Kapetanovic had to sit out all of last season after transferring to Penn from Brown, consistently one of the Ivy League's worst teams. As a sophomore at Brown, Kapetanovic averaged 6.9 points and 4.0 rebounds per game. He started 30 of 51 games in his career there and once scored 16 points in 21 minutes against Penn. When the Quakers open their season tonight at Kentucky, Kapetanovic will be seeing at least one familiar face -- he played against the Wildcats' Jamaal Magloire in AAU competition while in Canada. Kapetanovic is officially from Ottawa, but has lived all around the world. He was born in New York, as his father, Goran, was a Yugoslavian diplomat, and has lived in Belgrade and Egypt. Kapetanovic has a strong basketball family background. Goran played professionally in France and Oggie's brother, Vigor, played for Penn from 1994 to 1996.
