Haha, seriously. Less with the TOs, more with the assists! But I like him so far, no serious complaints at the moment.

watching will in the pregame warmups his shot just looks like its going to be inconsistent. But so far so good, hopefully he can keep up how he played today. Roko seems like much more dynamic player though, i can see him taking over if will starts struggling with his shot, hes much better at creating shots for others. His jumper is eqully prone to inconsistency right now though. Right now will has done enough to hang on to the backup pg spot but i wouldnt be surprised if him and roko reversed roles before too long

Ukic sucks? Did you guys watch the game last night. Ukic was beating his man off the dribble and making good passes.

Am I alone on this one?

Definitely not. He looked awesome on both ends. I really like his defensive upside.

I'd sure like to play him over Hassan Adams. Especially since Solomon can't handle as well.

I much rather Ukic be the primary backup than Soloman. Outside of the development factor too.

Soloman cannot run an offense to save his life. Everytime he came in last night our offense went to a halt. He doesn't know how to take care of the ball either, turnovers none stop. Sure he can shoot, but I rather he be instant offense off the bench than a backup pg.

Ukic has really good ball handling skills, there were a couple occassions where he drove to the net and literally the entire Knicks offense crowded him...Leaving almost everyone open.

So far I really think he's our best slasher from what I've seen. And has the drive and dish mastered.

Pre-season ball is a goat rodeo - you can't make statements like "Solomon can't run an offense" because he wasn't out there with Bosh, JO or even Bargnani. Same with Ukic. In a regular season game, Mitchell can make it easier on the back-ups by making sure Bosh is on the court so all they need to so is get him the ball.

Last year when TJ was out S-Mitch would sit Calderon and Bosh at the same time. Naturally, D-Mart wasn't able to create any offense and the Raptors lost a couple of games they should have won as a result.

To my great surprise though, Roko looked promising.

Still a Ukic booster (also at the 2 spot).... but both have looked promising so far.

Nickname for Solomon? ---------> SOLO.

The obvious Star Wars reference and also because Will can definitely get his own shot off.

To early for Ukic, until he can show Sam in practise that he is ready to handle the load he shouldnt see gametime in the regular season. You can see Ukic will likely develop into a solid backup pg in this league but we cannot afford to develop him and let him play through his mistakes right off the bat. This season is not about development, its about winning now.

Calderon is the first PG choice of my fantasy game behind Chris Paul and D.Williams
