Duje Dukan relishing opportunity to come home with Windy City Bulls

The last time Windy City Bulls forward Duje Dukan played in front of his family he was averaging 23.0 points and 9.5 rebounds for his Deerfield Warriors' high school team.

Since then Dukan earned scholarship to Wisconsin, made the Sacramento Kings roster as an undrafted rookie, played in Croatia and, earlier this year, for the Austin Spurs.

But when the 6-foot-9 Dukan was traded from Austin to the Windy City Bulls late last month it was a homecoming of sorts for the Chicago native.

"It's a great opportunity. I haven't been able to play in front of my family and friends for five or six years, ever since high school," Dukan told CSN's Mark Schanowski.
