    Kind of a shame that Yugoslavia dissolved into a horrific bloodbath in the '90s (this is known as understatement) because they'd have the second-best basketball team on the planet instead of 3 or 4 really good ones. Suddenly there's a shit ton of guys with names ending in -ic playing really well. (In fact, I think Dragan Bender has been a disappointment for exactly that reason.)
    Nikola Jokic
    Nikola Vucevic
    Dario Saric (soon to be ROY)
    Our own Jusuf Nurkic
    Goran Dragic...
    We're just lacking at the swing positions. This will be fixed soon when Luka Doncic comes over. Also Milos Teodosic. Am I forgetting anyone?

    Perhaps Nikola Mirotic, and Bodgan and Bojan Bogdanovic.

    And of course, how could you, of all people, forget Boban Marjanovic?

    Also, he's not an -ic, but Ivica Zubac is a Croatian as well.

    Forgot Mirotic. Increasingly easy to do these days.

    ARGH! FORGIVE ME OH GREAT ONE!

    Yes, there's also Bjelica (Serbia) and the confusingly atypical Mario Hezonja.

    They could easily start an all-center team. Have Jokic be the PG.
