今天在例行賽拿到西區第一的雷霆隊,在今天的選秀會上選擇塞爾維亞後衛Nikola Topic,不過這個選擇引發許多熱議,Nikola Topic在日前因為十字韌帶撕裂,導致他在未來的幾個月都沒有辦法出賽。
而且就算可以出賽,Nikola Topic的球風也和雷霆隊日前交易出去的Josh Giddey有些類似,都是以持球為主,傳球都有一定的判斷能力,但是Topic比起Giddey體型還要瘦小,防守未來可能會有點吃力。
在今天選秀完的記者會,記者們就訪問到雷霆總管Sam Presti,談到為何選進Topic,Presti說:「我們的預期是他不會為球隊在明年出賽。」
“Our expectation is that he probably won’t be playing for us next season,” Presti said of Nikola Topic, who’s rehabbing an ACL injury.

明年的Topic依然會隨隊雷霆,並持續在隊上復健,可能會依循Chet Holmgren的模式先休息第一個賽季,Presti也表示有看過Topić的膝蓋問題,確定沒有太大問題才決定選下Topić。
Sam Presti said the league put in rules where everyone has access to the player medicals, “we have seen all the imagining. Everything that we’ve seen - we are comfortable with.” In regards to Nikola Topić’s knee.
