Anyone think he'll come over after this season?

[bigbabyjesus]

^ No, because we would have to buy him out, as opposed to waiting a year and getting him for no buy out.

[ansoncarter]

we need Omar Cook back for next year

hopefully the belgians taught him how to shoot

Roko plays well in Tau's last game:

10 points, 6 assists in 24 minutes.

In his previous match he had 10 points, 2 rebounds, an assist, and a steal in 13 minutes.

The game before that, 11 points in 12 minutes:

Where do you think he'd go in the upcoming draft? I don't see many other better point guard prospects out there.

I also wonder if he gets many Raptor games. I know when Babs visited they were able to watch the game that day in his apartment.

I think we should definitely try. I think that it was Babcock's confidence with either Calderon or Ukic that helped him pull the trigger and bring over James' shorter contract.

I would have no problem giving him a mid-first rounder's contract (that should cover any buyout) and bring him over. He's not really getting much burn with TAU this season, I'm sure he'd like to come over here and play 15-20 rather than 10 mpg there.

I think there's a reasonable chance to bring him over if we want to. However, Babs might decide it's better to wait, especially if he's looking to sign MJ in the summer.

Apparently Roko didn't play all that well in his last game (where Tau blew out there opponent) but still got 6 points and 3 assists, including a buzzer beating 3.

Probly no. He have option in contract that after 2 years he can leave and go (only) to Toronto without no buyout.

I watched game Tau vs. Olimpija. He impruved since last time I watched him. He doesn't hold ball in his hands like he used to do before, and he dosen't forces shoots like he did in Split. He also impruved his shooting, and plays D much more agressive than before, even I think he is litle bit stronger, but he is stil skiny and have problems in D with blocks, and finishing around the rim. In the game he had some spectacular moves scoring 10pt. and 6asists.. Olimpija was close in the game and when he enterd in the game Tau went to 30 point lead because when Prigioni was in the game Olimpija's guards was abel to beat first line, but when Roko enterd in the game he stoped their penentration leaving Olimpija without no quality organisation. Bad thing for him is that he plays along with virtuosity PG Prigioni and he doesn't have much playing time, but the good side is that he can learn much from him.

I know you are interesting in Splitter. I think he would be perfect fit for Toronto at centar spot. He is already great defensman and since last time I saw him he impruved in ofense and plays more cofindent.

btw Slokar finaly saw some playin time in Italian league. He scored 20point and 6boards

Great update....good to see some news on Slokar. Do you Know if any of the Euro's who plan to play in the NBA are working on their bodies in the weight room? Roko and Slokar are a little thin....I don't want to see them "bulk up" but add 10-15 pounds of muscle....it sure would help the transission to the BIG league.

Probly yes, but in europ basketball is playing whole year so players don't have much time to go in the weight room and also in international game is more inportant to know how to play then to have muscles.

Keep up the updates, Boris!! Appreciated, and repped.

[SkywalkerAC]

Word is that Roko hasn't been playing all that well of late in his limited minutes. On the flip side, Splitter has been great.

[SkywalkerAC]

Anyone have updates here? I assume he hasn't been getting much time of late...
