Radicevic is similar to Mudiay in one sense: both are huge point guards. Radicevic played for Cajasol Sevilla in the ACB League in Spain. He signed a five-year contract with Sevilla in 2012.
Radicevic will be expected to stay overseas as a draft-and-stash player. He was rated as No. 6 international player born in 1994 by DraftExpress.
This has been a busy offseason for the Nuggets. They’ve hired a new coach in Mike Malone, dealt with trade rumors surrounding Ty Lawson, and have now selected Emmanuel Mudiay. The pick would seem to confirm that Lawson is on the trade block.
The Nuggets finished 30-52 overall last season. After making the playoffs 10 straight years, they have now missed the postseason twice in a row.
