@@sebastiankrajewski2029 I wish you were right, but as a longtime Mavs fan, I don't think they have enough pieces to win two championships in the next 5 years.
You are smart guys, Luka is natural Basketball player I was born in ex Yugoslavia, trust me country with more talent than rest of Europe combine, and he is Serbian, Bosnian where in the Europe you can find talents like in that area, that run in our blood team sport,
This dude won a EuroLeague mvp and lead his team to a championship. Meanwhile, DeAndre Ayton couldn’t lead his team to a single win in the ncaa tournament 😂😂😂
This dude has every single achivement one can hope to have in europe at age 19 its insane really he can retire tomorrow and still be top5 alltime in europe in terms of accolades
He's gonna excell. People keep trying to compare him to other euro players, but he is different. He was signed to a pro team at 13. Started for the team when he was 16. He is literally LeBron At 19 ( less athletic but better shooter similar iq ). I am black and live in America, and I hate how European/white players are all thrown in a pot. There are slow, unathletic, blah blah blah. Bullshit. If Donic was Donte, he would be #1 draft pick for sure 😏
Mel Catalyst He wasnt signed at 13 lol. He just played for the youth division of the team. You most likely dont care but I just wanted to point out that franchises here work different than in the us
*I'll be back after 10 years when Luka is at his prime and has established himself as the best player in the league* Edit: *best player at that time* *(or maybe even best player OAT)*
Exactly. He's crafty, strong and has perfectly solid athleticism. Certainly no worse than Harden, who will be really fat in about three months after he stops playing.
Lebron is also extremely athletic to go with his strength. I don't see Luka getting to 250lbs. Honestly if I'm a team I'd ask him to cut some weight to maybe get some more quickness and speed.
He would be favourite player in the playoffs and he had the advantage to go professional basketbal and his father played basketball professional that makes him game naturally
Put every draft player on Real Madrid Squad en watch what they would do. Luca is performing on top level competitions, the college kids jas never experianced that so how is hè not no 1.
I wonder how Luka is gonna feel about being the new Eminem. Right now it's "Them Euros never pan out". Then someone says Dirk or KP & they say "No Euro guards ever pan out". Then someone says "Tony Parker" and they say "No White Euro guards ever pan out". Then when Luka has 2-3 years in the association & the next Euro prospect comes up in discussion it's gonna be "Everybody think they the next Luka. Luka overrated, anyways. Them Euros never pan out..." Then when Luka has 7-10 years in the league it's gonna be "Yeah Luka nice, but he the only one... them Euros never pan out"
+Vitor Hara Point taken. By the same token, they did the same for LeBron in high school. They showed his high school games instead of ACC & other Power 5 conference games. LeBron on the cover of Sports Illustrated labeled the Chosen One before he even did a single workout for an NBA team. I don't remember anybody complaining about all the hype & how LeBron was shoved down our throats. By the way, +ESPN doesn't operate in the sports business any longer. The days of highlights are over. No one watches Sportscenter, anymore. +ESPN is in the hype business. That's what they do. First Take, Get Up, PTI, Around the Horn, etc. Nothing but hype machines.
NCAA isnt close to the NBA either, and he's under contract playing the season right now ofcourse he's not working out with teams. And you dont need to see him in the US to see talent. Plus he's played against many nba players and looked great
@Vitor Hara So "Euroleague is not close to the NBA"?..but the NCAA and US High Schools these american picks are playing somehow is? The competition Ayton and these other prospects are playing against would never make a starting 5 in Euroleague to save their lives let alone do what Luka did last season. "No1 pick" Anthony Bennet could not average 1 minute per game when he tried Euroleague last season. So what are you talking about? Why would Doncic have to go to the workouts and dribble around cones and shoot some threes for people to see that he is clearly , basketball skill wise, head and shoulders above the rest in that draft? He has proved it against NBA competition too in Eurobasket.
Joshua Frick people say euro players don't pan out because a vast majority of them underperforming lol. Naming 2 or 3 guys who did doesn't change the fact a lot of them bust. Euro ball in picking up finally and the country is getting more into it so future euro prospects are going to be much better but before that status was mostly valid.
He has not been playing against kids, he has been playing against men, and he has been Champion in Spain and Champion in Europe, with his team and with his national team, and he is the MVP and the finals MVP in Euroleague, with 19 years old, against the best players that are not playing in NBA; I don't know who will be the best in five years, but nowadays Doncic is the best player in this draft, by far, congratulations Mavs, enjoy him
Phx will go after Capela and LBJ and PG will be on the Lakers, right? fuck outta here.... Ofc reporters said that...Literally every team that has cap-space would try to get Capela just to make the Rockets weaker.... BTW, Capela is a restricted free-agent, meaning the Rockets can match ANY OFFER Capela has.
sWampY Capela will recieve the best offer from Phx, Regardless, I still think Luka is the best player in this class. You can argue about the upside of Ayton but only time can tell who will be the better player.
Luka Doncic can play the Point Guard position. He's said he could play 1, 2, 3, and possibly the 4th as well. I'd just leave Booker at SG and try Luka at PG.
