Nikola Topic End Of 2022/23 Season Scouting Report


Position: G

Height: 198cm

Born: 10 AUG 2005

Stats: Pts18.3  Reb3.8  Ast4.8  Stl1.3  To2.9  Min30.3  Fg%55.3          3fg%40.4  Ft%85.7

Offensive breakdown:

+Great in open floor situations where he uses his great speed to get to the basket or assist to the open teammate

+Smart off ball player in attack, knows how to position himself so he can be more open for a 3pt shot or to attack closeout and he is often trying to make the right cut to the basket

+Driving to the basket is his main priority when in attack. He uses simple moves and tempo changes to beat the defender and get to the basket where he can show off his soft touch at the rim

+In PnR situations he is usually looking to pass to the bigman or the 3rd guy cutting or standing at the 3pt line, but when the lane is open he is driving at the basket

+His shooting ability in catch and shoot situations is great and you can see is by looking at his 3fg%

+He shows great effort in offensive rebounding, he got 1.0Or Per Game

+His passing vision is very good for his age, he can really spot an open teammate

-Too many turnovers, majority of those are passing attempts from PnR actions. I think that this is the case because of his lack of experience and it will get better as he gets older

-He needs to improve his ability to create a shot off the dribble and ad midrange to his arsenal to be complete offensive player

 

Defensive breakdown:

+Great off ball defender, he really scans the court with his eyes. He is very rarely deconcentrated but it can happen

+Good help on D, knows when to help and when to stick to his player. He often steals the ball when helping

+Has very fast and active hands witch explains his number of steals

+Another reason for this many steals is that he is cutting passing lanes very well

-When icing PnR he needs to be more aggressive and to hold his hands up so he can disrupt more passes

-He gets beaten on 1v1 by fast players very easily because of his slow lateral movements and high defensive stance

 

In conclusion:

Very young player who don’t complicate too much, moves the ball well in offense, and is great off ball defender. If he can improve the things that I said he needs to improve and ad more things to his offensive bag he will be great Euroleague, even Nba player, and I know he can do it
