There’s a significant buzz in Dallas for the second straight year after draft night, and it’s hard to ignore it.
In what’s widely praised as the best move of the night, the Mavericks traded with the Atlanta Hawks to move up and select European superstar, Luka Doncic, with the third overall pick. “Wonderboy”, as he’s known in Slovenia, was near the top of the Mavericks’ draft board, so getting their guy at three is a value pick that makes the surrendering of next year’s pick (with light protection) well worth the gamble.
