I think he won't go to this year draft , he is going for 2016.

Center , 7'0 , 7'3wingspan

This year in ABA league , 10pts , 7.9reb (3.7of.reb) , 59.5%FG.
He was is big talent , but unfortunately he had lot of injury problems. He had mononucleosis,constant problems with his back, and ankle problems. Finally , this season he is much better with those issues. If anyone can make him worth of NBA contract , that is his coach , Vujosevic (he "made" pretty good centers - Divac,Paspalj,Pekovic,Krstic).

You can see his good stuff on youtube , so i'm only going to tell where he need to improve. He need to improve his FT% , p'n'r defense (in offensive is not that big issue) , his low-post game. He had good shoot from mid-distance , i don't know why he don't use that more. He also has a nice touch around the rim , but in this stage he has a little problems with his post game. Nice sense for assist.

In addition , today he had 17&10 with 4 asist and 5 blocks.

Question: is every pro prospect in the Balkans named Nikola?

Yeah....that is our thing. When huge babies pop out we name them Nikola in hope that they become pro prospects one day
All the other pro prospect that are not named Nikola are just **** that grew up unexpectedly

He is just not NBA caliber.I doubt any1 draft him, even in the 2nd round.

Nikola is doing great job in Serbian Superleague. He is best Partizan player so far.
And he is monster in off.rebounding , 5.2 offensive rebounds per game for 27mpg (9.4def+off).

Back and ankle issues are always trouble for bigs. Hard if he stays healthy I can see a second round pick being spent on the guy as a depth big.
