Luka Doncic was the third overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft by the Atlanta Hawks. He wasn’t with the franchise very long, as they traded him to the Dallas Mavericks for the pick that was Trae Young and future selection that turned into Cam Reddish.

While the Hawks are likely happy with how things have gone with Young as their point guard, there has to be some within the organization wondering how things would be going had they kept Doncic. While Young has his strengths, he isn’t yet near the level of Doncic, who has ascended into true superstardom in only his fourth season in the league.

Doncic has taken over the mantle of the Dallas Mavericks face of the franchise, looking to continue what Dirk Nowitzki had begun before him. It is hard enough to become a superstar, but when you are an international player, there are some added challenges along the way.
