    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Roko Leni Ukic, Croatian point guard, who had valid contract with Barcelona but was loaned to Lottomatica Roma last year, won’t continue his career with the Spanish team. Spanish newspaper “Marca” is writing that Barca set Ukic free and gave him freedom to find new club.

    This could mean that Ukic is heading toward Toronto Raptors who selected him as 41. pick at the 2005 draft. With the departure of TJ Ford, who was traded to Indiana Pacers, Toronto has only one point guard remaining – Spaniard Jose Manuel Calderon and desperately needs backup for him.</div>

    How do Raptors fans feel about this? Do you think Ukic is good enough to be a 2nd/3rd string point guard for Toronto?

    lack of a better term, yes
    long and only needs to play like 18 minutes a game at the very very max
    learning from a guy who was in the same situation in Calderon
    good move
