Tyler Smith is in as well.

So we're waiting on Cody Williams and Reed Sheppard? I'm surprised Williams didn't declare right away. He seemed to always have one foot out the door.

Nikola is the common name in Serbia . The saint Nicholas is a very popular saint among Serbian people and Nikola's are name after him. The next NBA prospect named Nikola is Nikola Karalic coming from the same Mega club like the other three Nikola's, Jokic,Jovic and Djurisic

this is an interesting one, still think he could've been a 1st rounder based on RSCI and some nice on-ball juice, but if he comes back next year and improves as a lead guard look out.

complete exodus at Kentucky, looks like JQ is changing his mind too


I hope all these Kentucky guys don't just transfer to Arkansas and create the same over-crowded problem/situation as normal. They probably will though.

Edit: Right after I typed this, Ivisic did indeed go to Arkansas.
I feel like this was a bad decision by Ivisic.It didn't seem like Calipari knew how to leverage his strengths or give him much playing time. Why would you follow a coach like that?

High IQ bigs with excellent passing skills and shooting range are a rare, and valuable, breed. I would try to run my offense through him a la Jokic really frequently if I were coaching him.

Personally I would have considered selecting him in the lottery in this years draft.

Trust me he's not Jokic and you can't run the offense through him like that. I have watching Ivisic brothers since they were 15 and Zvonimir have never shown potential for that type of playing style.

He's worth of the second round pick. He's a stretch four. You never know how the big players will develop. There are another prospect player Filip Jovic who is playing 4 and 5 position on the same Mega team. He's undersized 6"9 but for the white player he's very bouncy. He might be picked in the second round too, this year or the next.

He's coming back

He's just testing the waters, like if he gets word he'll go at a certain range he'll probably stay in but he maintained his eligibility

It makes sense, even in a weak class he doesn't stand out like Castle and Clingan, and if he comes back next year he's probably the clear #1 option, so he's gonna bank on showing out next year which'll get him drafted higher even in a stronger class.
