Dallas Mavericks: Luka Doncic draws high praise from former NBA player

The Dallas Mavericks invested heavily in drafting Luka Doncic this offseason. They used two first round picks to move up to take him. That is a significant investment to make on a 19-year-old, but Doncic is special.

He has played professionally since age 15 and he dominated the Euroleague in route to winning MVP last season. No rookie in NBA history had a resume that stacks up well against what Doncic has accomplished in the previous four years.

The Dallas Mavericks are not the only ones high on Luka Doncic, either.

Former NBA player turned coach is all in

Sarunas Jasikevicius played two NBA seasons with the Indiana Pacers from 2005-2007.
