There may be a possibility where
#NikolaTopic, a player who was previously slated to fall in the top-5 of the upcoming NBA Draft, could fall all the way to No. 18… 👀
Topić, 18, averaged 14.5 PTS and 5.5 AST per game for
#RedStar in Serbia this past year. He boasts splits of 49.8/30.6/87.8, but fell on almost all draft boards after partially tearing his ACL.
Funny enough, his father Milenko works for the Magic as a scout.
After Jeff Weltman’s press conference yesterday, we can safely say that the Magic are still looking to draft the best player available rather than the best overall fit. While Orlando is still developing
#AnthonyBlack and
#ColeAnthony, Topić would likely miss a chunk of his rookie season recovering from injury.
Thoughts? ⤵️
