We took a swing on the highest upside that was available, goto respect that.

The potential of a 6'11 wing scorer is clear.

I’m getting his jersey the first chance I get. Oof
Imagine all the Serbian women this kid will bring to Miami. Oof

trying to think about his comps -

I'm somewhere between a 6'10 Herro to a quicker, better handle Gallinari.

Still waiting if the Heat will sign him.

He's a keeper, bet on that.

Staff liked his fit, offensive skillset and upside.

Now let's pray he's not Duncan on defense.

Looks very promising based of posted the videoclip. Curious to see if he ll find a spot in the rotation next season.

I often think white to white comparisons are lazy, but Gallo is a good comp. Gallinari was a much better player at 19, but he never truly developed and got close to his potential. Was/probably still is a solid pro, but I hope Jovic can become something more. Gonna be rooting for the kid.

Surprisingly physical for his age

Played against grown men, baby.

Leggo.

Calling this a steal would be an understatement. He should have never dropped that far down.

Heat have given him a number, I don’t see them trading him at this point. If they had picked him for someone else they would be a little smoother about the way they’re hyping him.

Word on his workouts is that he didn’t shoot as well as expected in an empty gym & overall teams weren’t as wowed as they were expecting to be.

His tantrums and body language at the U19 worlds has given some teams case to pause as well. But he’s handled himself well throughout the second half of their season, despite COVID & an injury.

I guess we’ll have to wait and see what we get in Summer League. I hope he’s playing lots of minutes.

No complaints on this pick, especially at #27. The potential is there to roll the dice on.

whoever came up with the cherry blossom themed jerseys

Exactly, I had him going late lotto to 20. I didn’t seem him slipping past the early 20s at most. Hopefully we end up a great landing spot for him and we maximise his potential as a small ball 4.

Or put 10 pounds of muscle on him and play him at center.

I'm tempering my expectations. As long as he can become the best pick we've ever made, we should be good. He's basically KD 2.0.
