Remember a while back......ohhhh...January 31, 2008.
The Toronto Raptors signed Croatian guard Roko Leni Ukić to a three-year deal Wednesday. The Croatian point guard's agent, Marc Cornstein, met Raptors president/general manager Bryan Colangelo yesterday and finalized the contract.
Ukić, 22, was the Raptors’ second-round pick (41st) in the 2005 draft, played 19 games for Italy's Lottomatica Virtus Roma last season, averaging 11.5 points, 2.8 assists, 2.4 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 29.3 minutes a game.
He began his professional career in 2000 with KK Split in Croatia, where he spent four seasons. He played in Spain for two more years, winning the Spanish national championship twice.
Welcome Roko!
Roko, I wish you all the best next season. Hopefully, the Raptors go 80-2 this season, with both losses coming against the Lakers.
