Roko-Leni Ukic Roko is also blessed with long arms and quite good leaping skills. Roko still needs to learn how to play within the flow of an offense. Ukic is a true point guard whose transition game is fantastic, but he is also a good playmaker in the half court set. www.elitedraft.net /roko-leniukic.html   (778 words)

Eurobasket2005.com Sole weakness: Roko has to have the ball in his hands to be effective. Roko's direct rivals for playing time will be New Jersey's Planinic and Efes Pilsen's Popovic. Nevertheless, the Raptors drafted him a lowly 41st, so Roko shunned the big league and signed with Vitoria, in Spain. www.eurobasket2005.com /en/cid_SbGnUV12IgwUcAUu7UmfU1.teamID_2168.compID_qMRZdYCZI6EoANOrUf9le2.season_2005.roundID_3769.playerID_32362.html   (206 words)

BSMW Reader Features: June 2005 Archives Roko’s 6-9 wingspan is part of the reason for this, as he is easily able to poach the passing lanes for steals, when combining his reach and quickness. Roko pulled out of the 2004 draft largely because of what NBA scouts felt was a highly inconsistent jumper, and despite dominant performances against many of the prospects in that draft. Roko Leni-Ukic: This kid, desperately in need of a nickname as soon as he comes stateside, is a 21 year old “pure” point guard with the potential to be the in the same company of other great non-American points. www.bostonsportsmedia.com /archives/reader/2005_06.html   (7870 words)

DraftExpress Roko-Leni Ukic showed the world in the quarterfinals against Spain exactly what kind of a player he is. After playing only 12 minutes total in the first four games, Ukic got a great opportunity to shine when Croatia’s starting Point guard Zoran Planinic got injured at the start of the game. Roko Leni didn’t do the best job involving his teammates in the game as well. Ukic continued to play well in the fourth quarter by scoring another two points after penetrating, which were his last points of the game. www.draftexpress.com /viewarticle.php?mod=print&a=1086   (1887 words)

RealGM :: View topic - Is there really a promise to Roko? Roko participated in last year’s Nike Hoop Summit game, where he left a solid impression with 9 points and 4 assists, along with helping to hold Sebastian Telfair to 0-10 shooting from the field. Whereas Ukic is reportedly 6'5 with a wingspan of 6'9. Maybe someone was thinking about Ukic, Jack or Ellis, then when the results of the workout in Boston "leaked out" went ahead and made a promise to Ukic. www.realgm.com /boards/viewtopic.php?topic=386000   (1122 words)

FIBA.com - International Basketball Federation - international and national basketball news The NBA club chose Ukic 41st overall in this summer's draft, and anyone who watches Ukic play knows he will eventually cross the Atlantic to play in the world's elite league as he has already shown for both club and country that he is one of Europe's finest playmakers. Yes, Ukic was not a happy camper in the early stages of last month's EuroBasket in Serbia & Montenegro where he had to fight for playing time against the likes of New Jersey Nets point guard Zoran Planinic and Efes Pilsen's Marko Popovic. Ukic had to battle against Spanish international Jose Manuel Calderon, who ironically has signed for Toronto this summer with Ukic taking Calderon's place at Tau Ceramica in Spain. fiba.com /pages/en/news/interview_article.asp?r_act_news=9373&r_cat=274   (1277 words)

BasketballBoards.net - Insider Report on Roko Ukic I think that Jack will be a solid player inthe NBA, I think Roko will be a solid player as well, I also think that he has the potential to be special, I don't see that in Jack. Ukic worked out in Buffalo for our guys yesterday, I wonder when the report will be up on Raptors.com (it's not yet!) The turkish SF Ilyasova was also there. The more I read on Ukic the more I like him, if he is there at 16 and we don't take him I will be upset. www.basketballboards.net /forum/showthread.php?t=174789&page=1   (1584 words)

TSN.ca - NBA - Canada's Sports Leader Ukic could conceivably earn a spot on the team next season with Alvin Williams still on the mend and Milt Palacio becoming a free agent. The Raptors may have landed a gem in Ukic, the No. 4-ranked point guard in the draft, who was a surprise when he was still around for the Raptors to take him at No. 42. Villanueva and Graham come from solid college programs where they played for demanding coaches, while Ukic and Slokar have been starters in Europe for several seasons. www.tsn.ca /news_story.asp?ID=129184&hubName=nba-raptors   (720 words)

TheStar.com - Raptor pick Ukic opts for Europe Roko Ukic, the 6-5 Croatian point guard taken 41st by Toronto in last month's NBA draft, has reportedly agreed to terms on a four-year contract with Tau Ceramica of the Spanish league, leaving the Raptors to scurry after a suitable backup to Rafer Alston for the coming season. Although Roko Ukic has signed a contract with Tau Ceramica, the Raptors will continue to retain the point guard’s NBA rights. Ukic's decision is surprising given he himself told a Croatian newspaper last week he'd agreed to terms with the Raptors and would be in Toronto for training camp Aug. 1. www.thestar.com /NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=thestar/Layout/Article_Type1&c=Article&cid=1122241808804&call_pageid=969907729483&col=970081562040   (523 words)

