Nikolai Topić
The 12th pick in the 2024 NBA Draft - Oklahoma City Thunder
When talking about the current NBA "Nikolai" name players clustering, Topic said: "Nikolai is one of the most popular names in Serbia.
General manager Presti said Topeic suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee and will be reimbursed early next season. In fact, if it weren't for this big injury, Topeic would have been selected with the top 10 picks.
His tall stature, excellent ball handling skills, and keen basketball IQ make him comfortable on the court. He has shown great basketball talent, and his points and rebounds and assists per game statistics are impressive.
Not only is he well-balanced with his left and right hands, but he is also quite skilled in passing and controlling, which allows him to handle a variety of situations on the offensive end.
Considering his huge advantage in size, he also has the ability to switch players in multiple positions against the opposition, and he is highly malleable on the defensive end.
There is reason to believe that the young Serbian guard will shine on the NBA stage and become a good basketball player.
