Luka Doncic's playoff dominance stirs more chatter that Suns should've drafted him in 2018

Many Suns fans and media members won't ease up on their jokes and guilt-tripping because the Phoenix Suns didn't draft Dallas Mavericks All-Star Luka Doncic in 2018.

The Suns chose their starting center Deandre Ayton instead of Doncic that year with their only No. 1 overall pick in team history, causing a barrage of what-if claims.

The Suns became an easy target again with the Sacramento Kings and Atlanta Hawks on Twitter Sunday after Doncic posted a triple-double of 43 points, 17 rebounds and 13 assists in the Mavericks' 135-133 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers in Orlando.
