Nemanja Bjelica continues to turn heads
The Wolves have an international sensation on their hands, and I’m not talking about Ricky Rubio for once.
Wolves’ 2010 second-round draft pick Nemanja Bjelica is making the world sit up and take notice with his play for Serbia in EuroBasket 2015 after being named Euroleague Most Valuable Player this year. Bjelica is continuing to show why to a larger and more international audience.
The six-foot-ten point forward is now 27 years old and hardly a prospect by the traditional definition, but he will be a rookie in the 2015-16 NBA season. Wolves fans should be warned not to forget about him in all the hype surrounding Karl-Anthony Towns, Tyus Jones, and others on the Wolves’ roster.
