Dragic is a knowledgeable player filled with positive on-court characteristics such as being a great scorer and knowing how to time passes perfectly. Dragic also makes a significant impact off the court, as he is beloved by teammates, coaches, and other members of the organizations he has been a part of.
Currently, the teams most linked to Dragic are the Milwaukee Bucks, Phoenix Suns, Dallas Mavericks, and Miami Heat.