Eurobasket - World Championships for Juniors 2003 Ukic had 22 points, 7 steals and 6 assists, Kedzo finally connected with 19 points, 6 rebounds and 5 steals and Omerhodzic expressed himself with 18 points and 10 rebounds. Ukic, that just nailed a huge 3 pointer to tie the game, called the play after Baby Shaq hit 2 free throws to set the score on 70-72 for Greece. Ukic almost made a turnover, but somehow the ball went to Damir Omerhodzic (210-C/F-85)’s hand. www.eurobasket.com /events/wcu18/wcjun03.asp   (7868 words)

The Great Debate: Who's the best International prospect in this year's NBA Draft? (Root for Roko) - Sports One player who stands out to me is Roko Ukic (ROW-ko OO-kich), a Croatian point guard who on the surface resembles an anorexic Jason Biggs, but on the court resembles a taller Tony Parker. Ukic is viewed as a late first-round pick, but that kind of expert opinion means little when you consider Darko Milicic and Nickoloz Tskitishvili were taken in the top five, while Manu Ginobli, Mehmet Okur and Parker were all taken 28th or worse. His 18.5 points per game and 4.3 assists are nothing to sniff at, and when you consider he managed to shoot 54 percent from the field, you've got yourself an offensive talent. www.dailyutahchronicle.com /media/paper244/news/2005/05/27/Sports/The-Great.Debate.Whos.The.Best.International.Prospect.In.This.Years.Nba.Draft.ro-954430.shtml   (492 words)

SI.com - NBA - Turned ankles turn fortunes in Chicago - Thursday June 10, 2004 4:19PM Erazem Lorbek, a former 6-foot-11 Michigan State Spartan from Slovenia, Sasha Vujacic, a 6-7 shooting guard from Slovenia, Roko Ukic, a 6-5 point guard from Croatia and Ha Seung-Jin, a 7-3 center from Korea all displayed their wares and showed that they are outstanding shooters and players to watch. Ukic was hoping to play at the Chicago pre-draft camp, but the NBA, leery that he might pull his name out of the draft, did not invite him. Ukic did a nice defensive job on Sebastian Telfair, holding the New York City playmaker to a 1-of-10 shooting performance at the Hoops summit. sportsillustrated.cnn.com /2004/basketball/nba/06/10/monter.rumors4/index.html   (868 words)

article.jsp?content=20050724_170419_3200 Sportsnet.ca -- The Toronto Raptors 2005 second round pick, Roko Ukic, has signed a deal through 2009 with Tau Ceramica of the Spanish League, according to a report on a Croatian website. Ukic was expected to make the Raptors this upcoming season to add much-needed depth to their backcourt. But it appears Ukic chose to sign a more lucrative four-year deal with Tau Ceramica after being offered a lesser contract, reflective of a second-round selection by the Raptors. www.sportsnet.ca /nba/article.jsp?content=20050724_170419_3200   (343 words)

NBA draft Ukic would have been a top prospect any other year, but there are a ton of talented point guards, which could push Ukic toward the bottom part of the first round.

Toronto Raptors Blog » Blog Archive » RaptorsHQ Goes European Uros, much like Roko however, will have games (mostly due to inexperience) where the minutes just are not there, and in the season’s second game that was the case as Uros played less than 10 minutes with little to show for it (2 points, 2 rebounds). Roko was signed to replace now current Raptor Jose Calderon. The story with Uros is a little different than Roko’s as although Uros is not starting, he is getting some quality minutes and producing at a good level. raptors.fan.ca /index.php/archives/2005/11/23/raptorshq-goes-european   (772 words)

Because if the Celtics draft Roko Leni Ukic, as some predict, it would be best if contract issues and a fondness for all Croatia has to offer kept the 21-year-old guard...

Roko Ukic & Juan Mendez Update - JBB 2006 But when it came to pick No. 41, about 25 picks after Ukic figured he'd be taken in Tuesday's NBA draft, it all became clear, and quite acceptable, to the point guard who looms large in next year's Raptor plans. I remember they were interviewing Ukic before the draft and they asked him what teams he thought were interested in him. Raps, Phoenix, SA I'm happy that Ukic seems content to be with the Raptors. www.justbball.com /forums/showthread.php?t=39371   (332 words)

Roko Ukic.... - Arizona Sports Fans Network I like Ukic and what he might be able to bring to the team, but I just have too many reservations about drafting a backup point guard at #21... Ukic, 21, is projected to go somewhere in the mid-tolate first round.
