New Clippers point guard Milos Teodosic is one of basketball’s flashiest passers

The Clippers signed Milos Teodosic for two years. If your attention to basketball begins and ends in the NBA, you may be wondering who that is. Here’s who that is!

Teodosic is 30 and a legend in Europe. He’s helped make his home country of Serbia one of the best non-U.S. teams in international competition, and he’s a former EuroLeague MVP (2010) who led CSKA Moscow to a championship in 2016.

Beyond all that, Teodosic is a siiiiiick passer. That’s really what we’re here to tell you. Teodosic is a solid shooter and a pretty bad defender, but he throws assists you’ve never seen before in your life, and he’s been doing it for a while now. Teodosic is absolutely not a replacement for Chris Paul in terms of overall skill, but as a lob-throwing, needle-threading machine for Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan, he fits perfectly.

Or, said differently:

Milos Teodosic is not young and he’s not a great two-way player, but he’s an otherworldly passer who’s going to be a whole lot of fun in Los Angeles.
