Goran Dragic’s farewell match last weekendHe is still waiting for that contract for next season, but he is not stressed about it, he said. Milun Nesovic of Meridian Sport (hat backwards) (Eurohoops).
“Every time you make plans, they don’t work out. Plans always change. Here, I wanted to come by plane first, but we arrived by car. I don’t have any plans. I enjoy every aspect of life. I’m waiting for the NBA, but if it doesn’t happen, there are a lot of things on paper. But let’s move on.”
Marjanovic, 36, played in the NBA as a backup center, playing for the Pistons, Clippers, Sixers and Mavericks before joining the Rockets. Last season, he played just 14 games for Houston as a center off the bench. However, he is popular in the locker room, with the fans, and knows how to be a professional and provide quality minutes when his number is called. At 7-foot-10, he can block a few shots and protect the rim when needed.
After studying their options during training camp, it’s possible that a team decides they need a little more depth at center and calls up Marjanovic. However, he’s not stressed about it and knows he could still get a contract in Europe, but he’ll wait until the NBA is over and see what happens.
