2011 adidas Eurocamp: Day Three and Final Recap June 14, 2011 Speaking of guards, we have not done Nemanja Nedovic justice in our daily recaps. The guy put together a very solid three-day performance. He had people talking and talking positive, and that is more than 90-odd-percent of the campers here could say.
Against the Croatians in the evening game, Nedovic ran the team exceptionally. The final score was 103-74. It was the first time a team in the camp scored over 100 points, or anywhere close. Satoransky and Neto each had more assists, but Nedovic was a calming influence on the team. He played very confidently and picked his spots very well driving when the lane opened up and moving the ball if not. He finished with 9 points and 4 assists, but looked in total control of the game at all times.
Nedovic is one of the most intriguing NBA prospects at this camp from our perspective, as he combines stereotypical European fundamentals with excellent size, a well developed frame and outstanding athleticism. He's yet to turn 20, but put together a very strong season for Red Star in the Adriatic league (11 points, 2.5 assists per game in 22 minutes), and then proceeded to absolutely explode in the Serbian league (16.4 points, 4 assists per game in 21 minutes).
Unlike most European guards, he projects as being able to defend his position at the NBA level, as he stands 6-4 with a great build and quick feet. He's somewhat stuck between the point guard and shooting guard positions at the moment, and surely needs to improve the consistency of his outside shot, but he's surely one of the most intriguing guards on the international landscape.
We caught up with Nedovic at the camp and asked him about his progression as a player over the last year…
[Read Full Article] European Roundup: Reliable Radosevic November 26, 2010 Coming off a solid showing at the U20 European Championships, Serbian guard Nemanja Nedovic has been one of the most productive young players in the Adriatic League this season. Though he hasn't been able to lead Crvena Zvezda (1-7) to many victories, Nedovic has figured prominently into his team's offensive attack after playing a bit part for them last season.
Standing 6'3, with a solid frame, Nedovic is a very good athlete, especially for the European game. Reminiscent of Goran Dragic in some ways, Nedovic has the explosiveness to play above the rim with space and the quickness to get to the basket off the dribble. Spending the majority of his time running the pick and roll or going one-on-one from the top of the key, the Belgrade native does a fine job using screens and hesitation moves to create lanes to get to the basket. Highly aggressive when he has a head of steam, Nedovic is at his best creating contact at the rim. Though he is a bit out of control at times, he is able to attack with either hand, shoots a solid 55% in finishing situations, gets to the line at a very good rate, and makes some excellent passes threading the ball to cutters through traffic.
Away from the rim, Nedovic isn't nearly as effective as a scorer or as a passer at this point in his career. He can create his own shot from the perimeter, but he has shot just 25% from three point range this season and needs to refine his mechanics when pulling up off the dribble. He looks a bit stuck between positions as well, forcing some difficult shots from the outside and looking to create his own offense rather than making the easy pass or using his quickness to drive and dish. His ability to develop as a shooter and point guard will be key to his NBA potential.
Defensively, Nedovic shows solid lateral quickness and very pesky hands, but may struggle to keep up with the faster floor generals in the NBA, at least initially. His effort level wavers at times and he makes some mistakes, but he's capable of using his athleticism to pressure the ball in the Adriatic League.
Just 19 years old, Nedovic still has plenty of time to improve his offensive arsenal and develop his intensity defensively. Averaging in double figures in his first real taste of Adriatic League basketball, Nedovic could develop into a high-level producer on the European level in time, but could garner quite a bit of attention on the NBA front if he improves his perimeter tools and becomes a more fundamentally sound floor general. Regardless, he took a big step forward this summer, and deserves mention here for how well he's played in starter's minutes. [Read Full Article]
Euroleague Final Four: Nike International Junior Tournament May 11, 2008 Nemanja Nedovic (6-3, 1991, Red Star) won’t turn 17 for another month or so, but he has some tools that make him worthy of keeping on the radar for now. He can put the ball in the net getting to the rim or from long range, and looked pretty pesky getting in the passing lanes as well. He’s not a bad athlete either. [Read Full Article]
