Luka Doncic Awareness Thread

(1/92) > >>

detour:
Firstly, just check this 11 second video of what he did in one of the toughest away games in Euroleague at 17 years old:

This is not a fluke. He performs day in day out, in a top European club, and do Chris Paul stuff despite playing SG/SF. He scores in different ways, runs pick and rolls and pops, has a very reliable outside shot and court vision. He is touted as one of the greatest Euro prospects ever.

So why the thread? He will be eligible in 2018 NBA draft, and every Celtics fan must know this guy considering we have a potentially high draft pick. We shouldn't trade it unless we rob some poor team.

For the interested, his Euroleague stats page:

saltlover:
I'm on record in about 10 threads as saying Luka Doncic is my hands down favorite for 2018.

Androslav:
There is a little bit of Manu in him, and he was my favorite player to watch for years. Definitely a guy to keep an eye on.

footey:
All the more reason to hang onto the 2018 pick.

oldtype:
His numbers are ridiculous for 17.  If what Zizic is doing at 20 is an 8 on a scale of 1-10, this is like a 15. 

That said, he's 17.  It's going to be at least 2 years until he plays an NBA game.  There is a lot that can go wrong in the meantime.
