Mike Ulmer ( novinar ) o tome tko će biti prva zamjena Calderonu u Raptorsima ( zaključak na kraju svog komentara " The backup point guard battle" ):
Calderon isn’t exactly a geriatric. At 27, he’s just three years older than Ukic. As he establishes himself as a starter, Calderon’s minutes could reach up into the mid 30s leaving less and less for the backup.
So no matter who is the first man off the bench after Calderon comes out, the wheel is turning toward Ukic. He is a very capable dribbler and passer. Solomon is a better defensive player but Ukic is clearly the face of the future, a six-foot-five ballhandler who isn’t infatuated by his own shooting (and shouldn’t be if his one for seven pre-season mark from beyond the arc is any indication).
Besides, the job isn’t that daunting. Move the ball, get it to Andrea Bargnani and the rest of the second unit and get back. The Raptors top five, Chris Bosh, Jermaine O’Neal, Jamario Moon, Anthony Parker and Calderon is so good, on many nights all the second unit will have to do is tread water.
Koliko vidim nazire se ipak pobjeda Ukića u dvoboju sa Solomonom za poziciju broj dva, kao zamjena Calderonu. najvjerojatnije nekih 15-ak minuta po utakmici. Ako Ukić bude dobro radio, a vjerujem da hoće moguće da će i pozicija Calderona uskoro biti upitna. Sretno Roko.
