Vasilije Micic was drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers in 2014, but did not make his NBA debut until the 2023-24 season. He was waived by the Milwaukee Bucks this summer, after two seasons in the NBA.

Lastly, Nikola Topic, picked at No. 12 in 2024, is yet to make his debut after tearing his ACL ahead of the 2024-25 season.

Outside of these players, Serbia has also called up Uros Trifunovic and Filip Petrusev for EuroBasket 2025. Trifunovic never made it to an official NBA roster and went undrafted in 2022, but he participated in the 2025 Summer League with the Houston Rockets. Meanwhile, Petrusev played three games in the league after being drafted in 2021.
