NBA Draft Junkies International Prospects | Nikola Jović Scouting Report

Serbia is a country with a little under 7 million people, but in the past few years, Serbia has been a hotbed for producing NBA prospects. 2021 NBA MVP Nikola Jokic, Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic and last years media darling, Oklahoma City rookie Aleksej Pokusevski are all Serbian.

Next up is Nikola Jovic a skilled oversized wing that can do a little bit of everything on the basketball court with a game that fits the modern day NBA.

This may sound funny to some, but he has a little Jayson Tatum in his game.

Wow... Can't believe he fell to 27. I'll take it!

[louisjones]

Welcome to the Heat...we're bigger at the skill position

I can't wait to see him on the court. I know very well what kind of player he is. He destroyed my club, I watched Jovic in amazement when he played against BC Partizan, the former European champion. At the age of 18, he blew us away.
Cheers

Was hoping he'd be next :) It's a name I know, but not all that familiar with his game. Thanks for the breakdown keep 'em coming! Wanna see Ousmane Dieng next, I'm a big big fan of his.

If you know Serbia has only 6 millions people.Very big concentration of talents, plus those boys are totally unsupported from government .

[jessekennedy]

I was like wait another Nikola jokic???

[myusuf]

i totally agree wit that shot selection, his mindset was probably score every posession bcs he was the star of that team. But if he going to the NBA, he gonna be a problem with that catch and shoot or just midpost move to get the attention of the defender then he kicked out for open 3.

[thatoneguy]

Something about him just says Timberwolves 💪.... And they should !

[derionone]

U are pronouncing his name pretty well ... considering most Americans butcher our names

[Kenny-bjzq]

If the Spurs can't get into the top 3 this is the guy I want us to pick I don't think he slides past 7th

[collinschultz]

Truth Done manifested cocreated now nikola jovic drafted by the Dallas Mavericks

[jimmyjc]

Did this kid REALLY say Jokic would become the greatest passing C in NBA history? LMFAO.
Come on, man. Stop it. So many excellent passing bigs better than Jokic. Cut it out.

What do you think about Jovic In New York with Rokas

[jaejae]

Need bro on the Nets to produce during those KD-less minutes

[VanIyke]

Hornets 2nd first round pick if Agbaji is off the board. After taking Center Jalen Duren with their lottery pick..

This guy is young but plays like a vet. Less polishing to put in by Hornets coaching staff. Just give him a nutritionist to put on the pounds

[peopleschamp]

I would like to rockets to trade down and pick up this guy! would make interesting lineup with green sengun kpj and jovic

[knep]

I think he'll improve shooting if he widens his base, feet are real narrow. I like the Tatum comp, watched Tatum in high school, he was a lot of mid post fade aways.

[ibuttayotoast]

I stg the thunder better not draft this kid bruh
