Nikola Topic is quickly showed himself to be one of the classes most talented playmakers as the lead man for Mega Mis. He went back to Red Star halfway through the year and got some limited Euroleague experience but multiple knee injuries and what's now known as a partially torn ACL give pause. However, he's still a likely top 10 talent and someone whose upside is worth betting on.

  • I believe this ACL tear wont affect his draft stocks. This kid has the smoothest move and passing among all PGs in this draft considering his age. Lots of years to improve 3pt and midrange shooting. Hope the Spurs still picks him.
  • @strapped7404
    If he falls to pick 15 miami heat, please draft him. Then, at pick 43 draft, Nikola djurisic. Nikola jovic, Nikola djurisic, and nikola topic šŸ˜®ā€šŸ’Ø

    Looks like a 6ā€™6 Dragic to meā€¦. Not saying he will be, but If a team knew thatā€™s for sure thatā€™s what he would turn intoā€¦. Heā€™d be the number one pick. Honestly Sarr could end up being a beast, but he could also just be a Mitchell Robinson clone. And who the hell knows what Reed Shepherd will be. Heā€™s much more athletic than Jimmer, but could he just end up being another TJ McConnell? Can he be a classic type stud point guard like Stockton or Nash? Honestly I think his ceiling is Tony Parkerā€¦. I see a lot of Tony in his game , which is awesome. But heā€™s definitely a low floor, high ceiling guy lol. Who the hell knows lol

    I heared you will be on Locked on Blazers. Can't wait!
  • @lelandpage1501
    He's late lottery/mid first for me with the injuries and concerns about whether the driving ability translates at the next level
  • @j-us-t_be-in-g
    I can see why he's injuring himself. The way he playing hurts to watch...him contorting his body in weird ways...forcing himself to turn at odd angles. Does he has a jumper?! If I'm NBA playing against him...I'm shutting the lanes down and forcing him to shot jumpers until he can prove that he can beat me other than penetrating to the basket. These defenses are overreacting to his drive when he's not proving them that he can shoot.
  • @d-johns22
    He has great passing vision and his ability to get to the basket should translate. I am surprised he isn't a good defender, but with his size and effort he shouldn't be a liability. I hope my Jazz get him at 10 and give him time to get healthy
  • Another one? You are the king. Thatā€™s really too bad for him about the torn ACL. The difference in pay from 1st to 10th pick is huge over the course of the contract. I hope he gets back to šŸ’Æ I wonder if him falling could hurt some teams, the more guards in the top 10 only favors Portland in finding a great forward prospect. On that tip, I think this would be a pick that would break Portland fansā€™ spirits, an injured guard, theyā€™ll lose it. I kind of hope it happens just to observe the drama... But also, I think heā€™ll be a really good player.
  • @Convisis
    This guy is a genuinely talented player. His ability to read the defence on the fly and aggressively drive and finish or make a simple or more advanced pass will hold him in good stead. Iā€™m not sure if heā€™s an NBA star but I could imagine him being a Euroleague star for many years. If he had Reed Shepherdā€™s shot heā€™d be number one hands down.
  • @BlindSwami_
    He's easily the best talent in the draft for me. The injury really sucks and it's his only big question mark for me
  • @garyleroy91
    He would have been a top 4 pick, now the injury occur, he'll be picked around 10-15 range
  • @KD_SWAGGER
    Nikola Topic has some talent on offense. All depends on where he goes.
  • @ericperales4505
    6'6 tony parker with a slice of manu 2.0 welcome to spurs šŸ˜…
  • @jrueholiday9550
    If it weren't for the injury I would've had him top 2, probably one with Sarr. Do not know what to do with him now
  • @THEOTOCLAN
    If he gets better at the floater shot, he can be dangerous at that height. It wouldn't hurt to get that 3pt average to atleast 34%. Hopefully the spurs will take him and pair him with wemby
  • @ryankwoods
    theyā€™re going to let him fall to OKC at 12 šŸ¤Œ
