Slovenian prospect Luka Doncic could potentially be the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft, and says his positional versatility compares favorably to Philadelphia 76ers star rookie Ben Simmons.
In a wonderful in-depth story by ESPN’s Mina Kimes, Doncic said, “I think we are, like, similar, you know? [Simmons] can play point guard, he can play forward.”
Doncic says his favorite players are LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Kyrie Irving, but he’s enjoyed watching Simmons the most.
“I think we are, like, similar, you know?” he says. “He can play point guard, he can play forward. He can play a lot of stuff, like LeBron.”Doncic has been hailed Europe’s best prospect since 2006.
