Goran Dragic Undecided About Playing In World Cup 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Apr 12, 2023 1:23 pm

Goran Dragic recognizes that his NBA career is winding down. He's been with both the Chicago Bulls and Milwaukee Bucks this season, as he chases a championship ring.


Dragic also said he's undecided if he'll play for Slovenia in this summer's FIBA World Cup. Dragic played in last summer's EuroBasket with Slovenia and Luka Doncic.


“This is a different tournament because there are teams that you haven’t played before, such as the African and Asian teams," Dragic said. "But then everything is always the same, there are the United States, Australia, and other Europeans… It’s a tough tournament, we’ll see. I don’t know if I’m going to the World Cup yet. We’ll see what happens over time."


Dragic also said he'd like to see a tournament where top European clubs compete with NBA teams. He believes the best teams in Europe could compete with NBA teams in a tournament setting, while acknowledging that the NBA schedule is "brutal" compared to those of European leagues.
