Roko a little on the rare side

Arsenalist has Roko in the crosshairs, being surprised at his rawness. Here’s a clip:

I was surprised at how raw Ukic really was. I didn’t expect a refined product but was hoping for him to be of reliable service, after all he’d been playing regularly on some of the better teams in Europe for a few years. The thinking was that instead of playing four years of college ball he got his learning done through a different, maybe even a better, means. Turns out there’s no real substitute for NCAA training and I was a fool for even entertaining that thought.

I had the same question a little while back. Check out the answers from our man in Spain.

On the whole, a pretty positive review and scouting report by Arsenalist, although the outlook is rather sober:

In the best case, he’s the slasher and distributor that we need, in the worst case he’s a guy you can’t afford to have on the floor because he doesn’t threaten without the ball.

C’mon, Roko, get cookin’ this summer. Justify our jersey love.
