Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic earned the honor of being named the “best prospect he ever saw” by Mike Schmitz. Find out more here.

The Dallas Mavericks knew Luka Doncic was special all the way back in 2015. He was just 16 years old and already facing NBA competition as Real Madrid came to the U.S. to face two NBA teams in preseason action. Doncic earned a few minutes. His talent was evident.

The Mavs believed he could be special. It was right in front of every GM in the NBA. Luka was winning MVP awards while leading his teams to championships. It was not just Real Madrid either. Doncic and Goran Dragic willed Slovenia to a EuroBasket title in 2017. He was defeating NBA players before he was draft eligible.

Doncic is arguably the most accomplished prospect to ever enter the draft. There is a reason he earned the nickname Wonder Boy. Luka was barely a teenager when he became a professional. He remains truly special on the basketball court.
