With the No. 2 overall pick the Washington Wizards select guard Nikola Topić from Crvena zvezda.
The Washington Wizards were awarded the No. 2 overall pick on Sunday afternoon in the NBA Draft Lottery, and with the pick could make a move that sets the franchise's rebuilding project ahead, or back, a step.
"Topić returned to play for Crvena zvezda recently following a knee injury that kept him out three months. He’s coming off the bench for a loaded team that features a number of EuroLeague stalwarts, and his games so far have been more in line with a mid-first-round pick as opposed to a top-three guy," writes Vecenie.
"Why is he placed this highly, then? Because in 13 Adriatic League games for Mega Basket before his transfer to Crvena zvezda, Topić averaged 18.6 points and 6.9 assists while shooting 52.4 percent from the field," he continued. "He’s a dynamic ball-screen distributor and consistently lives in the paint in the Adriatic League, which consists of teams from the six countries that once made up Yugoslavia.
