Nikola Topic, one of the most hyped up draft prospects has talked about the upcoming draft and his injury woes.
The young Serbian player has wowed scouts and draft analysts. He is projected by most to be a top 10 pick in the first round. He is humbled about that, as he said to Jonathan Givony.
“Wherever I go, it will be my pleasure. My approach will be the same. Whether it’s Atlanta Hawks San Antonio Spurs, or Detroit Pistons, I just want to be the best I can be and make everyone around me better”, said Nikola Topic at the beginning.
While he has impressed the scouts, he has also worried them. He was injured for most of the latter half of the season, and he is still not running.
“I’m not 100% healed. I haven’t started running or practicing with the basketball. I’m focusing on rehab, on my body and knee.”
Topic has been named as the ABA League’s top prospect this season. He has played for Crvena Zvezda and Mega in the 2023/2024 season.
