During an interview with RTS<\/a>, the KK Mega Bemax player confirmed his intention to play in the NBA next season:<\/p>\n“My main goal is to be part of the best league in the world, the NBA. If I wanted to start a career in Europe, I would have chosen a Eurocup or Euroleague team. I think is very difficult to find in Europe an environment like that of\u00a0 KK Mega Bemax .. . The team is mainly composed of young talents, we play in only one competition and we work every day at a high level ”<\/p>\n
On the comparison with Nikola Jokic, also from Mega Bemax, and now among the best big men in the NBA.<\/p>\n
“He is certainly a role model for all young players in Serbia because he is doing things in the NBA that no one has done before him. I think he is still an atypical player, with abnormal talent. I understand the reason for the comparison, but I think it’s slightly unfair to me … ”<\/p>\n
