What a season from @luka7doncic pic.twitter.com/QWNgutxJne
Doncic, who could be the No. 1 overall selection in next month’s NBA Draft following his Euroleague title run with Real Madrid, still hasn’t decided if he’s coming to the NBA.
“I don’t know if these are my last two games in Europe. I am still weighing my options and I will make that decision at the end of the season,” Doncic said in a news conference on Thursday.The Suns, which won the 2018 NBA Draft Lottery on Tuesday, could be interested in the talented Slovenian guard because of his ties with new head coach Igor Kokoskov, who coached Slovenia to the EuroBasket 2017 championship.

Any questions about how Doncic will fare against NBA comp should’ve been answered here:
Reports suggest that Doncic and his advisers will have some say in where he ends up because of the leverage they hold.
The stud guard also possible falling as far as No. 4 to the Memphis Grizzlies or No. 5 to the Dallas Mavericks should the Suns decide to pass on him. The Sacramento Kings, which hold the No. 2 pick, are believed to covet Doncic as well.
What Luka Doncic has accomplished this season at 19 years old is incredible. After going scoreless for 17 minutes in a loss to Fenerbahce in the EuroLeague Final 4 last year, Doncic rebounded in a huge way, playing a big role in leading Real Madrid to an upset win over CSKA. pic.twitter.com/RhPgxCWoNf— Mike Schmitz (@Mike_Schmitz) May 19, 2018
