In just his second year in the NBA, many see Dallas Mavericks forward/guard Luka Doncic as a legitimate MVP candidate this season. With a near triple-double average as of this writing, the 20-year-old Slovenian’s numbers have far exceeded those of the two players picked ahead of him in last year’s draft — Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton and Sacramento Kings forward Marvin Bagley III. There also appears to be a reason why the Kings specifically passed on Doncic in favor of Bagley, as a new report suggests.
