- Hedo Turkoglu is spelled wrong. I know how to spell his name. Missed that somehow. Torkoglu is funnier though, let’s be real.
Luka Dončić is a 19-year-old hoops prodigy from Ljubljana, Slovenia with a bright, contagious personality and a supremely balanced skill set.
It's been said that Luka is the perhaps the greatest and most promising young player in the history of European basketball. Lofty expectations for a player, but nonetheless he's been on the radar and in the conversation for the #1 pick in 2018 for the last year or so. He's a point-forward-type with great size and a solid build at 6'8" and 225 pounds, and a very highly developed and keen sense for the game.

I do not own the footage used in this video. Its use is intended for the purposes of commentary only.
Also just want to say that the support that I've gotten from you guys has been inspiring for me. I honestly wish I'd done this years ago. Thanks to everyone for being so kind. Let's keep doing this. 🙏 - Sport
A year later and this didn't just age well, I mean you got everything about what he did for himself and the mavericks as a team absolutely and completely right. Bravo.
11 months later, Luka Doncic is going to win the ROY. 💪
He didn’t anticipate Luka was going to be such a scorer.
Very few did, to be fair.
12 months later, he’s in the MVP conversation.
11 more months later, he's in the MVP convo, he's all NBA 1st team, just had one of the greatest debut playoff series in NBA history, and has made Dallas a real contender for the future.

First off, this video aged very, VERY well. He's now averaging a near 30 pt triple double, 2nd in the MVP race, and the de facto leader of the Mavs. If I were an NBA scout/draft decision-maker, I'd be paying VERY close attention to your scouting reels. Secondly, you make the best basketball content on CZcams and it's a shame you don't have millions of subscribers yet.
"Whatever organization Luka joins will be significantly better on offense next year." Fast forward to 2019-20 season and Mavs had an historic offense. What a take!
This channel about to blow up
Kings or Bulls, Maybe Phoenix
really though
Facts this man knows how to make some videos
Oof you were wrong
this channel is being robbed!
Wonderboy to the mavericks baby!
went back here to prove this guy's analysis was on point. everything he said from the play style, player comparison and the ability change the culture can be seen in luka and the mavericks.
So between him and DSJ there's enough confidence to fill a swimming pool
2 years later, this video couldn’t be any more correct. This is on point of the type player Luka has blossomed in his early career.
The Dime Drop is seriously the most underrated basketball (scouting) channel of all time. People need to wake up, subscribe and/or get this man a job in the NBA for a scouting role. Watched most, if not all, your scouting videos for the 2018 draft and immediately knew Luka was the next "European Lebron" with how you brilliantly presented it. Im actually so gutted this channel hasnt blown up...
With every passing year, this video ages perfectly.
Watching this a year later almost everything turned exactly out as you predicted. Wow!
nostra-dime-us
I'm watching this video now for the first time and man you must have had a crystal ball
Best pre-draft Luka analysis ever... It's crazy to think people were doubting him with what he had just accomplished in Europe
I love the pronunciation of our slavic cities xD... An amazing and a great analysis on one of the biggest talents in the world. Underrated channel, wish you all the best man
Well, after his first season, i must say... ...You are completly right. your analysis of Luka was way ahead of its time back then. I'm honestly stunned how precise you where. first video of you and i'm a big fan allready.
This is quality content and I thank you for that.
I'm just going to point out another great thing you just did in this video. Pronunciation. It's not the easiest name to pronounce and I'm not saying it's a mortal sin if you don't pronounce it 'correctly'. It's appreciated if one just tries.
But for anyone wondering... Yes, this is how Luka Dončić is pronounced. (and the spelling also... Again, this is the correct way, but I'm not expecting this to catch on)
So, thanks for going that little extra effort to get that right.
As a Slovene, I agree. This is to the letter how you pronounce Luka Dončić, period.
Certified hood classic
People tend to say... because he is already so damn skilled his ceiling can't be that much higher. But that was like saying, Stephen Curry out of college is already such a great shooter. How much better can he get? Not saying it will definitely happen, but Luka can get so much better. And he is already the best player in Euroleague. Insane to think about... 19 yo kid damn
If he hits the gym, he could easily become faster and stronger; he'd dominate
That's not what they're saying. People say his ceiling isn't much higher than what he plays now because he's been through the hoops, so to speak (also no pun intended, but it did fit). When most college players get to the NBA, they haven't had any experience playing against the faster, stronger, more athletic, more skilled and better trained competition that you face in the pros, and you learn from that.
Luka has been there though, and he's done that. His game is very close to the his ceiling right now, and pretty much the only thing he can do to improve some more is work on his body, but that also comes with some problems of its own, so the truth is, he's probably very close to his ceiling already, no matter what he does.
@@rg7535 you are not him, you don't know his ceiling. Stop putting labels on things as though you had inside info. You don't. Luka will show what he wants to show. His ceiling is what he decides.
@@andrewkear8000 It's much more likely that other people who are good at observing players and detecting skills and gaps in their game will know what his ceiling is than him. Trust me, I played college ball, and as far as I'm concerned, my ceiling was Steve Nash. Turns out I was wrong.
Very few, if any, scouts or front office people involved in this type of decision making would disagree with me. He's very close to his ceiling right now, and I gave you the main reasons why. If you don't want to believe that, fine, you'll just have to wait a few years to know what we already know.
By the way, suggesting he gets to decide what his ceiling is was hilarious. Might be the dumbest statement I've read online all year, and the competition was really strong.
@@rg7535 👌
Crazy how exactly on point this was. Analysis is clearly not paralysis when it comes to J Kyle the Mann ❤️
Oh my god, you might be the best scout analysis channel on CZcams.
thx for this vid, been waiting on your analysis of doncic
Incredible content yet again. Your videos are without a doubt the highest quality scouting videos I've seen from a production, narration, and structure standpoint. Well done.
That was an awesome video and great scouting! Couldn’t be happier with Luka as a Mavs fan.
coming across this video right now is incredible. speechless at your judgement and work good sir.
I gotta tell you, I am very impressed with your scouting videos. Not only do you break down all of the physical aspects of a potential prospect but you also dare to explore their mental makeup and so far you've been spot on in my opinion. Keep it up and you sure gained a subscription with me a follows on the other social media channels.
Another great video bro. Keep it up💯
Cowbell Kingdom let’s go sactown!
Might go to the Kings or the Bulls
Prophetic in so many aspects. Great analysis.
that Luka will be a culture changer; hyperbolic... ... ...2 years later - right on the money :P
I am following him since he was 13 and I always said he is going to be great player, probably one the best from former Yugoslavia region ever - which is a high stake game if you know the history of our basketball...but that he will be this good his 2nd year in NBA I have never thought...
This video aged incredibly well!
You, Sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. Every single line predicted...
Found a new fav. Awesome job.
Found this channel last night and haven’t looked back, great videos!!

Its nice to see this channel get big foreal over night it seems, i'm a newbie to the channel but these analysis videos are so good and as a basketball player with overseas experience I really enjoy watching them! He has the perfect mix of comedy and stats to make excellent vids keep it up man. I know its so time consuming making videos like this, but man if you did some for stars/role players in the nba strengths and weaknesses I'd be in sports heaven lol!
Doncic is very nice and calm guy, plays video games, dont like party, high intelligence.....wont have problems either on court or outside the court
One day I will be proud to say i was here from the start. Way to go man, great vid!
