The Dallas Mavericks obtained Luka Doncic in last year’s draft after trading their fifth overall pick and a 2019 first rounder to the Atlanta Hawks for their third selection. Hawks chose Trae Young, and the Mavericks got their man in what continues to be one of the most talked about trades. The deal will link the two throughout their careers.
Doncic was EuroLeague MVP in 2018, but many wondered if that success would transfer to the NBA. It did not take long for Luka to prove himself.
Although only 19 years old, he carried the team to 33 wins which was seven victory improvement over the previous season.
