People losing their minds over trading an Eastern European named Nikola that they learned about today and wondering why we wouldn’t need more shooting around Jimmy and Bam, especially if a guard gets moved. This fanbase is rough sometimes
This sub keep flip flopping so god damn much its annoying. They bitched about Mccain and Dursic cause of Maxey and Serbian vibes respectfully and its fucking annoying. The FO is smartly addressing holes via size, shooting, and ballhandling and they are still fucking whining like babies and its annoying and frankly embarrassing all around. How far this sub and fanbase has fallen.
Reeks of people pissed we didn’t keep Bol Bol (though we literally never had him) and dude fucking blows. Probably the same exact people complaining now tbh
Nobody knows anything about drafting and I’m sick of people thinking that the front office has no idea what they’re doing when they’re the same people that probably didn’t want Bam or Herro
Yall want Jimmy to win a ring, yet bitch that a guy whos Serbian and Jovic's teammate wasn;t drafted and is young and may not contribute right away. Yall need to grow up and stop whining and being scared over everything.
Unserious? Based on?
22/4/4 2 steals on 50/38/76 in ABA(a league that produces NBA talent) playoffs vs mostly grown men.
Who's got more potential to you. 20 yr old doing that or 23 yr old 13/4/4 on 51/42/75 in college.
Edit: Unserious based on?
Where are you getting those numbers? I checked basketball reference and it said Djurisic averaged 14/3/3 on 45/33/74
I don’t really care much about potential when it comes to second round picks because 90% of them don’t last in the league. Getting a Duncan or Max level player would be a win
Jovic wasn’t drafted for his production, he was drafted for his size and skills. He was still in high school at the time and was pretty awful to start his NBA career so a 20 year old outperforming a very raw Jovic doesn’t mean much
Basically you are just trying to ignore any info I give lmao Bro turned 20 in Feb.
And the skill of the league is the skill of the league.He played well in a grown mans league.
He played pretty well but his numbers weren’t nearly as impressive as you made them sound.
Second round is a complete crapshoot. I trust the FO when it comes to evaluating these types of low level prospects. Woj made it sound like he would be stashed in Europe so he’s clearly far away from having a meaningful impact in a NBA game
You said he averaged that in the ABA league. Not that his averages over 26 regular season games were much lower and that those were his numbers over 4 playoff games. Then you compared that 4 game sample to what Larsson averaged over 36 games.
Nikola may end up being the better player, it’s 50/50 imo but you intentionally left out very important context
Players such as who? The hit rate on second round picks is extremely low. Is there comparable second round pick who has become a starter in the last 5 years?
Players from that MEGA basketball team bro. 4/10 2nd rd picks have some sort of career in NBA. 1 of em a multiple time MVP.
And that's not counting Jovic and Goga into this as well. They also had Topic to begin the yr.
Who are those 4? I don’t follow Mega or any non NBA teams.
I’m not comparing 1st round picks because there’s a reason they go in round 1 and Durisic goes in the 40s in a weak draft
Jokic and Zubac are bigs and completely different players. Micic and Cancar are end of the bench guys.
Sure they have developed NBA players but so has Arizona
Can someone who watched him tell me what his downsides are? Reading through scouting reports it seems to me this player should be much higher than a mid 2nd-rounder, especially in a supposedly weak class
The only weakness the reports pointed out was getting into foul trouble quite often but thats kind of it
Didn’t watch him but he’s a senior player, they are usually seen as lower potential since they already have a polished skillset with not much more they can add to the tool bag.

I’ll put my head on the pike I was so sad we didn’t end up with Bol Bol, but Tbf we traded him for KZ who’s an even worse basketball player.
Nobody knows anything about drafting and I’m sick of people thinking that the front office has no idea what they’re doing when they’re the same people that probably didn’t want Bam or Herro
That Serbian was sneaky athletic tho lol
I mean, like... there are 2.5 SoFla franchises to trust on draft night. One plays basketball, the other hockey, and the other 1/2 plays football.
Yall want Jimmy to win a ring, yet bitch that a guy whos Serbian and Jovic's teammate wasn;t drafted and is young and may not contribute right away. Yall need to grow up and stop whining and being scared over everything.
His shot is fucking gorgeous
Since a lot of people hate the pick I’m assuming he’ll be great for us.
I see Christian Braun
I see that we shouldn’t have traded away nikola
We traded Jovic????? Edit: Nevermind I’m dumb.
We got shooters!
Shooter. Way less upside than Djurisic sigh
Djurisic seems a little…unserious and idk about his bball IQ it feels like he tunnel visions way too much

For example Jovic 11/4/3 on 42/35/75 same league
Jovic wasn’t drafted for his production, he was drafted for his size and skills. He was still in high school at the time and was pretty awful to start his NBA career so a 20 year old outperforming a very raw Jovic doesn’t mean much

Btw those were 100% his playoff numbers.

Playoffs And yes solid numbers there too. And sure. Hit rates on players in 2nd rd like Djurisic just much higher than random good college shooters.

Jokic/Zubac/Micic/Cancar And sure but theyve still produced and developed talent is my whole point.
Jokic and Zubac are bigs and completely different players. Micic and Cancar are end of the bench guys. Sure they have developed NBA players but so has Arizona
Djurisic gonna be special man, and honestly atleast go with a backup point guard in Shead or Newton
Proof?
He’ll just say “I’m right you’re wrong”
Well he's Serbian and the most athletic one in the NBA, he has alot of game.
“He’s gonna be special” “Why?” “Well he’s Serbian” C’mon man
Athleticism, defense, 2 main things really
Miami got high-end athleticism & defense with Ware and Johnson. Pelle is a good complementary pick for scoring depth, which we desperately need.
Yes I love Ware, Johnson hopefully gets a spot to. I wanna see Pelle in rotation too.

Is this a good pickup? 😭
Not really lol, we see Braun in him or Reaves so that's why we picked him. I don't like it tho, Djurisic was our guy man.
You didn’t even know who he was 15 minutes ago. Goddamn nephew
Talking out of his ass like he knows more than the FO
Dude cannot form an opinion on his own. Just goes with whatever the hell everyone else is saying and dies on the hill
It’s actually insane
Pelle = Luka
Duncan Robinson replacement
Facts!
why do they think we need another one of these guys
A shooter?!?!
Probably means we gonna trade one our shooters
I’d love one who doesn’t get paid 16+ mil a year
Fr we absolutely dont
Pat I will never forgive you for trading nikola
This needs to be talked about more
