Have any of you seen Roko-Leni Ukic in action? What do you think of his skills?

ALSO...which of the following players have you seen a bit of and who's likely to succeed in the NBA in your opinion? Splitter and Vazquez are going to go pretty quickly, lottery most likely. Andriuskevicius I've seen nothing of, but dip me in guacamole if he doesn't have "Darko 2" written all over him.

Tiago Splitter
Fran Vazquez
Martynas Andriuskevicius
Nemanja Aleksandrov
Johan Petro
Rodolfo Fernandez
Angelo Gigli
Vladimir Veremeenko
Erazem Lorbek
Mickael Gelabale
Stefano Mancinelli
Marcelo Huertas
Uros Slokar
 
Ukic has the NBA talent but is nor ready yet (physically)

Same goes for Lorbek

Aleksandrov could be a star in the NBA one day. Very tall, very good shooter and very skilled. He will be a high pick if he does not rush in the NBA. Only 18 years old. Not close to being ready, currently injured.
 
I'll tell you which two players from ex Yugoslavia caught my eye:
Uros Tripkovic - Partizan (Serbia)
Marko Tomas - Zagreb (Croatia)
I would be stunned if they do not become solid NBA players.
 
Ukic is extremely quick, an amazing dribbler, and has the defensive mindset that would be great on a team like the Lakers. ;)

He'll probably go mid-first round, perhaps as high as 10 or 11th.

And it appears that I'm not the only one who thinks Tomas and Tripkovic will be quality NBA players. Tomas as #6 and Tripkovic as #17 pick.

I'm not doubting your assessments, but that mock is a joke. Martynas at #1 over Williams/Bogut/Paul? "An interior monster too tough to be contained," whose averaging 1.6 ppg? Felton at 13? Vazquez at 19? Taft at 28?
 
I really don't see Simien going in the double digits. I mean, the guy is a finalist for the Naismith award, and this mock draft has him at 27?
