Unconfirmed for now but reportedly both Marko Spica and Nikola Dragovic were approved by the clearinghouse despite neither having the necessary SAT score. Apparently it's connected to them having to take the test in English, being Serbian, apparently there's some leeway the clearinghouse is allowed to use to make exceptions.
The rumor is Spica will follow Ernie Ziegler to Central Michigan, and Dragovic will go to UCLA, IF he passes UCLA admissions which is NOT a given.
Pretty surprising everything i'd read said Dragovic was the least likely of the 2 to be cleared. NBA draft.net has this to say about Dragovic
They project him as a mid first round pick.
NBA Comparison: Peja Stojakovic
Strengths: Good basketball understanding ... Dragovic has long arms (6-11), and loves to dunk over guys. He's got a high skill level with excellent shooting ability and range. Shows a level of cockiness that some (especially European) players are missing ... The makings are there for him to turn into a big time prospect.
Weaknesses: Consistency, he still can get down on himself and have off games when things aren't going well ... Can get stronger physically ... Must gain experience at a higher level ...
Notes: One of the most interesting prospects at the 2005 Reebok Eurocamp camp.
