The FIBA World Cup has been a coming out party for many NBA players, but none more than Zoran Dragic, the brother of Phoenix Suns’ star Goran Dragic.
Dragic has turned heads since the start of the FIBA World Cup and he got to highlight his skill set in Slovenia’s 119-76 loss to the United States. Dragic has played so well that it has prompted many NBA teams to inquire about the 6-foot-5 guards eligibility to join the NBA.
According to ESPN’s Marc Stain, as many as seven teams have inquired about Dragic, but the Phoenix Suns, Sacramento Kings and Indiana Pacers have emerged as the most likely to convince the three-point specialist to change leagues.
ESPN sources say Phoenix, Indiana and Sacramento are the teams in most serious pursuit of Slovenian guard Zoran Dragic, brother of Goran

As ESPN reported this week, Zoran Dragic DOES still have ability to jump to NBA this season as long move is made before start of Spanish ACB — Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) September 10, 2014
If no deal struck in short term and Zoran Dragic starts season w/ Unicaja Malaga, he'll have to wait until summer of 2015 to join bro in NBA

Other teams rumored to be interested in Dragic include the San Antonio Spurs, Dallas Mavericks, Orlando Magic, and Miami Heat. The Houston Rockets could also find themselves looking into Dragic considering they lost their own three point specialist in Chandler Parsons.
Zoran Dragic averaged 12.9 points on 43.3 percent shooting from three-point range in the World Cup and has emerged as a legitimate NBA talent. In the same year, his brother Goran broke out to the tune of 20.3 points and 5.9 assists per game with the Suns.
