According to NBA reporter Brett Siegel, Serbia's new backcourt star, Nikola Topic, one of the candidates who signed the first prize in this year's NBA draft conference, suffered a non-contact knee injury on behalf of Red Star Belgrade in the first round of the Adriatic League final against AdmiralBet on Monday.It is worth noting that Topic suffered the same injury at the same position in January this year, which also led to the fact that the focus of this year's NBA draft conference was forced to miss the game for nearly four months, until this month he completed his comeback.
Topic was born in August 2005 and is now 18 years old. He is 196cm tall and 91kg in weight. He is a tall player with excellent skills.Topic has a very excellent breakthrough ability on the offensive end. His starting speed seems quite good, and he also has a very stable finishing ability after completing the breakthrough. He can finish with his left and right hands. He is not afraid of confrontation under the opponent's basket, and he can find enough space for himself to shoot.In addition, Topic also has a certain ability of medium range projection.As a number one player, Topic also has good passing ability and overall view, and he can also find teammates in vacant positions.Topic's defensive prediction ability at the defensive end is also good, he can complete some steals, and his rebounding protection ability is also a relatively outstanding level among players in the same position.However, people may be slightly worried about his athletic ability, and his stability in outside shooting is still poor.
In this season's European games, Topic has made 22 appearances on behalf of Red Star Belgrade and KK Mega in various competitions, with an average playing time of 28.8 minutes. The average score is 15.1 points, 3.4 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 1 steals 0.1 blocks, and 2.4 mistakes. The shooting percentage is 30.6%, and the free throw percentage is 87.8%.Topic's performance this season is absolutely impressive, which can be said to be far beyond everyone's expectations. His offensive efficiency is quite good, and his scoring ability and organizational ability are excellent.Of course, there are also some problems with him. There are still some problems in his defensive performance. He seems to lack sufficient defensive experience, and he also has obvious room for improvement in three-point shooting rate and turnover.
Due to a series of excellent performances this season, Topic is considered as one of the candidates for the first prize signing, and he is also the key target of many teams.However, this injury may also cast a shadow on his draft prospects.Topic's personal ability is really outstanding, but two consecutive knee injuries will also make everyone worried about his physical condition.It is also a question mark whether it is worthwhile to select such a patient number with a high ranking lottery ticket.However, for the San Antonio Spurs, a team in urgent need of point guards, this may also be good news. They may not face such fierce competition?
