Luka Doncic and youth playing overseas
Nov 22, 2019 08:15 PM #1

Luka Doncic had a triple double with 35 points in his last game against the lowly Golden State Warriors... in 25 minutes of play. (least minutes ever for a triple double that included 30+ points) The kid doesn't turn 21 until February 28th, and he's averaging a triple double. He already has the record for most triple doubles for a kid under 21.

Did playing professionally overseas young prepare him better than anything we have here? Did the youngest LaWhatever Ball prepare himself better by going to China?

Well if you’re good enough to play pro ball at age 14 you’re a bit of a prodigy. Euro ball depending on the league is better or worse than college ball. Svi had a similar experience, but he’s not the freak than Doncic is. I’d say Luka is one of a kind.

(I was hoping some weird deal would force him to the ncaa for a year. You never know with adidas and overseas recruits...)

Luka is an absolute stud.
