Luka Dončić & the Prevailing Power of the Pass - Player Breakdown / Scouting Reel 

11 months later, Luka Doncic is going to win the ROY. 💪

A year later and this didn't just age well, I mean you got everything about what he did for himself and the mavericks as a team absolutely and completely right. Bravo.

went back here to prove this guy's analysis was on point. everything he said from the play style, player comparison and the ability change the culture can be seen in luka and the mavericks.

People tend to say... because he is already so damn skilled his ceiling can't be that much higher. But that was like saying, Stephen Curry out of college is already such a great shooter. How much better can he get? Not saying it will definitely happen, but Luka can get so much better. And he is already the best player in Euroleague. Insane to think about... 19 yo kid damn

Its nice to see this channel get big foreal over night it seems, i'm a newbie to the channel but these analysis videos are so good and as a basketball player with overseas experience I really enjoy watching them! He has the perfect mix of comedy and stats to make excellent vids keep it up man. I know its so time consuming making videos like this, but man if you did some for stars/role players in the nba strengths and weaknesses I'd be in sports heaven lol!

i'm a simple guy, i just click when it's the dime drop! my new fave channel

Damn, I just discovered this channel, so underrated, you deserve sooo much subs, love it

You were so right!!!! 👌👌

He'll be a future top 20 player all time, can't wait to see how many teams regret not drafting him

This video aged well no signs of Luka hitting the sophomore slump

In some years from now Doncic and Booker will be the scariest guard duo of nba

Doncic definitely reminds me of Hedo Turkgolu. A Point Forward that can shoot but won't blow you away with his athleticism.

This would be my #1 pick.... He fits todays game to a T!...

wow this video was really good. Got a sub 👍🏾👍🏾

youre channel is amazing bro

wish yall would collaborate with the ringer

Post notifications on.. I'd love to work with you in the future seeing we are in the same niche let me know if you want to do anything

Great video

Yeah he raw 🤧🤧

Great video man

Man you rule!!!

what happened to your trae young marvin bagley vdo

I Like your channel and i feel what You are saying. But People were saying stuff Like this about Mario hezonja . A Great european player who can shoot and pass. And look how hezonja ended up 4th pick and what has he accoplished. Nothing. I hope dončić gets atleast an allstar.

As a suns fan idk who we go with? Ayton or Dončić

6:44 its BOBAN!!!

He's too good now

who's got to courage to draft him?

What are your thoughts on Michael Porter Jr?

here before 10k

This is GUD shit fam

The Suns passing on Doncic is a historic mistake

Lets get a liangelo ball analysis 😂

First off, this video aged very, VERY well. He's now averaging a near 30 pt triple double, 2nd in the MVP race, and the de facto leader of the Mavs. If I were an NBA scout/draft decision-maker, I'd be paying VERY close attention to your scouting reels. Secondly, you make the best basketball content on RU-vid and it's a shame you don't have millions of subscribers yet.

This channel about to blow up

So between him and DSJ there's enough confidence to fill a swimming pool

Wonderboy to the mavericks baby!

Certified hood classic

Another great video bro. Keep it up💯

I love the pronunciation of our slavic cities xD... An amazing and a great analysis on one of the biggest talents in the world. Underrated channel, wish you all the best man

This is quality content and I thank you for that. I'm just going to point out another great thing you just did in this video. Pronunciation. It's not the easiest name to pronounce and I'm not saying it's a mortal sin if you don't pronounce it 'correctly'. It's appreciated if one just tries. But for anyone wondering... Yes, this is how Luka Dončić is pronounced. (and the spelling also... Again, this is the correct way, but I'm not expecting this to catch on) So, thanks for going that little extra effort to get that right.

The Dime Drop is seriously the most underrated basketball (scouting) channel of all time. People need to wake up, subscribe and/or get this man a job in the NBA for a scouting role. Watched most, if not all, your scouting videos for the 2018 draft and immediately knew Luka was the next "European Lebron" with how you brilliantly presented it. Im actually so gutted this channel hasnt blown up...

