Luka Doncic Still Undecided on NBA Move

Potential top NBA Draft Pick Luka Doncic has yet to decide whether he’ll join the NBA for next season.

The 19 year old Real Madrid star is a much sought after talent. Luka Doncic is expected to be among the top three picks in the 2018 NBA Draft next month.

Speaking at a EuroLeague Final Four press conference, Luka Doncic wasn’t ruling anything out.

“Ι’m not sure if these are the last two games [in Europe]. We have yet to make this decision. Perhaps after the season.”

The point guard has won the EuroLeague Rising Star award twice, in 2017 and 2018.

The Phoenix Suns, who hold the No. 1 pick in the upcoming 2018 NBA Draft, have been mooted as a possible destination.

New Suns coach Igor Kokoskov is familiar with Doncic, having coached Slovenia to the EuroBasket 2017 championship.

“We call him wunderkind,” Kokoskov said. “He’s an upcoming, rising star. Luka is a very talented player. His ability to pass, that’s the hardest part of the game, the most difficult part to teach. To be a good passer you have to understand the game. It’s basketball IQ. He’s really unique and special at that age to understand the game well and to be a team player. He’s not necessarily playing point guard but he’s a playmaker who makes everybody else better on the court.”

The Sacramento Kings, Atlanta Hawks, Memphis Grizzlies and Dallas Mavericks round out the top five of the draft. All of those are possible destinations for Doncic, should he choose to make the leap to the NBA this year.

He has the Kokoskov link in Phoenix, although the Suns may take DeAndre Ayton from the University of Arizona instead.

Doncic’s agent, Bill Duffy, offered no further clarity on the situation

“Luka has stated no particular thought on any NBA teams,” Bill Duffy told Sporting News on Thursday.
