MILWAUKEE (2010 FIBA World Championship) – Croatia’s Roko-Leni Ukic doesn't get many opportunities these days with the Milwaukee Bucks so when he does, he needs to make the most of them.

Having failed to get off the bench in three of the Bucks' previous four games - all defeats - Ukic played 25 minutes on Wednesday and scored 17 points while handing out four assists in the Bucks' 117-95 drubbing of Toronto.

Ukic got a chance to play with Charlie Bell unavailable for the game and Luke Ridnour unable to play big minutes due to a partially dislocated elbow.

Here is a look at how other potential players at the FIBA World Championship fared on Wednesday.
