Those are not good numbers. Surprised he's seen as a top 10

He needs to improve his three point shooting. He seems to be liked very much so maybe you and I are just not seeing it.

His weath Wil depend on if he evolves his three point shooting or not.

Agreed. If he shoots it well moving forward, he very well might end up a SGA caliber player.

If the shot never develops...he's likely closer to Jarrett Culver.

Interesting prospect for outside of the lottery. But he's the exact same archetype as Mo Gueye (and Ulrich Chomche).

I'm still working on my own Big Board. But this one is pretty close to where I stand today.

Risacher is NOT in my top-5. Castle is top-3. A healthy Topic was easily a top-5 talent in the draft class.

Buzelis should be higher in my opinion.

Matas is unquestionably a top-5 talent in this draft class IMO.

Spurs or Jazz likely scoop him up late in the top-10

Best pick-and-roll playmaker: Nikola Topic, PG, Red Star Belgrade (Serbia)

Watch on YouTube

Topic ranked as one of the best pick-and-roll players in European basketball already as an 18-year-old, which is scary considering how point guards typically improve in this area with age and experience. His ability to make instantaneous reads mapping out the court and processing the game with precision is a rare and coveted commodity in today's NBA. Pocket passes, skips, lobs, using the strong or weak side -- he sprays the ball all over the floor with incredible timing and accuracy. He is also patient while probing and putting defenders in a hostage dribble by using or rejecting screens and adjusting on the fly to every coverage.

Topic, ranked No. 10 in ESPN's Top 100, uses his unique, unflappable demeanor no matter how defenses try to slow him down. The fact that he's not only an outstanding passer, but also an absolute force as a driver getting into the paint and finishing aggressively through contact (60% 2P% in 23 games this season) at 6-foot-7 should allow him to shoulder significant usage in the fast-paced NBA, especially as his jump shot continues to improve. -- Givony
