Jokic has agreed to terms on a four-year, $5.5 million contract with the Nuggets, ESPN reports. |
Jokic was selected 41st overall in the 2014 draft, but remained in Europe with Mega Vizura last season. However, coming off impressive averages of 16.5 points, 9.7 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.0 block in Adriatic & Serbian League play, the 20-year-old is now ready to try his hand at the NBA level. As his numbers suggest, the 6-10 forward is a highly versatile player whose progress heading into the upcoming campaign could make him a sleeper in deeper fantasy leagues. |
