24 players young players will overall attend the Green room at Barclays Center, Brooklyn where the Draft ceremony will be held. Jovic has been projected to be a mid to late first-round pick and it’s expected he’ll be selected from 15th to 25th overall.
Jovic had a workout for the Denver Nuggets and could become a teammate of star center Nikola Jokic if the team selects him with the 21st pick they own.
In 2021-22, Jovic averaged 11.7 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 3.6 assists in ABA League with Mega Mozzart.
He is the only player coming from Europe who is considered a lock in the first round of the 2022 NBA draft and the Green room invitation practically seals the deal.
