Topic is not #1 on my board, but he's one of the few I wouldn't be mad at if we picked him.
If we taking a pg then he's the only one I would take top 5. Not a fan of Sheppard at all.

Re: 2024 Draft Prospect: Nikola Topic
are you comfortable picking someone coming off a major knee injury?

Re: 2024 Draft Prospect: Nikola Topic
Lottery night, I will be watching to see if we slot ahead of the Spurs and Wizards. Jazz jumping into play is not worth the worry.
Basically a coin flip between Wizards, Spurs, and Hornets.
Elite court vision, IQ and playmaking are all coveted on his level. You can't pass on him if he's there.
He goes #1 overall for Spurs, Wizards, Hornets, Jazz.
He changes the game in a draft that won't move the needle for 95% of the teams (or more).

Re: 2024 Draft Prospect: Nikola Topic
i updated the initial post as you made him a year older than he is, he's a kid, an interesting, promising project.
you can't teach smarts and he seems to have it, so he's up there for me.

Topic is one of the few guys in this draft that seems like he has the attributes that will lead to success at NBA level.

Re: 2024 Draft Prospect: Nikola Topic
Here is what I will say as well about Topic and Melo. There is a difference between playing two 6-2 pgs together and struggling vs playing two 6-6 point guards together.
Realistically the #1 seed in the West is playing 3 college point guards together in SGA, Giddey, Jalen Williams. and that seems to be working out for them.

"Topić started progressing in his recovery from his knee injury and was spotted recently shooting and doing other on-court activities with the team. He could be limited in workouts during the pre-draft process, but it appears he will be ready for the start of next season."

Yes, that is common for Europe.
