No way here, man. He might be ok for combo guard, but no size and body for 3 definately. Anyway hes a pointguard now and should be in future in my eyes. Hes playing best at 1, so why to search for smth else...
As for yesterday's game. He went in in 2nd quarter and totally didnt feel the game. I was calm watching my Zalgiris with Roko at the point, while Prigioni was always creating and dangerous. With Roko it was easier for us. But I think its the high level and very high intensity, which wasnt good for him coming off the bench yesterday. He just didnt feel into to the game if you know what I mean. He didnt play in 2nd half, because Tau started trailing and they couldnt risk with letting him in.

Apparently it took them 19 hours to get to Kaunas from Barcelona. How long would it usually take?

Well thats an excuse, but I talked to Luis Scola and Kornel David after the game, asked them about the reasons they lost and they even didnt mention that long travel was one of them. To answer the question I think flight would take about ~3-4 hours and another hour fixing visa issues or stuff in airport and getting to the hotel. This time it was longer because of the fog they had to land in Warsaw and to go to Kaunas with bus. BTW you said Barcelona, arent they flying from Vitoria (or simply you mixed the cities)?

Re: Official Roko Leni-Ukic Season Thread
Some stats from Roko's two games.
Shooting guard Serkan Erdogan is injuried for a couple of weeks. A different position, but in the backcourt no the less, maybe he'll get some more minutes trickling down to him.
Tau plays again on wednesday.
c'mon Roko learn hard!

Re: Official Roko Leni-Ukic Season Thread
Not exactly overworking him over there, are they? 12 and a half minutes a game, with a grand total of 5 shots, 3 trips to the line, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals, 1 turnover and 3 fouls. Good numbers, but boy, he could be getting that amount of playing time on the Raptors.

Those numbers are total in all 3 Euroleague games so far, right? Anyway Tau has won yesterday 87:70 on road vs Olimpija, very poor team this season. Ukic has played 13 minutes and had 9 points. You can see boxscore here. http://www.euroleague.net/stats/stat...a=3&partido=25
Also theres short clip about him with few moments from this game. I dont know what he says, also I dont know how much will link work, so watch it quick  Last episode is with clear traveling of his, which went uncalled... Ukic's number 10 btw. http://sportal.siol.net/default.asp?...10511151542430 Press on Velik talent Roko Ukic or simply here

Re: Official Roko Leni-Ukic Season Thread
9 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and a couple steals (I think) in Tau's last victory, in under 20 minutes.
