He’s only 19 and he already posting up and making layups against PORZINGIS and he’s one of the top shot blockers in the league rn. I’m sold. This kid is gonna be special.
It's a hook shot bigs don't block hook shots often and KP isn't a athlete if he did that to gobert or drummond I'd be impressed KP has never been a DPOY guy
Doncic Is going to be able to help a team immediately. Most rookies take some time to acclimate. He is doing nasty things to grown men and NBA players THIS year. He seems like a clear #1 pick
THIS WAS INCREDIBLE; FOR A TINY COUNTRY LIKE SLOVENIA TO WIN THE EUROS UNDEFETED! LUKA WAS VOTED INTO THE DREAM TEAM OF THE CUP AT ONLY 18! OUR CAPTAIN DRAGIC WAS THE PLAYER OF THE CUP (ALSO IDEAL 5). NOW, 7 YEARS LATER I AM THINKING WHAT KIND OF BASKETBAL TEAM WOULD YUGOSLAVIA HAVE? CERTAINLY THE MOST LIKELY ONE TO BEAT THE USA IF THE USA SENT THEIR BEST BOYS.
It’s weird that Luka could shoot pull up jumpers off the dribble back then, now he really can’t do it without doing a step back. He looks a little lighter and quicker to. He’s obviously amazing now and prob top 3 in the world, but it would be nice if he could mix in some of that older style more traditional moves that he obviously had in his bag back then.
He's alot quicker and faster here. He's gained atleast 25ibs since here. That's why he has the pull up here, rather than now he more of a slow down shooter
It’s the team. There is no real chemistry in Dallas. He had that with Slovene team and Real Madrid. When Mavs get there with Luka, sky will be the limit.
This is when I knew Luka was special, helping Slovenia win Eurobasket as a teenager with a performance that included an almost triple double against Spain. I knew if he came to the league he’d be special. So glad I was right
Shoots like klay thompson no wasted energy, unlike thompson though he can pass dribble, point forward, can play shooting guard and point guard. Amazing
comparisons too james harden/ginoboli/larry bird is in my opinion realistic. Im not saying hes gonna be as good as james or larry bird so dont go crazy. He might not even be the best player 5 years from now compared to other players in this draft, but i think he can completley turn around a teams culture. Its hard to gauge his ceiling because he doesnt compare athletically to the other top 10 prospects but skill and naturual basketball iq for a prospect is underlooked in my opinion. Plus he absolutely dominated the top european players in the world and got better as the level of intesity increased. He was on par with dragic and hes only 18. Im curious if hes gonna stay in consideration of the number 1 or even the top 3, when pre draft workouts come around and teams get enamored by these top college players athletisicm, especially with this crazy stacked draft
A young wing trio of Booker, Doncic, and Jackson would be dynamic. When you look at the NBA landscape, teams currently left in the playoffs, you will see a consistent trend stand out between teams like Golden State, Houston, Boston, and Cleveland. All four versatile and switch 1-5. Because versatility is become the main buzzword around the NBA. That’s where the future of the league is heading and there’s no way in stopping that trend.
Competitive, great shooter with good delivery on shot, bouncy not overly athletic but better than average, great vision as well. I think he and Booker would be a great backcourt duo if that's what the suns decide to do. His skills translate very well to what the NBA is about these days.
Oh wow! I don't watch NBA much but now that I know he's on Miami i'm going to have to look out for him. I youtubed him after you told me his name (thanks for that!) and he is definitely a monster!
Some of you overlooked that he played against NBA stars on this FIBA EuroBasket 2017 and that he was chosen into the group of five best players of FIBA EuroBasket 2017. While others are just kids playing against kids. Doncic can play in NBA right now he is totaly ready NBA player... he ran over Porzings, Ginobili... on this FIBA EuroBasket 2017. And today he is even stronger faster, higher... but still only 19 years old.
Still cant believe he's a Maverick! Cant wait to see him with DSJ! But if I had to pick a weakness, it's probably his lack of postup moves. I could be wrong about this.
Doncic is a 19 year old NBA ready player... I think only Bron was on that level at that age... no matter what position your team is lacking it should pick him
The arch on his shot will be helpful in NBA. Being 19, he'll have time to acclimate and improve. Should be able to contribute immediately. Cuban knows what he's doing.
He plays just like dragic and that's at 18 just imagine how much better he'll be at 25 i could see him next year averaging 17.4 ppg 6 rebounds 4.2 assist next season in the nba
Nightmare Nightmare You don't need to jump high to grab rebounds. Steph curry is 6'3" and averages 5.1 rebounds a game. Chris Paul is 6'0" and averages 5.4 rebounds a game. It's about positioning and awareness.
yea he wont average those numbers in his first year, give him time to adjust to a new country, learn the language be comfortable no need to put that much pressure on him
Man if the suns draft him and then get a good big with the second draft pick then that would be incredible for us and plus we even have his coach! It would also break the streak for small point guards that we always get for some reason
I'm A Legend They Should Paint Me Giannis, hezonja, Rudy Fernandez, porzingis? Idk man he's good but not athletic even compared to a lot of other euro NBA players, I'd say athletically he's similar to saric
Didn't mean that. Should have said it differently. Anyways, Luka Doncic is a really good prospect. I enjoy watching him. I wish he stays healthy and land on the right team.
Lets say it takes him some time to get accustomed to more athletic guards defending him, he might not be as efficient in making baskets early on but he has plenty of moves and range to average at least 15 points a game to start in the NBA. With his Ricky Rubio vision at 6'6 he will definitely be worthy of a top 3 pick. He's better than Sexton and Trae Young. I believe he can play PG, SG, and SF in the league.
are you guys seeing what Luka is doing with Slovenia at the #Tokyo2020 Olympics right now?? #basketball
He's making the Olympics look easy.
yup. He is just amazing :)
No matter how high he gets selected. That’s your BEST player of the 2018 Draft.

