Prospect Luka Doncic wins Spanish ACB title, expected to attend NBA Draft

The most divisive of the top 2018 prospects will be in the green room Thursday for the NBA Draft.

Slovenian 19-year-old Luka Doncic and Real Madrid won the Spanish ACB league’s championship Tuesday with a 96-85 victory over a Baskonia to take the title series, 3-1.

Doncic finished with eight points, eight rebounds and two assists but finished strong with a one-legged three-pointer with 2:40 left that gave Real Madrid a six-point lead.

The win allows Doncic to attend the draft at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. If the series was extended to a Game 5, he would have played on Friday.

The point-forward is expected to be a top-five pick in the draft and was considered by some as the top overall prospect alongside Arizona center Deandre Ayton.

Doncic led Real Madrid to a EuroLeague title earlier this summer and won the MVP award in the process. He closes his 2017-18 season averaging 14.5 points, 5.2 rebound sand 4.6 assists per game.
