Young International Swingman is Ready for the Big Stage

If there’s one thing that the 2020 NBA Playoffs from the Orlando bubble taught us, it’s that the international guys playing these days are definitely NOT your father’s international guys.

Luka Doncic (No. 3 overall, 2018) made a massive splash with the Mavs this summer. Nikola Jokic (No. 41, 2014) established himself as the best offensive center in the game – and arguably one of the best passing bigs of all-time. The Heat might have been a healthy Goran Dragic (No. 45, 2008) away from upsetting the Lakers for the NBA title.