You can see the future can’t you
Kings fans disliked this
Now he's arguably the best player in the league only two years later
This comment aged REALLY well lol
THIS kid will be will be the next Dallas Mavericks Rookie of the Year since Jason Kidd, watch.
Beautiful call
ur right
exactly
This man can see the future
Nostradamus :D
He’s only 19 and he already posting up and making layups against PORZINGIS and he’s one of the top shot blockers in the league rn. I’m sold. This kid is gonna be special.
18 in those games

Porzingis on Mavs now
@@garybenson1035 did u just say kp isn't an athlete yep u don't watch basketball u just rely on highlights and stereotypes
This tourney of his is without a doubt the best an 18-year old has ever done against elite grown competition.
Also, time goes by so fast…

true
It’s feels weird seeing it, but not hearing the “ooooohhss” from the crowd
@@nate3000 I dont think it was a home game
My guy on defense literally quit basketball right then and there
Damnnnnnn
This kid is the real deal lol, that’s really all you can say. His resume speaks volumes as well.
He posted up porzingis and hit a hook shot over him, I’m sold
and now they are teammates
Why Porzingis was still playing in Euroleague when he was already in the NBA in 2015? Because this highlight 7:18 is from 2017
@@ronalddave3200 he was playing for his country
@@ixbnro ahh okay bro, thanks for the reply
@@johnchristianbarrion2650 and now porzingis lost for doncic against the clippers. And learned that porzingis is actually soft af
He reminds me of James Harden/Manu Ginoblivwith better passing skills. He’s gonna be a star in the NBA
The only positive comment about Luka I’ve ever read from a Hawks fan. Respect!
You where right.
What’s the upcoming lottery ticket numbers?
Harden Ginobli & Luka are neck & neck when it comes to passing
Aged like fine wine
yep, so many good euro players over the last decade. I feel like doncic has a chance to be better then all of them
GO MAVS
ddd as
Where are _Mavs Fans_ at!?
here
Sssaga Benches where the noobs that called him a bust at? 😂
Right cheah
@MUFC did we ask?
Who's watching 2019?
By now, I'm sure y'all are impressed and the Mavs fans are sooooooo lucky to get this guy!
Mavericks might be relevant this season, and what a blessing to have Dirk there as a mentor.
@Bogdan P LOL
@Bogdan P pffft
European Basketball is so smooth....
Who here at 2019??
Can’t wait to see him in Nba
Doncic Is going to be able to help a team immediately. Most rookies take some time to acclimate. He is doing nasty things to grown men and NBA players THIS year. He seems like a clear #1 pick
Jordan Fadness not NBA players
In Eurobasket he did and 0% of NCAA players have even played against someone who's ever been in the nba
Cooper James Eurobasket has NBA players bro
Those threes were so clean