You're channel is on that Shai Alexander Meteroic Rise lol

Well, after his first season, i must say... ...You are completly right. your analysis of Luka was way ahead of its time back then. I'm honestly stunned how precise you where. first video of you and i'm a big fan allready.

2 years later, this video couldn’t be any more correct. This is on point of the type player Luka has blossomed in his early career.

thx for this vid, been waiting on your analysis of doncic

well let mi tell you this . any euroleague team would beat any college team easy ( talking 20 , 30 , 40 points even ) . luka ? luka is dominating those teams .hes is undisputed mvp in all competitions this year ( except eurobasket , where he was all team , playing against guys like porzingis - 25 points , brothers gasol and rubio - made 23 points and so on ). in last two years he made a huge step forward in all os his skills , so i dont see any problem doing it in years to come . dont forget , he is still developing fizically . some say his slow in lateral movements . a different type of trainigs that luka will get in nba will certainly fix that . put any other draft contender in euroleague basketball , you will see the different playing bball against your age or older guys . so , i dont understand US analysts , comparing luka with guys like miličič , bargnani , rubio . those guys warent even close to whts luka is doing right now , and he can only be better . his ceiling ? only the sky is his ceiling . he will be the steal of the draft im shure ... by the way , great video . greetings from slovenia

I gotta tell you, I am very impressed with your scouting videos. Not only do you break down all of the physical aspects of a potential prospect but you also dare to explore their mental makeup and so far you've been spot on in my opinion. Keep it up and you sure gained a subscription with me a follows on the other social media channels.

Could you make a video about Jaren Jackson Jr? I’d like to see your insight on his potential and how his game translates to the NBA.

White James Harden

I just hope we don't get us another Lonzo Ball (hyped teamplayer-passer) situation right here. Other than that, I too think that Luca is the best pick for a team who needs a ballhandler and a better offensive disposition. By the way: Big ups to my southern neighbours! Slovenia has some badass Basketball players (especially for the size of the country). Greetings from Austria! :)

With every passing year, this video ages perfectly.

Incredible content yet again. Your videos are without a doubt the highest quality scouting videos I've seen from a production, narration, and structure standpoint. Well done.

So nobody still know this instrumental

@TheDimeDrop Wow looking back at this video now, gotta say you were spot on about doncic man

Oh my god, you might be the best scout analysis channel on RU-vid.

Crazy how exactly on point this was. Analysis is clearly not paralysis when it comes to J Kyle the Mann ❤️

Luka+Alton=Thanos

8:37 .. Luka makes Dallas the best offensive team in history of NBA .. talking about "improving" haha

that Luka will be a culture changer; hyperbolic... ... ...2 years later - right on the money :P I am following him since he was 13 and I always said he is going to be great player, probably one the best from former Yugoslavia region ever - which is a high stake game if you know the history of our basketball...but that he will be this good his 2nd year in NBA I have never thought...

really enjoying your content. these videos are going to blow up soon.

Doncic is very nice and calm guy, plays video games, dont like party, high intelligence.....wont have problems either on court or outside the court

He reminds me of James harden

People say he’s not all that athletic but he’s like 19 who’s pretty dang built(especially for the positions he can play) and he seems like he has the speed to make a lot of things happen on offense.....I’m not concerned about his athleticism.....especially since he’s only 19 and has many many years to get stronger and faster

Watching this a year later almost everything turned exactly out as you predicted. Wow!

I had no idea this was a "smaller" channel. Seriously thought I was watching SB nation for a while. Great stuff

So... Captain America Plays Basketball after infinity war.

wonder boy!👦🇸🇮🇸🇮🇸🇮 super video bro!👍👏👏👏 😉💪 nice👏🏆😁 big D O N !!!

