On Friday, February 3, Real Madrid took on Baskonia in a EuroLeague matchup. Real Madrid pulled out a 79-71 victory, with much of credit deservedly going to Luka Dončić. The 17-year-old had 16 points, nine rebounds, six assists, and one play worthy of any highlight reel.
Watch Dončić show off his ball-handling skills and ability to finish in this beautiful drive to the basket.

“Have some of that!!!” It’s a goddamn shame that was only worth two points. The behind the legs move was so smooth, and the touch he had on that high-arcing, scoop layup was masterful. What a magician.
Dončić is a 6’7″ shooting guard/small forward from Slovenia, and he is a lock to play in the NBA. This mock draft currently has him as a lottery pick, going 8th overall to the Minnesota Timberwolves in the 2018 NBA Draft. The mere thought of him teaming up with Ricky Rubio has me weak in the knees.