The Sun's coach scouted him a few years before the draft and yet, they didn't draft him. Imagine how Booker's game would play out if he was playing with Luka.
That would have been lethal. A sad story of what could have been. It would have been better for both their careers if they had played together, they would have won a chip by now. Oh well, at least Luka is doing what he do. Booker too, on a much lesser level of course.
If Luka is still available at 3 pick and Hawks don't pick him up, I'm gonna be pissed. This guy is a winner, he has the "mamba" mentality. Leaving school, leaving country, just to excel at the sport, becoming champion with Real, winning with Slovenia, this all takes guts and determination.
I personally think he will fair well in the NBA Nikola Jokic is a guy who is not Uber athletic but he’s fundamentally skilled and is probably one the most offensively skilled big men in the game right now so I’m excited about Doncic can’t wait to see what he becomes
He is 19. A lot of players who work on their athleticism since young age in future have a lot of injuries. In 2 seasons, he will be athletic as Ben Simmons which is going to be game breaking
Slovenia is a country of approximately 2 millions inhabitants.And they gave the U.S. the First Lady and actually one of the best players in the N.B.A.Very interesting...
I like the Euro players. They offer a real advantage over US college players with experience and style of play. And all of them can pass extremely well. I don’t like when coaches try to coach the Euro out of them and that happens way too often
Respect. A lot of idiots are calling him a bust already because he doesn't have a 42" vertical. There's a reason Steve Nash won the MVP and James "Flight" White never stuck in the league. Athleticism isn't everything.
Brodie Stephens I think the coaches are the Euro guys worst enemy. You have a few exceptions but coming to the NBA from Europe can be a culture/competition shock. The older coaches don’t know how to maximize their effectiveness on the floor along with all the other house names. I mean Ginobli was a BEAST back in his prime. No one could check him. Guys like Rubio, Porzingis, Dirk, Sabonis, Stojakavic, Nash, Antetakoupo etc I could go on and on, but all these guys have 1 thing they all do exceptionally well. They can pass and that’s all a credit to the Euro style.
Oh man, that moment at 0:35, when he hits the Dragon in the head and ball bounces back in the basket, made me LMAO 🤣 I mean it is so "Luka thing" now, with all of those trick shots like kicking the Screen cubes with the ball bouncing back to the basket and etc..😂😂
vskillz96 his defense is pretty bad too lol and harden and Ginobli are reaches. Harden was an elite 1v1 player with great athleticism at the time, he absorbed contact better and didn't have problems creating vs superior athletes. Both had tighter handles, better lateral movement, better at attacking the hoop especially downhill vs bigs in pick and roll where doncic doesn't do as well as I'd like. Both were craftier players and could attack some really off angles. Doncic is a great player especially at his age but I don't see those comparisons.
vskillz96 I know he's a kid, those comparisons still aren't valid lmao. He'll be a good player but his playstyle isn't much like either of the guys really. Both exceled at 1v1 and shot creations in half court and full court and didn't have problems vs superior athletes. Donic plays a different game but it's obviously working for him
@vskillz96 My guy, go educate yourself on Manu , he was playing pro ball at 19 in Argentina and then Italy, not against high school players. Doncic has great potential and honestly it would be amazing if he managed to reach Manu's level and even surpass it, but its not something that is easily done.
Wonderlandian Do you actually compare argentian league with the two best European leagues? (Euroleague - Spanish) Manu is awesome but he didn't play in europe until he was 21 and he didn't even play at an elite team like Real Madrid, Doncic is doing it since he was 16, and after 3 years at 19 he became the MVP, that's why everyone here in Europe calls him a wonderboy, no one had so much potential in Europe, he may never be the player we are expecting but for sure he will be a very good player in the NBA.
I'm calling it now and I've been calling it for the better part for a year and a half this guys gonna be special.... I mean he could have great chemistry with a paint can

LetMeGet Ughh You know Doncic is only 19 year old? Ginobilli and Harden at this age they were playing against high school players. Give him some time.
vskillz96 I know he's a kid, those comparisons still aren't valid lmao. He'll be a good player but his playstyle isn't much like either of the guys really. Both exceled at 1v1 and shot creations in half court and full court and didn't have problems vs superior athletes. Donic plays a different game but it's obviously working for him
@vskillz96
My guy, go educate yourself on Manu , he was playing pro ball at 19 in Argentina and then Italy, not against high school players.
Doncic has great potential and honestly it would be amazing if he managed to reach Manu's level and even surpass it, but its not something that is easily done.
Wonderlandian Do you actually compare argentian league with the two best European leagues? (Euroleague - Spanish) Manu is awesome but he didn't play in europe until he was 21 and he didn't even play at an elite team like Real Madrid, Doncic is doing it since he was 16, and after 3 years at 19 he became the MVP, that's why everyone here in Europe calls him a wonderboy, no one had so much potential in Europe, he may never be the player we are expecting but for sure he will be a very good player in the NBA.
Soon to be olympic medalist and nba champion
