Geoff Petrie should watch the olimpics
So, are you guys watching the basketball tournament in Beijing?
I'm personally rooting for Spain and Croatia. Spain team is loaded with future (Rubio), current (Calderon, Gasol brothers, Fernandez) and former nba talent (Navarro, Garbajosa), and Croatia has a nice, deep roster with some great shooters (although with not nearly as much star power). They also have an interesting young player at pg - Roko Leni Ukic, whom i wanted to introduce to you. He's still somewhat an unknown commodity in the States, but that will change as he'll be Calderon's understudy for the Raptors this year (i'm really jealous of Toronto wealth at pg).
I would say he's an older and less talented version of Ricky Rubio - both possess similar skills: nice athletic ability, great feel for the game and passing skills and are rather average shooters. He also has great size for the position - he's 6-5.
So, if he creates some buzz this year, remember where you heard about him first. Enjoy the footage.
