Nikola Topic, still a player of Crvena Zvezda, eagerly awaits the NBA draft where he will find out his new team in the NBA.
Although information surfaced a few days ago that Nikola Topic wouldn’t be invited to the “green room,” it ultimately did happen. This somewhat guarantees that the Serbian point guard will be selected between the fifth and fifteenth positions, according to reports from American media.
As reported by American journalist Jonathan Givony, Nikola Topic has received an invitation to bring his family with him on June 26 to the Barclays Center in New York during the NBA draft night. Each player in the green room can invite a maximum of six guests, which is fewer than last year when players were allowed ten guests.
“The San Antonio Spurs typically value size at positions, as well as feel for the game, his character… Moreover, the franchise has attracted a large number of international players in recent years. The idea of drafting players with torn ACLs, like Nikola Topic, may not be as attractive, especially since Nikola will likely sit out the next season.
However, history has shown that players are drafted based on what they could be in five years, not five months. Topic has great size for a point guard and perhaps the best feel for the game of any player in this year’s draft. He excels in leading fast breaks after steals and breaking down opposing defenses. His most important area of improvement will be his shooting,” reads the report by Jonathan Givony.
