Player career

In 2000 he became a team player in the first club selection of KK Split. In 2005 Ukić took part in the 2005 NBA draft and was appointed to the Canadian basketball team of the Toronto Raptors . In order to escape the "reserve role", Roko Leni Ukić did not immediately move to Toronto, but to the Spanish basketball team TAU Cerámica . He spent a season at TAU Cerámica Vitoria and then moved to Catalan rival Barcelona in 2006 . At Barcelona Ukić was used on the player position of a point guard . In 2007 Roko Ukić changed basketball club again and was signed to Lottomatica Roma for one season in Italy , under the direction of his Croatian national and club coach Jasmin Repeša .
