Even before he decided to take his act to the NBA this season, Milos Teodosic already made a lot of noise in Europe. He was widely-regarded as one of the best players overseas, especially for his facilitating skills.
During the L.A. Clippers' preseason opener on Sunday against the Toronto Raptors, the 30-year-old Serbian international showed off his impressive passing when he threw two perfect dimes to Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan. The frontcourt duo did not disappoint with how they finished, as they both converted on equally impressive baskets.

Now with Chris Paul not part of their fold anymore, the point guard duties will be tasked on Teodosic and Patrick Beverley. It may seem like a downgrade, as CP3 is one of the best floor generals in the NBA today, but the incoming rookie is proving that he can hold his own and also set up his teammates well on the court.
The adjustment to the NBA's style of play could be the biggest challenge for Teodosic. However, if his performance on Sunday is an indication of how his first season in the league will be, the Clippers may very well surprise everyone.
