in the mold of a Paul George or Gordon Hayward. If we were to compare him to current NBA player, we’d have to find a do-it-all shooting guard/small forward one that both rebounds and passes well, while also can reliably shoot from afar and attach the hoop. Luka already has a great shooting touch, his athleticism is leaps above Rubio (even at his most athletic), and Doncic can put the ball in the hoop in a variety of manners - from three pointers to aggressive and rugged drives to the basket. However, we disagree with that comparison as Doncic’s display of skills clearly show a big divide in their abilities. Doncic does have superior height and hops resulting in some early comparisons to taller point guards and wings in the league today. He has most closely been compared to fellow European guard, Ricky Rubio, with regards to his early maturity and trajectory to compete in the NBA.
LUKA DONCIC STTS PROFESSIONAL
Luka has been compared to a number of professional players. He also won in the Under-18 Next Generation Tournament, where he was selected MVP. During 2015, Doncic won the Under-18 Ciutat de L’Hospitalet Tournament, and was selected to the All-Tournament Team. During this season he average 14.5 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game. He would go on to sign his first contract in September 2012 at 13 years of age to play for Real Madrid for 5 years.ĭuring the 2014-15 season, Doncic would move up to play on the Real Madrid Under-18 team, or service team. Throughout these younger years, Luka would easily dominate his age group, so he was always brought up to play against older boys.
The younger Doncic started playing basketball at an extremely young age, and his first organized league was in grade school when he was seven years old. Luka Dončić was born in 1999 to former of Slovenian National Team forward Saša Dončić. Read more about what our forum members have to say about Dončić. He is rumored to have been playing basketball since he was seven months old, and is easily one of the most hyped basketball prospects to come out of Europe potentially ever. Doncic is eligible for the draft and will have two seasons of professional basketball under his belt for Spanish powerhouse Real Madrid by the time it comes to next year’s draft.
