You might remember Milos Teodosic from this pass in Team USA’s win over Serbia:
Teodosic has long resisted the NBA.
David Pick:
Teodosic’s stance could change next summer, when his contract with CSKA Moscow ends.
Asked last week by ESPN if he still has NBA aspirations, Teodosic was non-committal, saying “that’s not up to me” and, when pressed, adding that it was his goal “a long time ago.”
But there is a belief in league circles that Teodosic will indeed explore his NBA options next summer.
Teodosic is an offensive dynamo. He’s a strong passer and shoots effectively from beyond the arc. He can be a bit turnover prone, but a team with a stale second unit could use him to create a spark.
He’s also a defensive minus, though. That probably won’t get better as he crosses 30 before becoming a free agent. His team must find a way to hide him on that end.
All told, Teodosic could play in the NBA – if he wants.
