Luka Doncic had been considered an ultra-rare talent way before his arrival to the NBA and his ROY-caliber debut season with the Dallas Mavericks.
Comparisons had been drawn with various type players, mainly due to Doncic’s ability to be positionless on the court. When it came to the Slovenian player’s court vision and overall playmaking, Steve Nash was also mentioned.
When asked about Doncic, Nash said that the Mavericks point forward has been “phenomenal” and unique on a historical level, already at 20 years of age.
Per The Sacramento Bee:
“Shew,” Nash said when asked about Doncic. “He’s phenomenal. Just an incredible basketball player. Skill. Ability. Size. Feel. He can do so many things on the basketball court and has such a skill-set that’s so great and versatile.”
Then Nash took his appraisal of 20-year-old Doncic a step further.
“He’s an incredibly unique player, historically, already, at a young age,” he said. “As far as his uniqueness and accuracy and ability to make plays off the dribble with his size? We just don’t see that. Especially at his age.”
