Vujacic Rewarded With Three Year Deal From Lakers After Breakout Season

Posted by Jeff Sack under NBA Free Agents 

The “Associated Press” reported Friday that the Los Angeles Lakers have re-signed restricted free agent Sasha Vujacic to a three year pact. The contract is reportedly worth $15 million over the three year deal. The Slovenian native became a key player off the bench this season as it was by far his best campaign in the Association.? The guard who just completed his fourth season in the NBA, averaged a career high 8.8 points, 2 rebounds per game. Vujacic was also a big component when he scored 20 points, as the Lakers defeated the Boston Celtics in game three of the NBA Finals. Los Angeles General Manager Mitch Kupchack told reporters “We felt Sasha made great progress in this past year, and our coach showed great confidence in playing him the second half of the season. Assuming he continues to work as hard during the off-season as he has in the past, I don’t see any reason that trend wouldn’t continue.” Los Angeles drafted Vujacic as selection number 27 in the 2004 NBA Draft.?
