Luka Doncic has just won the Euroleague and Liga Endesa ACB MVP awards, the Euroleague final four MVP, and the Euroleague Championship. His skill set is so advanced that he will be able to contribute right away at the NBA level. The level of all-around offense that he brings is absolutely marvelous, especially when considering his age and the level of competition he’s been playing against. Yet, teams and scouts alike have become very cautious about drafting the young prodigy for two, mayor reasons: athleticism and defense.
Although he has an incredible skill set, great size/strength, and the basketball IQ/intangibles that scouts could only dream of for a young player to have, his defense is between above-average (at least in my opinion), and borderline sub par.
