2018 NBA Mock Draft 5.0
If Memphis is commited to making the playoffs next year, Doncic is the perfect find for them. He might not measure up athletically to some of his lottery counterparts, but he has all the skill and basketball intelligence you’d want in a top pick.
Doncic, at just 19 years old, is among the best players in Euroleague, a virtually unheralded feat. He’s playing — and dominating — competition that exceeds anything collegiate players have faced.
At 6-8, Doncic is a crafty ball handler who’s capable of making some Ben Simmons-esque passes while spacing the floor when he’s stationed off the ball. His frame could allow him to switch between three or four positions if needed.
