NEW YORK -- Miami Heat rookie Nikola Jovic is already a highly accomplished 19-year-old.
Jovic was the 27th pick in June's NBA draft, made his NBA preseason debut Tuesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves and impressed in Thursday night's preseason matchup against the Brooklyn Nets with his best showing yet: 10 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals in 16 minutes in a 109-80 Heat victory.
There is one task that remains on Jovic's to-do list: Graduating high school.
"He's extremely unique," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said after Miami's win.
