Articles about Nikola Dragovic

Nikola Dragovic

Dragovic is fresh from UCLA's highly disappointing tournament-less season, and he was one of the disappointments. He is a big old boy, 6'9 and incredibly strong, yet all he wants to do with that frame is take jumpshots. And he's just not as good at shooting as he wants to be.

Dragovic averaged 12.0 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game last year, but if those numbers look great, they lie. This is a UCLA team on which Michael Roll led the team in both scoring and assists. It was not a good team, not a good team at all. Dragovic took a lot of shots on the basis that someone had to, and even then, he took a lot of bad ones. He shot 37% on the season and only 28% from three point range, rebounding terribly (those numbers came in 32 minutes per game) and not playing any defense. He also managed to get arrested twice in his UCLA career, including once for felonious assault (a charge which was later dropped).

On the plus side, Dragovic was once a member of the 2007 Serbian U-20 national team, which suggests at pedigree, but he underperformed at UCLA and was particularly bad this season. You can excuse this because of the team's struggles in general, or you can cite Dragovic as part of the reason why they struggled. Your call.
