According to Jonathan Givony, an ESPN talent expert, the Serbian backcourt rising star Nikola Topic, who had suffered non-contact injury to his left knee in the first round of the Adriatic League final and left early, was confirmed to be OK after inspection.Topic may miss all the remaining games of the Adriatic League Final, but he should attend the NBA Global Training Camp on June 6, when he will also receive medical and physical tests from the NBA.In January this year, Topic was forced to be absent for 4 months due to a similar injury, which also made everyone worried about his injury.However, it seems that the situation is not as terrible as everyone imagined, and Topic can still recover to 100% health before the draft conference.
The news that Topic's injury is not serious will also directly affect the potential trend of this year's NBA draft conference and the draft market of all high ranking players.Topic is a hot candidate in the previous rankings, including the Washington Wizards who hold the top spot, the Houston Rockets who hold the exploratory visa, and the San Antonio Spurs who hold the No. 4 visa.As the best number one player in this year's NBA draft conference, his draft market will never be worse.In this case, the San Antonio Spurs may be the most anxious.It seems that the Wizards and Rockets in front of them may intercept Hu Topic, while the Spurs are relatively in the highest demand for Topic. Once they miss Topic, they will have no way to find a more suitable number one core player in this year's draft conference.
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.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 number of appearances is 15.1 points, 3.4 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 1 steals, 0.1 blocks, and 2.4 mistakes. The shooting percentage is 49.8%, the three-point shooting percentage is 30.6%, and the free throw percentage is 87.8%.As a young player, Topic was able to produce such dazzling data, which really exceeded everyone's expectations. He showed unique talents. He even had some leadership ability and leadership temperament, which really exceeded everyone's imagination.
From the perspective of characteristics, 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 both 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. He can also find teammates in vacant positions.Topic still has some room for improvement in three-point shooting rate and control errors. He can also do better in defense, but considering his age, he has done quite well.If the Spurs really like Topic, maybe they should seriously consider the possibility of an upward trade?
