Future of Serbian NT

There is a very nice feedback from OKC about Topic's rehab and work ethic. Daignault had a lot of praise for Topic, his mentality and was impressed with his calmness and maturity. Topic is basically cleared for basketball activities, his rehab is almost done and he used this time to work a lot behind the scene. His first games will be in the summer league. If health serves him well, he is going to be a very good player. Future leader of Serbian NT quite possibly. Topic/Jokic combo in 2027/2028 could be something really special. Long ways to go though, but very attractive to think about it.

Srzentic has been dominating in KLS lately, another big time talent on the perimeter.​
 
Very curious to see Topic on the NBA court. It seems like Topic and KJ will start their NBA career at the same time. I have those as 2 best PGs since Doncic. Very interesting spectacle. Off course, Saraf and Traore shouldn't be overlooked much as well. Hugo should end up in the NBA as well, so there will be very strong boost of Euro guards in the NBA soon.
 
Kostic finishes season in KLS with 27/4/8 and 6/9 from 3. He has been playing as a point guard in the second half of the season and his improvement as ballhandler is obvious. Very nice developmental season for Kostic. Now he will probably get sođe minites with Zvezda in ABA league and in KLS playoffs.
 
I don't know in what role Mihailo Petrovic can be the future of our NT but he has been impressive in ABA league this season, especially in the second half of the season when it was clear that he is the best playmaking guard in Mega.

28/13 last game and over 7 asissts per game. Size and physical atributes are problematic for the next level but his vision, playmaking and slashing skills are for real. I would love to see him working out with NT this summer under Pesic.
 
I'm wondering what's next for Kostic with all this money coming from NCAA. Zvezda wants to make s roster spot for him, Sfairopoulos likes him, but college basketball is very attractive now with huge money on the table.

This Illinois team will feature 4 players from Balkan next season - Petrovic, Ivisic bros and Mirkovic. I guess Petrovic is going to get serious money to play college ball.

the impression is that he may be more useful for the nt than vukcevic

Vukcevic has great skills on offense, he is a walking bucket, but he needs to get a lot stronger in contact basletball and improve his footwork on defense. If he can get that to some decent level, he will have a really good NBA career.

My bet is on Markovic long term, especially once he fills oit his body and gets stronger, that will get his game to another level. Very big room for realistic improvement.
 
Andrej Kostic might go to NCAA. Kansas recruiting him apparently.

This is new reality, NCAA will take all the talents with all this money that they can offer to these kids. Jelavic from Mega got a million dolar deal and he is far from being top talent. Kostic would probably play with Mega next season if he was Raznatovic's client but he is not and it's too tempting to refuse such opportunity to earn big money already and play in front of NBA scouts every game. We will see what happens here.

Interesting, Andrej Stojakovic transferred to Illinois. Will play with Petrovic and there will be 5 players from Balkan at Illinois. Worth following this group of Balkan talents.

Kostic showing off his scoring talent in ABA league. Such an effortless shotmaker, seems to have unlimited range and nice off the dribble shots.

Apprently, Zvezda wants 1.5 million from Kansas for Kostic's buyout. Also read that Kansas is willing to give Kostic huge money to come play for them.
