No. 54: Nemanja Dangubic, SG, Serbia Draft-and-stash, anyone? This is the San Antonio speciality, as theyve consistently acquired international talents who suddenly show up and contribute down the road, long after the general public has forgotten about them. Thats surely the plan with Nemanja Dangubic, a Serbian shooting guard whose primary asset is his smooth athleticism and size (68). The pick originally belonged to the Philadelphia 76ers, but as Dangubics agent tweeted, hell be joining the Spurs instead. Drafted by: Philadelphia 76ers, No. 54 overall (traded to Spurs) Country: Serbia Height/Weight: 68, 193 lbs Age: 21 Projected NBA Position: Shooting Guard Twitter Handle: @DangubicNemanja Nemanja Dangubic wasnt one of the higher-ranked international prospects entering the 2014 NBA draft, but the Philadelphia 76ers liked his two-way potential and grabbed him with their seventh pick of the night. The San Antonio Spurs acquired him via trade shortly thereafter. The 68 Serbian, who plays for Serbian club Mega Vizura, competes hard from end-to-end and has a great feel for the game as well as a knack for scoring away from the ball. His NBA appeal is based on his future as an off-guard role player, one who could grow as a shooter. Dangubic has enough size and mobility to spend time at either wing position and is a long-term prospect even though hes already 21.
