The sky really is the limit for Dallas Mavericks rookie, Luka Doncic. When the 2018 NBA Draft was nearing, everyone knew that Luka was one of the guys to watch. Viewed as perhaps the best international prospect in NBA history, Doncic was coming off a historic season in the EuroLeague where he won the MVP award at only 19 years old.
By the time the NBA Draft was underway, a lot of teams had convinced themselves that Luka wasn’t worth the gamble, primarily because of defensive concerns. The Phoenix Suns selecting first picked Deandre Ayton, a big man that was no joke in college and considered one of the best big men available in years.
