who is headed to [Music] OKC with the 12th pick in the 2024 NBA draft the Oklahoma City Thunder select Nicola topic from Belgrade Serbia and Serbia’s Savina Zeda Nicola toic he made his Euroleague debut at just 16 years old our Jonathan gavone as he says thank you so much and shares this moment with his family Compares him to a lamelo ball a Tyrese halberton he has a partially torn ACL he suffered the injury in January he missed four months then he returned in late April played three games and reinjured the same knee but for him after going through all of that you can imagine just what this moment means as he greets his future teammate on Oklahoma City just so special I mean Nia topic is a player that could run a master class when it comes to executing the pick and roll he’s patient with the ball in his hands he’ll get Defenders on his back he can change speeds he’s not super quick but the way he changes speeds he’s able to manipulate Defenders so well yeah he’s the best passer in the draft and he gains separation not through being explosive as a point guard but doing it with his skill level

Is this guy any good?
Presti I don't know if I could trust you anymore
I really love this pick. Topic is basically Josh Giddey but a better shooter and defender. He was projected top 5 before his injury. Ik people will be upset because it’s not a center, but they gotta remember the draft isn’t the end of the offseason. Excited to watch Topic play!
Lets go
Replaced giddey, with another giddey 😂 except this one is busted. Add him to this list of future prospects
LETS GOOOOO
I like the value but just don’t see the path to many minutes for him next season
A project, when we're ready to win now? More like 2027 trade bait …smh. Devin Carter was the dude the Thunder shoulda picked imo.
I don't mean any offense to Topic, I'm sure he's a great player. But OKC is in a spot where we need someone is ready to compete for a championship NOW.. Not in a year or even 2 from now. Especially if it's another PG. I hope that I am wrong & If I am, I will eat my words. But Knecht or Filipowski felt like the right decision here.
pokugiddey 2.0 congratulations
I really don't understand why are we picking ppl for the future when we have a win now team 🙄and we have future pick for the future 🤌🏾🗣️Draft a Big man to help rebound 😒💯
another 6-4 guard. great.
prest wtf are you doing?
Sam Presti thank you for breaking our hearts today😅
I don’t give a sh*t how we get a Center but I wanted Cody Williams like a Crack Fein
Welcome to thunder nation
The people are comparing Giddey with Topic, and the similar thing is that they both are white
topic thunder

He will leave OKC in less than a year
presti could do a TED talk on winning trades, but when it comes to drafting, he is mediocre at best
