Newman’s 2014 NBA Draft Lottery Big Board 1.0

Number 11

Dario Saric – Foreign

Dario Saric was expected to enter the NBA draft last season as an 18-year-old but decided he wanted to spend another season over seas.  He was a projected lottery pick in last years draft but risked all that to put another season under his belt and develop his game a little bit more.  So far this season it hasn’t hurt his draft stock all that much as he’s putting together an impressive season with Croatia.  He is averaging 14.6 points, 8.3 rebounds and 2.6 assists this year and is doing enough to still impress scouts with his overall performance.  I still expect him to go in the lottery but it’s hard to say much more about this guy as he doesn’t play in the states for us to watch on a consistent basis.
