Serbian playmaker Nikola Topic would address the San Antonio Spurs' need for increased size at the point guard position
The Spurs enter the June 26 NBA draft armed with a pair of top 10 picks for the first time in team history, holding the No. 4 and No. 8 selections. Had it not been for last year, when the Spurs famously nabbed Victor Wembanyama first overall, either of those picks would have marked the club’s highest draft slots since 1997.
The most pressing – and yet least discouraging long-term – is his injury history. Topic suffered a right knee injury in January, playing in a game against Partizan Belgrade. In a moment of coincidental flashback, he tweaked the same knee in the ABA League Finals against Partizan Belgrade earlier this month. The diagnosis was a knee sprain, from which Topic should make a full recovery.
