Few have accomplished what he has. And he’s just 19 years old. Though his age doesn’t fool anyone on the court anymore. With performances that overflow with both talent and maturity, Real Madrid‘s Luka Doncic is a man among men. Or just about, because for Eurohoops, he’s something more than that.
The writers across all of our editions – Greek, English, Turkish, Spanish, Russian, German – voted him as the MVP of the season in the EuroLeague.
With one in two picking him, he won the duel with Panathinaikos‘s Nick Calathes, who got 33% of the vote. The rest of the votes went to CSKA Moscow‘s Sergio Rodriguez (6.7%), Khimki’s Alexey Shved (6.7%) and Zalgiris‘s Kevin Pangos (3.3%).
LUKA DONCIC
Real Madrid | Guard | 1.99 | 28/02/1999 | Slovenia
16.1 points | 4.8 rebounds | 4.4 assists | 1.1 steals | 0.3 blocks | 2.3 turnovers | 25:43 minutes | 21.8 PIR
The situation called for someone to step up. Luka Doncic did so and Real Madrid were all the better for it. The boy wonder of European – and soon, world – basketball led the Spanish team that was full of injuries on the way to the Final Four and his 21.8 points in the EuroLeague’s ranking system don’t just place him first among his teammates, but first in the entire competition.
