    The NBA will see that when Roko averages 8 points, 8 assists.

    He shot something like 55% from the field for Roma last season. That's frikkin' awesome if he can translate that ability to the NBA.

    He's put on 20lbs since we drafted him. I hope that is a good sign.

    I have really high hopes for this kid. There are people waiting with their claws out, though, so I hope he is good right away for his sake. The "I told you so!" gang is a big one in Hogtown.

    Yea, I was surprised by his listed weight as well. I had a European Shaun Livingston pictured.

    He'll be playing against Canada tomorrow, so hopefully somebody's able to catch that game.

    20 minutes, 3 points, 5 rebounds, 3 steals, 2 assists. Supposedly was effective running the team offense.
