Luka Doncic’s College Conundrum: Will the NBA Sensation Choose the University of Arizona
NBA All-Star guard Luka Doncic began his professional basketball career in Europe as a teenager and joined the NBA without going to college.
Many NBA stars play at least one year in college before entering the NBA, but if Doncic were to go to college, which school would be the best fit?
Jordan Brand family members Doncic, Zion Williamson, Jayson Tatum and Paolo Bankero reportedly responded to the question with the following:clutchpoints.comreports.
Luka Doncic
It’s Arizona.
I hear it’s a good place.
Zion Williamson
USC, Texas A&M, or University of Florida.
Gonzaga University?
I don’t think so.
Paolo Banchero
Duke is a good fit for him.
He was one of Coach K’s favorite players.
I remember him recruiting me during the bubble.
I got a call from Coach K and he was like, ‘Have you seen Luka Doncic? You have to see Luka. You have to be like him.’
Jayson Tatum
He’s on a Western Conference team.
So I think a university like Arizona.
The University of Arizona is a prestigious school that has produced many NBA players.
Doncic will never play in an Arizona uniform, but a student with Doncic’s style might want to consider Arizona as an option.
Current NBA players who graduated from the University of Arizona include Deandre Ayton, who was selected by the Phoenix Suns with the first pick in the NBA draft the same year as Doncic, as well as Josh Green, Zeke Nnagy, Aaron Gordon, Lauri Markkanen, Benedict Maslin, and TJ McConnell.
