A few weeks after winning the EuroBasket, Real Madrid’s boy wonder continues to impress on the courts of the EuroLeague as well, where he reached a PIR of 41 against Armani Milan.
In this way, Doncic made history, as he became the youngest player to exceed the very high limit of a 40 PIR, leaving behind Nikola Pekovic and others.
Who are the 5 youngest players who have achieved this? Eurohoops looked into it and presents here a list of names that showed their talent right off the bat and had at least one… outrageously good performance at a very young age.
Luka Doncic (Real Madrid)
Date of birth: 28 February 1999
PIR: 41
Game: Real – Milan (24 October 2017)
Real Madrid’s win over Armani Milan has already been forgotten, but Luka Doncic’s unique feat will be remembered for many years to come, perhaps even forever. The Whites’ guard is in amazing form and against the Italians he finished the game with 27 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals, drew 10 fouls and earned a PIR of 41.
In this way and at the age of 18 years and about 8 months, Doncic climbed to the top of the list with the youngest players to tally a 40+ rating in their stats.
