Anyway, according to Serbian news outlets Topic will be out for 4-6 weeks. That sucks. I wonder if they'll sign another guard cause they're kind of screwed now.

When I watched that's the first guy that came to mind, 6'7 Jeremy Lin isn't a bad player I guess.Colbinii wrote:mattao313 wrote:His movement and dribbling reminds me of Jeremy Lin.

That isn't good.

was just coming in to say this as im starting to watch the guy
listed at 6-6 but he's functionally really 6-4 b/c of the long neck, shooting numbers don't look too great, on the surface don't see what separates him from say Josh Giddey but shorter...but i obviously need to watch more

I would agree with this... Seems like a guy that should go around 7-9. He can't really shoot and appears to be an average athlete at best.

For those that have watched him more than I have, what separates Topic from Juan Núñez?
From the videos/film that I have seen -> I am probably higher on Núñez as a prospect.

Remember Rocko Prkacin or however the hell you spell his name? How many years did we hear he was coming? Once in a while it turns out to be legit but most of the time it’s just euro propaganda.

It’s generally pretty simple - the ones (like Topic) who are able to put up good numbers in Europe while still young (Doncic, Sengun, Jokic) succeed in the NBA. The ones who struggle in Europe, struggle in the NBA.

I believe zizic was putting good numbers in ABA at 18 yo even his SL games were great

well he wasnt good in his first two euroleague games, so we should probably hold off on the #1 pick talk tbh
