<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> Sources indicate the Celtics may have a promise in place with Croatian point guard Roko-Leni Ukic. And while this is still just speculation, a number of factors are beginning to point to this. GMs Danny Ainge and Carroll Dawson were both on hand less than two weeks before the draft and took a long hard look at Ukic in Treviso, and both teams could definitely use a point guard. With Ainge spending as much time as he did in Treviso, (3 days) it's obvious he had a keen eye on the talented playmaker. A promise with Ukic is now considered a strong possibility. Past history shows that Ainge likes to target a player and get a promise in place. Ukic fits into the Celtics up tempo style of play, and should develop into a better playmaker and pro than former Celtic Jiri Welsch and Net combo guard Zoran Planninic. Ukic has more point guard abilities, and tons of talent. it's just a question of how well his game fits the NBA style. He is very good at improvising, which is exactly how the NBA game differs from the European game.</div> http://nbadraft.net/draftbuzz045.asp
Wouldn't be a bad choice. I'm hoping though that the Raptors take him at 16 (if they don't take a PG [Felton] with their first pick). From what I have seen and read, he reminds me a lot of Tony Parker. It doesn't seem like he'll be chosen infront of the Raptors, so when he reaches 16, I hope we take him. If your number one choice is to take a PG in the draft, then Ukic seems like the guy over Jack. His tempo and playing making ability seems to fit in well with the Celtics more than Jack.
