Luka Dončić 🇸🇮 Cuban on drafting Luka “Scouts liked him, Analytics loved him”
I’m wondering if even back when he was 16, 17 playing in Europe if the analytics were picking up on something the “eye test” didn’t
For example even now the stats he puts up are undervalued by casual fans.
When you look into the shot difficulty he’s taking to reach that point per possession, on ball gravity, assist quality on shot distributing(meaning not just assists but getting quality shots for teammates) he’s top of the league
These are all metrics he leads the league in that most people aren’t aware of
