Another year, another Luka - only this guy is from Croatia, the neighboring country of Slovenia (where Luka Doncic hails from). For what it’s worth, Samanic has consistently been considered the second best international prospect in the 2019 draft (after Sekou Doumbouya), in a draft with a record 58 international players declaring early-entry. He’s (Samanic) been playing professional basketball since 2017, playing for FC Barcelona’s second team before signing a multi-year contract with Olimpija (in Slovenia) last year.
