Should the San Antonio Spurs try to draft Serbian point guard Nikola Topic in the 2024 NBA draft? Currently playing abroad in the EuroLeague’s KK Crvena zvezda, the 18-year-old floor general has some size at 6-foot-6, and can handle the rock in ways that has had him compared to Goran Dragic, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
Seen as going anywhere from the fringes of the top five to the late lottery, San Antonio could grab him safely with their No. 4 pick, and could roll the dice with solid odds at No. 8 if the team’s front office sees him as the team’s lead guard of the future.
His playmaking is another interesting wrinkle for the Spurs to consider, but needs work with his jumper and defense — not that rare for incoming guards and wings.
The host of the “Locked On Spurs” podcast, Jeff Garcia, sat down with “Sweep The League” host Rudy Campos to talk it over. Check it out above!
