2024 Draft Profile - Nikola Topic

Kevin O'Connor - The Ringer - June 17th: "Sensational scorer in the paint with a deep bag of touch finishes at the rim using either hand from unusual angles. Slippery driver who uses subtle pace changes, head fakes, and clean footwork to get into the teeth of the defense."

NBA Draft Room - June 16th: "Topic has a partially torn ACL and it’s a bit concerning to see a prospect have two knee injuries within a few months. He’s no longer likely to be a top 5 pick and could fall to the late lottery."

Jonathan Givony - ESPN - June 7th: "The extent of Topic's recovery process will be determined by specialists in the U.S., but it will not be surprising if he will require a redshirt season -- similar to how Chet Holmgren, Joel Embiid, Michael Porter Jr. or Blake Griffin started their NBA careers."

Sam Vecenie - The Athletic - June 5th: "Topi? also scores proficiently at the rim, using inventive touch to finish high off the glass and around rim protectors. However, Topi? has suffered two recent sprained knee injuries, causing him to miss most of the 2024 calendar year to this point."

Colin Ward-Henninger - CBS Sports - June 4th: "He's an excellent pick-and-roll operator with great vision. Topic isn't a floor spacer, but if he can get up to league-average as a 3-point shooter, we could be talking about a future All-Star."

Zach Buckley - Bleacher Report - June 4th: "Although his game can be a bit stiff, he is nimble and crafty with his movements. If his jumper trends up, he'll be an offensive asset."

Jonathan Wasserman - Bleacher Report - May 30th: "Another knee injury could complicate evaluations and decisions on Nikola Topi?, who's going to miss the rest of the Adriatic League playoffs. However, there has been no indication of any serious damage."
