NBA Mock Draft 2018: Early Projections for Top 10 Picks

2. Luka Doncic, SG, Real Madrid


Age: 18 (February 28, 1999)


Size: 6-foot-8, 185 pounds


While many of the other top prospects have been playing against collegiate or--in most cases--high school competition, Doncic has been playing against grown men in the Euroleague--and excelling. Playing the fifth-most minutes for championship-contender Real Madrid, he's averaging 8.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 0.9 steals in 19.5 minutes per contest.

That kind of production for an 18-year-old in the Euroleague is pretty much unprecedented, as the last player to make a similar impact as a teenager was Ricky Rubio in 2007. But even that's probably selling Doncic short, as he looks to have the whole package. He has the size and versatility to play either the 1, 2 or 3 position, he's a creative playmaker, he's a fantastic passer, and he's hitting three-pointers at a 41 percent clip.

You may not hear Doncic's name as much over the next year, but he's right in the thick of the conversation for No. 1 pick. (Getty)
