No strangers to overseas talent pools, the San Antonio Spurs were on the cutting edge of the “draft-and-stash” process when they selected Nikola Milutinov back in 2015. The former first-round pick recently signed a new deal with CSKA Moscow to continue playing in Europe for the foreseeable future, per Keith Smith of NBC Sports.
After being selected with the 26th pick in the 2015 Draft, the San Antonio Spurs held on to Milutinov’s draft rights as he continued to play in Europe. As he was only 20 years old when the Spurs drafted him it made sense for him to continue playing overseas.
