Spurs' first-round pick Nikola Milutinov joins Olympiacos

Serbian center Nikola Milutinov, the Spurs’ first-round pick in this year’s draft, will continue his career with Greek power Olympiacos, the club announced on Saturday.

The Spurs reportedly gave Milutinov, 20, their blessing to sign a three-year deal with “multiple NBA outs” according to EuroHoops.net.

Intrigued by his mobility and effectiveness on the offensive glass, the Spurs selected Milutinov with the 26th pick in last month’s draft with the intent on letting him continue his growth in Europe.
