Nikola Milutinov: Drafted 26th Overall by Spurs
Milutinov was drafted by the Spurs with the 26th pick in the 2015 NBA Draft.
Analysis:
The Spurs are looking to make a splash in free agency this year, so they made this pick with the intention of stashing Milutinov, as he will likely remain overseas for the next few seasons. Regardless, when he comes to play for San Antonio, Tim Duncan will likely have retired and Milutinov will provide some necessary backcourt depth for the team. He was an efficient offensive player last season, posting 9.8 points on 57.3 percent shooting and 7.6 rebounds in 28 minutes per game in the Adriatic League.
