At #3 The Atlanta Hawks Select: LUKA DONCIC (Traded to Dallas)

THE REAL MADRID STAR IS COMING OFF OF A EUROLEAGUE CAMPAIGN WHERE HE EARNED MVP HONORS AT THE AGE OF 19.  DONCIC CAN PLAY MULTIPLE POSITIONS ON THE COURT, RANGING FROM THE 4 SPOT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO PLAYING POINT GUARD.  HIS COURT VISION AND AWARENESS MAKE HIM DEADLY WHEN HE HAS THE BALL IN THE BACKCOURT, AND THE SLOVENIAN CAN OVERPOWER SMALLER GUARDS ON THE BLOCK.  DEFENSIVELY, DONCIC HAS LIMITATIONS BECAUSE OF HIS LACK OF FOOT SPEED AND MAY NEVER BE A GREAT DEFENDER.  IN THE END, IT’S HIS OFFENSIVE GAME THAT MANY IN THE NBA HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH, AND THAT IS LIKELY TO BE THE CASE THE REST OF HIS CAREER.
