Oklahoma Thunder is proving once again that they have a bright future, and it’s all thanks to young Serbian point guard Nikola Topić, who recorded an astonishing 10 assists in the game against the Indiana Pacers, setting a new team record in the NBA Summer League! Yes, you read that right — ten assists! And that’s not all. Although he wasn’t as scoring-focused as in the previous game against Brooklyn, where he dropped 18 points, Topić showed he’s a true playmaker, reminding everyone of his famous namesake, Nikola Jokić.
In just 26 minutes on the court, the young star scored seven points, took 11 three-point attempts, grabbed one rebound, and even stole the ball twice. All this after sitting out for over a year due to a serious knee injury! Is this just the start of his NBA career, or can he already be considered a serious option for the reigning NBA champions? The answer seems clear — Nikola Topić is ready to shine!
This talent was picked 12th in the NBA draft, which only confirms how much faith there is in his potential. Despite the injury that could have slowed him down, he’s come back stronger than ever. Oklahoma Thunder didn’t just get a player; they got a leader on the court who knows how to set up his teammates and elevate the team.
If you thought the NBA Summer League was boring, think again! Nikola Topić is proof that future stars are born here, and he’s definitely one of them. With performances like this, it’s no surprise that there’s already talk about his significant role in the team for the upcoming season.
Will Nikola Topić keep this pace and become the next NBA sensation? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure — Oklahoma Thunder has a real ace up their sleeve. What do you think about this young Serbian wonder? Is he the next Nikola Jokić, or will he surprise us in a different way?
