Nikola Dragovic: Serbian Sniper of Westwood?

by bluestreet on Jul 22, 2006 9:43 AM PDT Comment 9 comments

Multiple sources are confirming the possibility of Drago being the newest Bruin. But nothing official yet. If Howland pulls this off, a class of Keefe, Westbrook, and Dragovic may turn out be a top-10 class after it's all said and done. Howland continuing to do his magic in Westwood. A coach who truly deserves his raise. GO BRUINS. - N

If I were you guys, I'd get to know this kid:

Nikola Dragovic
Birthdate: 12/20/87
NBA Position: Small Forward
Ht: 6-8
Wt: 214
Int Team: Avada Ada Belgrade
Hometown: Podgorica, Serbia 2006
Stats

NBA Comparison: Peja Stojakovic

Strengths: Good basketball understanding ... Dragovic has long arms (6-11), and loves to dunk over guys. He's got a high skill level with excellent shooting ability and range. Shows a level of cockiness that some (especially European) players are missing ... The makings are there for him to turn into a big time prospect.

Weaknesses: Consistency, he still can get down on himself and have off games when things aren't going well ... Can get stronger physically ... Must gain experience at a higher level ...

Notes: One of the most interesting prospects at the 2005 Reebok Eurocamp ca

A Serbian assasin is perhaps about to make an entrance to Westwood.

Coach Howland snuck Luc into Westwood under everyone's radar. He might be on the verge of doing something special again.

Go Bruins!!!!

Dragovic qualified?

If so, it sounds like the guy has the tools to be the next Luc. At this point, I'm willing to trust in whomever Howland wants to bring into his system, and if he wants Dragovic and Spica, then let us hope that they both qualified (although I've heard rumors that Spica did not clear).

It looks like it's for real

Tracy Pierson posted on BRO boards this morning that his sources have said that Dragovic will be a Bruin.

Yes

Tracy has super sources (which alone makes it worth to subscribe to BRO).

Also heard from couple of friends of mine that this may be happening after all.

Great news for UCLA basketball.

Great get

Spica may be heading to Central Michigan with Ernie Zeigler.

I like it how this class is under the radar and loaded to the brim with talent and potential. Vastly underrated by many.

Serbian Assassins...

Don't usually work out well for the rest of the world. Gavrilo Princip, anyone?

How a World War I joke hadn't been dropped, I have no idea. Anyway this is great. This class is very quietly becoming a well rounded, if not "sexy" in the eyes of many. Howland's doing, as ususal, a great job.

Go Bruins...F@#$% SC... UCLA Fight Fight Fight!
