This isn't very high-level basketball, so I am not sure how much of this translates, but NK looked a lot better than in the previous game.
He scored 27 points in 22 minutes on 64% / 50% shooting. He scored in a variety of ways including jump shots and nice drives to the hoops.
He also had 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and a block.
He has a good handle. After a defensive rebound, he likes to bring the ball up the floor, and with his long strides, he can move it up quickly.
In the 4 games of the tournament, he is averaging 20 points on 50% / 39% / 73% shooting.
Next up is Lithuania, who should be a much better test for the Serbs. Lithuania is undefeated in the tournament.
If you watch this game, pay a little attention to New Zealand's Jayden Cecil, who is averaging 29 points per game. He is a 4-star player according to 247.
I am not an expert at this stuff, but his release on his shooting motion looks a little odd to me. If he fixed that, it might improve his accuracy.
