Nikola Jović against South Sudan: 25 on 100FG% and 5/5 from 3.



[Box Score](https://www.fiba.basketball/basketballworldcup/2023/game/3008/South-Sudan-Serbia#tab=boxscore)

A dominating performance by the Miami Heat sophomore to keep Serbia’s winning streak alive.

Will he be able to play like this in the NBA. He should be able to get a lot of chances with the Heat’s frontcourt depth being pretty thin, especially if Spo and Pat appreciate his performances in the World Cup.

Another great performance from today’s game: Point Bogdan with 23 points 9 assists and 3 steals.

    He never played this much in his career at this level. He is not shy and physically improved a lot.

  2. He’s been Serbia’s best player, only 20

    The shooting 4 next to bam we have been praying for

    Looks like an elite 3 and D player out there. The Heat got another steal

    We start them early in Serbia. They play with grownups as kids. In Miami they made him much stronger within a year.

    When was the last time the Heat drafted a truly terrible player? They seem to always get at least a contributor within his contract, at worse.

    Yeah, this guy was tanking his trade value at the G-League.

    South Sudan barely exists as a country. Wake me when he goes on a similar run against one of the G7.

    He learned to play as a guard and then grew a whole bunch. You can see it in his game. Back when we drafted him, Riley said one day his jersey might be hanging up in the rafters. He doesn’t say that about everyone.

    They can’t keep letting us get away with this
