1.) Luka Doncic, Real Madrid

Sometimes, international kids put on some YouTube highlight reels overseas and become a little overrated. But sometimes, the hype is completely real.

Luka Doncic is the real deal.

At just 18 years old, the 6’8″ Doncic is logging almost 20 minutes a game on one of the biggest European teams (Real Madrid) in arguably the best league outside of the NBA.

In the Euroleague, Doncic shot 37% from three, 50% from two and 84% from the free throw line. He can simply do it all on the basketball court and he is still just 18 years old. He will have the choice to declare for the draft in 2018 where he could be the top overall choice.

For Dallas, this would be their next international sensation as he would fit in alongside of Barnes in the front court.
