Team 2008-09: FC BARCELONA (Spain-ACB) Career: Slovan Ljubljana (Slovenia- 1A, 1997-2001), Krka Novo Mesto (Slovenia- 1A, 2001-02), Panathinaikos (Greece-ESAKE, 2002-06), F.C. Barcelona (Liga-ACB, 2006-09)
Jaka Lakovic is a general on the court, the kind of player who leads his team to success. For the past seven seasons, Jale has been the leader of two of the greatest teams in EuroLeague in Panathinaikos and Barcelona, but he hasn't won the competition yet. This season he finished in third place with the Spanish team, scoring 14 points against Olympiakos in the third place game. Back in 2001, he shocked all observers, pouring in 38 points for Krka Novo Mesto against Real Madrid in Spain in just his second game in the EuroLeague. Since then, he has shown his above average offensive skills for club and national team. Along with his good court-vision and great passing ability, Lakovic is famous for his very smooth hands behind the three-point line. He's never better than in money time. No doubt, Jaka is one of the best clutch players in the EuroBasket. Lakovic was the main reason Slovenia clinched seventh place at EuroBasket 2007 against France. |
