Well, we have an entirely new chapter of information on the Croation Sensation now. For one thing, we know he has dance moves:
And we know he can drain three pointers:

And he will play a significant role on the team this year:

I won’t lie. Right now I am excited to see Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid. Additionally, I am eager to see newly signed free agents Sergio Rodriguez, Jerryd Bayless, and Gerald Henderson. Even moreso, I am even eager to see what returning players Jahlil Okafor, Nerlens Noel, Jerami Grant, Robert Covington, T.J. McConnell, and Richaun Holmes deliver this year. But I cannot contain my enthusiasm when I project Olympic star Dario Saric on this team.
He fills a void on the roster in many ways: a true 82 game power forward who can play offense and defense, who is out to prove himself to the NBA, and a blue collar guy who is out to do his best. He can work the boards, pass on a laser beam, shoot from long range, and block a game winning shot.
Next: Was Nerlens Noel Making a Statement During Media Day?
But most of all, he can make the ladies swoon.
That pretty much seals the deal.
