Milos Teodosic of Serbia reportedly could be heading to the NBA very soon. According to Serbian publication, Politika, Teodosic is close to heading to the NBA and his destination could be the Jazz. Teodosic's potential move to the NBA lines up with a recent report from ESPN that the now former CSKA Moscow guard has interest from multiple NBA teams.
The 30-year-old guard has spent his entire basketball career in Europe but is considered one of the best, if not the best, passing guards in the entire world. Fran Fraschilla of ESPN went so far as to call him the most creative passer in the world.
"Offensively, he's the best passer in the world, from a purely offensive standpoint," ESPN's Fran Fraschilla said last month. "Chris Paul is a Hall of Famer, but as far as a pure passer, Teodosic might be the most creative passer in the world today. Now, he will not guard a chair, but he's a brilliant offensive player and an ultra-competitor."
This wouldn't be Teodosic's first link to the NBA. He was in the NBA Draft class of 2009 but went undrafted. He's spent his career in Europe improving his skills and becoming a major threat with the ball in his hands. Basketball fans with long memories might remember him from the most recent Olympics when he dropped this filthy no-look pass against Team USA.
If Teodosic does decide to go to the NBA then Utah could potentially be a great fit for him. Quin Snyder struggled to find a consistent backup point guard behind George Hill, but a long-time international veteran like Teodosic might be able to give him more consistency in his rotations. He's a strong 3-point shooter and if his international game translates over to the NBA level then he'll have no issues offensively.
