| Predrag Stojakovic (Sacramento Kings) |
Sacramento's Predrag Stojakovic, a 23-year-old forward from Yugoslavia, came into this NBA season averaging just 10.5 points in his first two campaigns in the league, both of which saw him play mainly in a reserve role. But he has been a huge surprise early this season, averaging 20.8 points and 6.4 rebounds after ten games.

Stojakovic grabbed a career-high 17 rebounds as the Lakers defeated the Kings 112-110 on November 16.
Center Vlade Divac, Stojakovic's teammate in Sacramento scored a season-high 21 points against Orlando Magic on November 14th.
The third Yugoslav player in NBA league, Dragan Tarlac, who signed with the Chicago Bulls last summer, isn't so successful as his countrymen, averaging 3.3 points and 4 rebounds per game in his first season.
