Nikola Topic Falls To Thunder At No. 12
5 months agoThe Oklahoma City Thunder grabbed guard Nikola Topic (knee) at No. 12 overall after reports of the young Euro League star potentially going early in the lottery. The young Serbian made his Euro League debut at the age of just 16 and was the youngest player ever to score a point for Crvena Zvezda. One of the reasons he fell in the draft is that he tore his ACL after returning from the Adriatic League, but he's expected to make a full recovery in time for the NBA Summer League. Between the two European teams, Topic averaged 15.9 points, 5.9 assists, and 3.5 rebounds per game across 20 contests. He also doesn't even turn 19 years old until August.