Why did the scouts not think he was the best player in the draft? 😂😂😂
He is hitting step back 3’s and his game is still similar
3:26 That guy gave up before he broke his ankles, hahaha!
Damn.....Doncic got that it factor. I hope he’ll be able to so well in the NBA💯👌🏿🔥
That coast to coast push in transition into a dunk in the last clip. Perfect example of how underrated Luka is as an athlete 😤
He was much much more leaner back then, he can't get up like that anymore
Maybe the greatest talent ever
Yes
Of Europe ,l
Yes
Wow, no doubt this man has a gift. Future mvp of the nba, not this season maybe, but he will be eventually.
he got robbed this season
Goosebumps at the last dunk against Serbia :>
3:24 When you lose one battle and don't want a rematch.
It’s weird that Luka could shoot pull up jumpers off the dribble back then, now he really can’t do it without doing a step back. He looks a little lighter and quicker to. He’s obviously amazing now and prob top 3 in the world, but it would be nice if he could mix in some of that older style more traditional moves that he obviously had in his bag back then.
It's weird he went from a leaping jump shooter to a set shot shooter lol
He's alot quicker and faster here. He's gained atleast 25ibs since here. That's why he has the pull up here, rather than now he more of a slow down shooter
to bad i cant see this energy of his in the nba games... i hope he finds back to this
It’s the team. There is no real chemistry in Dallas. He had that with Slovene team and Real Madrid. When Mavs get there with Luka, sky will be the limit.
Lol
Bro what
RoY and Three 1st team all nba selections in his first 4 seasons lol. This didn’t age well
A new era begins..GO MAVS GO!
This is when I knew Luka was special, helping Slovenia win Eurobasket as a teenager with a performance that included an almost triple double against Spain. I knew if he came to the league he’d be special. So glad I was right
Men his passing is legit top 3 for sure

Stavi top 3 for sure. If porzingus can go top 10 with that little bit of coverage then he can with how skill
I see more Gordon Hayward with better playmaking but less athletic
He has a very similar playstyle to Harden, not very athletic but great ball skills and 3 point shot.
No he aint fool.
Preach. I also see a blend of Harden and Bird but everybody is so reluctant to compare a white guy to a black player
9:35 - a wild Boban appears
Superteams in the Nba
Lakers: Lebron,Brodie,A.d.
Nets: KD, Harden,Kyrie

Moss 5295, yeah his skill set should translate well, NBA guards are about 3's, drive and kick.
This aged well
Imagine a CP3/Booker/Luka trio lmao, literally unstoppable on offense
That step back at 3:26😭
I feel like this is a highlight reel for #3 on the team! He's on damn near every clip, killin it! lol
Breaths fire!

