The key thing of these ex yugo prospects is for them to be able for their pace to adjust in nba's game... jokic is slow but somehow he make it as an advantage,nemanja nedovic tried to match up with american game and didnt last long so as rade zagorac..if you dont shootlike peja and bogdan bogdanovic.. and some chubby guy named luka isnt fastest of all players..

I am very high on these two players , and they will get the chance to play in solid league the next season , with plenty of minutes on the court . Since their agent is the owner of the basketball club and the purpose of that club is to play talented players and make the profit off of them. MegaBemax is the best club in the Europe for the development of young talented players in Europe. Jokic,Zubac,Bitadze,Luwawu,Micic,Simonovic,Petrusev etc.

Jovic have won MVP of this qualifying tournament , 32 points, 12 rebounds and 7 assists in the finals . The game was a mixed bag from him, he was struggling a lot in the first half, was defended good and his three point shooting was off during the entire tournament, but I am not worry about his three point shooting , he can improve there. I think rest of the season he will play for the senior team , which is good for 17 year old player , plus he will play at the final euroleague junior tournament this spring and u19 world championship in the summer. A lot of opportunity to play against the good competition this yeas for him.

This is his teammate from the junior team , that have won the tournament, this is the latest game in Serbian league, Nikola Djurisic, 16 years old, good prospect on his own. The next season him and Jovic will play Adriatic league and I expect them being the starters on the team.

Jovic have played his second game with the senior team in Adriatic league today, 15 points , 5 rebounds , against arguably the best team in the league, he looked great out there.



There are extended highlights from the last week tournament.

He is starting for Mega A team now , this is his second start in Adriatic league , the next season he will be their best player . I think he's going to be the first round pick next year, probably lottery pick too.

The mix from the four game he played with Mega senior team ,end of the season. Over the weekend his team have won Serbian junior league championship, he was the MVP of the tournament. The next stop for him is the Euroleague junior finals tournament. He might be even 6"11 now, compared to his teammate center Musikic, he looks taller than him.

Yes, in 2022 he turns 19 and is under a pro contract outside of the US, thus he is eligible for early entry into the draft.

Jovic can however delay being drafted until 2025 at which time he automatically enters in his 22nd birthday year.

he needs to change his name...I can just imagine Shaq and Barkley having no clue who they're talking about when someone asks them Nikola Jokic vs Nikola Jovic

He just won his third MVP award this season, his team have won u19 ABA league tournament , I don't think he was superb in this tournament but he did enough to wins it, he is having some small nagging injuries too. So far he won euroleague qualifying tournament where he was the mvp, he won the Serbian junior league ,mvp of the regular season and the finals tournament and u19 ABA league tournament, MVP there too. The next for him and his team is the Euroleague junior finals , now I am not sure if he's going to play there, because the play off's for the senior teams he is playing for in Serbian league, are starting this week . I think he will play that tournament in Spain, but Real Madrid is the heavy favorite team to win that tournament again, but its a good chance for him and his teammates to measure themselves against the best competition for that age group in Europe . The good thing for Jovic , he is handling the ball a lot , like Jokic is doing in Denver, but Jovic is naturally a guard , his can go in any direction with the ball and his ball handle is superb for that size 6"10,6"11, he should be the lottery pick next year.
