Nikola Topic at the NBA Draft Combine in Treviso:
"Wherever team I go it will be my pleasure. My approach will be the same. Whether it's Atlanta, San Antonio, Detroit, I just want to be the best I can be and make everyone around me better.
I'm not 100% healed. I haven't started running or practicing with the basketball. I'm focusing on rehab, on my body and knee."

Fuck no
Pass
Notice he didn’t mention the Rockets? Lol
I still want him, provided the knee isn’t determined to be something that will realistically be a career-long concern.
No thanks
Interesting he listed Atlanta, who has two starting-level PGs but not #2 pick Washington that has Jordan Poole.
As a Wizards fan, I’m in shambles lol
want
Lol why’d he say fuck Washington and Charlotte for
I can see us taking the gamble on topic and rehabbing the shit out of him while we “tank” one more time for 2025
Have his official measurements been taken yet?
He’s interesting, the defense, role scalability and sample size scare the shit out of me though.
If he is at 8, then sure. I would rather take Castle or Risacher at 4
“I’m not 100% healed. I haven’t started running or practicing with the basketball. I’m focusing on rehab, on my body and knee.”
Are we all just gonna ignore this pretty alarming piece of news about his injury status? Like bro, really. Who the fuck cares where he wants to go, dude hasn’t even started running.
He gives me Luka Samanic vibes. A complete bust. I’d rather we take Stephon Castle or Rob Dillingham at # 8. I’m more concerned about getting a solid SF at # 4 like Zaccharie Risacher, Ron Holland or Dalton Knecht.
Man said Atlanta 😂
Anyone else but Topić!
Please not this guy.
Why’s everyone hung up about which cities he said? It obviously looks like he was just listing a couple teams in the lottery to make a point.
He’s not gonna say “Whether it’s Atlanta, San Antonio, Detroit, Houston, Charlotte, Washington, Portland, Utah, Chicago…
As I recall he’s been seeing some doctor in Croatia for an ill defined MCL and meniscus problem. Maybe this doctor is amazing, idk, but Topic needs to see an American doctor and get a clear diagnosis and care plan. I mean the guys been sidelined already since what, January?
Mf looks like “Have You Seen This Man”
