NBA rumors: Thunder could sign Vasilije Micic

After playing overseas for years, Vasillije Micic is looking to come over to the NBA. His draft rights are owned by the Oklahoma City Thunder. As reported by Eurohoops, Micic could end up coming over to the States if he is able to reach an agreement with Thunder GM Sam Presti.

According to HoopsHype, he has hired Wasserman Media Group as his representation going forward. Micic who plays for, Anadolu Effs, has wanted to go back for one more season. The team is located in Istanbul, Turkey, and holds Micic rights for one more year due to a previous contract.

If the Thunder are able to bring him on the roster, where he could end up being a solid backup point guard for the team. The Thunder currently do not have a player on this roster who can actively move the ball around the court. OKC could use a guy who could distribute the ball when Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is taking a rest on the bench.

If the Thunder are able to draft a backup power forward in this year’s draft, while getting Micic to come over this offseason this team could be well back on their way to making the playoffs. They could even end up as a top-six seed and avoid the play-in altogether.

Micic was the EuroLeague MVP last season and averaged 16.0 points, 5.4 assists and 3.2 rebounds, shooting 39.2 percent from beyond the arc in all competitions.
