Coach Dickson on Zeko: "We are really hopingthat we can get consistent quality play from Branimir this season.Last year was very disappointing and we think that he is capable ofso much more that he has only shown is flashes. We need for him toscore around the rim, anchor our front court defense and reboundboth backboards. Maybe the light will go off this year and he willbe a reliable and trustworthy player for this group."