I think he will do pretty good in the league. His potential is very high as well
Hahahahahahah
Mavericks baby !!
Man he’s good at finding open shooters
Sometimes it’s hard to decide which is prettier; this kid’s game, or his mother.
He's a freaking Carmelo-Steve Nash hybrid.
he is a machine for 3points
He will be a very good player in NBA.
Doncic in nba, 19pts 6.6reb 4.9ast per a game
Three years later averaging tripple double
getting back in shape 🔥
Blessed reall Luka doncci you faithful me 2022 2015
It was my pleasure to be the hundredth like on this video. Doncic looks like a nice, young talent! He's got a high basketball IQ for sure :O
im so happy now my first name will be on 2K
And I'm here because of his game-winning shot today.
Mark Cuban, licking his chops!!!!
I love his size, passing, ball handling, jump shot, and potential. He just needs to work on his defense and he could be a little more athletic.
Still cant believe he's a Maverick! Cant wait to see him with DSJ! But if I had to pick a weakness, it's probably his lack of postup moves. I could be wrong about this.
7:42 doncic with the curry release
That boy a monster
European basketball is beautiful.
The most complete player today.
Crazy that he and porzingis went against each other but are now teammates.
Same with bobi 😎
Not anymore
Everyone saying he's not athletic, but he's pretty quick when running the floor and has enough speed to run a fast break full court.
5:36 looking like a euro JAMES HARDEN.
Doncic is a 19 year old NBA ready player... I think only Bron was on that level at that age... no matter what position your team is lacking it should pick him
Lebron was WAYYYYY better at 18
Ethan Stewart idk their stats are pretty similar rn
@@KingEZ33 if you say so...
My Name is Luka....
I hope he wears 77 in the NBA. Unique number.
Extra Terrestrial waauu..! 😅
Harrison Barnes - Denis smith jr - Luca doncic wow
This guy may score 20 points in a NBA game one day
The Slovenian Larry Bird
He wouldn't make a pimple on birds ass!!!
Keep your offensive comparisons to yourself, R.D.Gamboa;
MrKonan is 100% right.
IloveB-Ball thank you !!! Kid hasnt played American style ball against top athletes... . Glad someone besides me didn't drink the kool aid👍
The arch on his shot will be helpful in NBA. Being 19, he'll have time to acclimate and improve. Should be able to contribute immediately. Cuban knows what he's doing.
Rey David Gamboa
Only in Slovenia. I think he'll be good though. He does play hard-nosed like Bird. Time will tell (and its on his side.)
This Guy is good.. I hope he doesn't get injured in the NBA
7:43 is a huge travelling, not by doncic, but the player giving him the ball, right in front of the ref....
Not sure if he’ll be a star in the league but he’s insanely skilled.
He's gonna be MVP very soon.
😂😂
Welcome to my house 💙
dude just euro-stepped on the 3 point line
He plays just like dragic and that's at 18 just imagine how much better he'll be at 25 i could see him next year averaging 17.4 ppg 6 rebounds 4.2 assist next season in the nba

Rebounding is about positioning not athleticism
andy odvor yeah he won’t average over 15 points
Also doncic definitely has ups and is pretty tall/long.
yea he wont average those numbers in his first year, give him time to adjust to a new country, learn the language be comfortable no need to put that much pressure on him
He's taken by the mavericks, that's where I live
I need the Cavs to wind up with the 3rd pick so they can get him ASAP!
This Guy just beat the clippers today with a game winner and a triple double
Man if the suns draft him and then get a good big with the second draft pick then that would be incredible for us and plus we even have his coach! It would also break the streak for small point guards that we always get for some reason
Gran video
Great pick mavs
Reminds me of drazen petrovic, hopefully he can be half as good as petrovic was , R.I.P.
Amen!
Well... Not my intention disrespect the great Petrovic, but he is actually way better.
Idk why but he looks way more athletic while playing in the euro league
-10kg...
Yes
He was younger and tiner
Steve Nash With Muscles damn this is the most athletic euro player I've ever seen
I'm A Legend They Should Paint Me more athletic than Giannis?
The big downside that Luka has to NBA teams is his athleticism 😂😂
Giannis?
I'm A Legend They Should Paint Me Giannis, hezonja, Rudy Fernandez, porzingis? Idk man he's good but not athletic even compared to a lot of other euro NBA players, I'd say athletically he's similar to saric
Yall's comparisons are getting out f hand "Steve Nash with muscles" cmon now
Pls come to Memphis we need you😭
He's got talent. The only thing left for him to become an all-star is being healthy and working hard, like LeBron and Kobe.
Atanas Dichev howd u know he hasnt worked hard to become the player he is today already? Nobody is born with the ability to shoot the ball like that
Where do you see me saying he hasn't worked hard?
Atanas Dichev You said he has talent thus implying that his abilities were gifted not worked for
Didn't mean that. Should have said it differently. Anyways, Luka Doncic is a really good prospect. I enjoy watching him. I wish he stays healthy and land on the right team.
Best luka best
Hes legit
Amazing history comeng in drafs
Number 1 draft pick by far!.
so he is coming to mavericks in exchange for mavericks 5th pick this year & gets 2019 first round pick, correct?
yup
Lets say it takes him some time to get accustomed to more athletic guards defending him, he might not be as efficient in making baskets early on but he has plenty of moves and range to average at least 15 points a game to start in the NBA. With his Ricky Rubio vision at 6'6 he will definitely be worthy of a top 3 pick. He's better than Sexton and Trae Young. I believe he can play PG, SG, and SF in the league.
He’s ROY
This guy would fit perfectly into Hoidbergs scheme at guard.....
