A youth player from Barça dazzles the NCAA and aims for the number 1 pick in the 2028 NBA Draft

Nikola Kusturica has become one of the biggest sensations in the NCAA. The 17-year-old Serbian forward, who was trained at FC Barcelona, debuted with nine points against the Arizona Wildcats, but delivered a spectacular performance in the victory of UCLA against North Florida (114-63), scoring 29 points with outstanding shooting percentages: 10/12 from the field and 4/6 from three-point range.

His performance has generated great excitement in the United States, and he is already among the candidates to be the number 1 pick in the 2028 Draft. Despite this, the young player remains grounded. "I just kept shooting. I don't even think. I don't think I'm unstoppable," he explained to Yahoo Sports.
