The emergence of Luka Doncic as a top talent in the NBA happened so quickly last year that non-Dallas Mavericks fans were used to his stats by the end of the season. That is part of the reason so many convinced themselves that there was an actual race for Rookie of the Year, something the voters proved was not the case.
Luka was an impressive talent long before he made it to the NBA. After years of impressing in the EuroLeague, Luka came over with some hardware in hand, including EuroLeague MVP award, Final Four MVP award, EuroLeague title, Spanish Liga ACB MVP and Liga ACB championship.
