Impressive in FIBA U19 so far. Would love to see him vs the US squad. See some Danilo Gallinari in his body type/game.

He's not eligible for NBA draft until 2022, correct?

He's eligible this year, he turned 18 in June, but he wont declare for this year NBA Draft.

He's not eligible for this year. Starting from 2022.
You can remember it's the last number of the birth year -1. Jovic was born in 2003 so he is eligible in 2022

this cat is a stud, hard to keep him out the top5 if he keeps this up and gets even better.

is he jokic's son or some crap? plays awfully similar. an nba team should acqiure mega and extract the next jokic's.
that team has disgusting amt of nba talents every yr.

I dont think their games are similar. Jovic is the perimeter player, he's usually main ball handler on his team , but at this tournament he's playing at SF and he's doing very will, I think his position at pro level is SF and he can cover some PF if needed.

He's going to get plenty of time on the court playing for the professional Mega club in a solid league this upcoming season. I am expecting big season from him.

I know that Mega Bemax has really prioritized getting and playing young players but the amount of quality talent that they're producing is really absurd.

They are pretty much agency club, owned by the basketball agent , they develop young players so they can make the money off of them and also they are resurrecting careers of some of their clients, thats the purpose of that club.

Just because he dink over young guys he was tagged as tom chambers prototype..is he a 4 or a 2.. we will see in mega as he has nba jumper potential ala gallo but a handy also in the post..defense be damned

I think he is a 3/4, just like young Gallo. People forget how mobile and athletic young Gallo was before the injuries.

I can see Jovic being the #2 option on a deep playoff caliber team. He is really good.

I am fine with Gallinari comparison , he's the one of the players I compare Jovic with , Jovic is the better passer and Gallo is the
better three point shooter I would say , there are similarities in their games.

Gallo is a horrid comp. This kid is the real deal. Dude looks like a Euro KD out there.

reamily · Post #55 » by **reamily** » Wed Jul 14, 2021 6:27 am

Kd is too much I see him as the nba reincaranation of Dejan Bodiroga( imagine if dejan bodiroga exist inn2021)

He might grow up some more height wise, those are his words , he really had the fast growth spur from the last summer to this year, he had grown up , about 7,8 inches in that time interval . He need's to get physically stronger , but he wont have the problem like Pokusevski is having , his frame is filling nicely, naturally . The important thing with him, he will get plenty of minutes with Mega team next season and the playing freedom, both him and his teammate Djurisic, who was unfortunately disciplined during the championships, he didn't play a single elimination game , so Serbia was shorthanded at the guard position , Todorovic got hurt too, with those two Serbia would have beaten France most likely in the semi finals.

Time for a bump. Dude has gone from a top 5 in the draft to being 20th at best on most mocks. Slow foot speed and poor defense. Is his value bouyed by the fact that his name is damn close to the 2 time MVP? Where would he be ranked if his name was Brian Scalabrone?

nbadraft.net deleted this season's stats for some reason. Those stats were majorly down from the prior season. Was there an injury?

bucknut · Post #59 » by **bucknut** » Wed Jun 22, 2022 7:24 am

I really don't know about this dudes stats - but he is the prettiest looking prospect I've scouted on film this year. 6 foot 10 and looks more guard like then even a guy like durant in his moves - I'm talking Jason Tatum is a good comp for this guy.....and his moves at 6 foot 10

To me he can create space any time he wants. That's a skill most of this prospects won't be able to have in the nba and will be regulated to roles.

Sounds like his 3 point percentage is not efficient. I hear rumors of foot speed being slow but he looks hella good on offense. His handles are the best handles i've ever seen on a 4

BlazersBroncos · Post #60 » by **BlazersBroncos** » Wed Jun 22, 2022 1:13 pm

Defense is the issue w/ Jovic - his only chance is at PF IMO. But his offensive skills have been slept on after a poor statistical season.

I think he screams SA and ends up pretty good.
