The case for Nikola Topic falling outside the lottery

When I compiled my first big board of the draft cycle earlier this calendar year, I had Topic ranked No. 5. In my final big board, I have Topic ranked No. 17 — nine spots lower than his consensus ranking of No. 8. There are two main factors on why he dropped so far for me, and the obvious one is his health. There's a chance Topic could miss time because of his ACL injury, and that's concerning.

The other and more reasonable point is other point guards in this class are better. I have Rob Dillingham ranked No. 1 overall on my personal board. Other point guards I ranked ahead of Topic are Stephon Castle (5), Isaiah Collier (10), Jared McCain (11) and Devin Carter (12). Although Topic plays the position in control, his lack of explosiveness and length are more reasons why he's lower on my radar. -- Cameron Salerno

I'd like to grab him with pick #14.

We're the perfect team to take a flyer on a guy like this next season.

If we are taking flyers on guys, I’m taking flyers on SFs and PFs.

if all we drafted for the next ~3 years was SFs and PFs, I’d be happy.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I predict we take him or Jared McCain at #14 (and Salaun at #7).

Nikola Topić, the 6-foot-7 Serbian point guard, has also been a name rival executives posit is under consideration for the Spurs. Topić said Wednesday that he visited San Antonio, Utah, Portland, Memphis and Houston while he nurses a partially torn ACL.