He plays... *O V E R S E A S* AHHHHHHH! -Ignorant Basketball Fans

Doncic has a great all around game & really good vision. Defensively I think he will have some trouble on the next level. He has a really good looking shot but I thought his 3PT % would have been higher. The average in the NBA is 33% & you have him at 31% in your video. Really like his fire & competitiveness though. It’s pretty impressive he has won a championship with Real Madrid at the young age of only 18.

Found a new fav. Awesome job.

Also Jesus Christ you were at 1k like 3 days ago wth

I'm watching this video now for the first time and man you must have had a crystal ball Best pre-draft Luka analysis ever... It's crazy to think people were doubting him with what he had just accomplished in Europe

qaulity content - count me as a subscriber

That was an awesome video and great scouting! Couldn’t be happier with Luka as a Mavs fan.

good shit. keep posting about luka

Doncic biggest threat is noting but peoples's expectation. I got the felling most NBA fans are expecting him to be super fast, dominant, dunk-in-yo-face, do amazing things all the time and shoot .80% player which is not going to happen. I'm trying to say, people have really high expectation for him. People must realize, world won't fall apart if he's not ROTY of not even top 4-5 rookie players of the first season. And that's okay. There are so many talented players in this draft. Which is great! I must point out that Luka, in order to get to his full potential, must get drafted by the club who is really going to use him and not draft him because he is talented and then just keep him sidelined or trade after a year. He will need some time to adjust his mindset and lifestyle to NBA. He will have to work on his body and quickness a bit, not too much, but just a bit. Therefore he needs a team which is not going to worry about negative comments if he doesn't start off so well. Basically, Luka needs a team which is going to be patient with him and give him opportunity to work and develop in a great player. I had opportunity to watch him during the full live games (not highlights online- this can be in some cases very misleading), and here is MY opinion. I will try to be as objective as much i can since I'm not a professional scout, but only a great fan of this sport. - He is a very, very nice shooter. Leave him open, he will make a shot. If you need a guy to shot a contested shot for a win, this is a guy on your team who will probably make it...even off the dribble. - He is feeling very confident about his game. This is also explanation to a why should he have a shot for a win. Let's hope he will not change and become too cocky. Cocky is fine, but too cocky too early as proven throughout the history of sports, can be very dangerous. - Very well rounded player. Can run down the court with and without the ball. But I have the feeling he feels most comfortable with the ball in his hand. Like he is a PG, but his body is screaming to everybody he is not a natural PG yet, his vision and passing ability is making him a perfect fit as a guard. I must point out Luka should never be moved to SF position at any point. Yes, he can play SF, but if you want maximum from him, coach should keep him at the guard position. He is not a wow-dribble--look what I'm doing with the ball-trick guy.(Sorry, I'm not sure how to put it down in English in a simple phrase). But he can beat opponent with a few simple dribbles and run by the opponent with a bit of a body strength, and if necessary, step back and shoot. - You won't see him rebounding so much but if the ball is going to fall around him, there are good chances he will grab that ball. - OK defense player. - Now most of the things I mentioned above can be heard and seen online but here I will explain why I said I watched him during live games and not only highlights. His court vision and passes are great. And that what most people call IQ, but to understand how big IQ of a player is, you MUST watch him during the game. This guy, in the final mach of Euro League, was very, very cold at some point of the game. I think it was at the 2nd quarter. So he started shooting and nothing was going in from around (in and behind) the 3. point line. Unlike many other players who are being in the spot light and "all eyes on me" situations, (here I would like to include both young and older players), he decided to slow it down and calmed himself. Instead of forcing it in order to prove the whole world he is the next big thing, he decided...to share the ball. And this is an amazing skill not all players have. This is what makes him a potential star. To see what you are doing wrong and start doing someting else. He didn't attempt to make a shot for a good portion of 2nd and 3rd. quarter as far as I can remember till he felt comfortable. And then it started going in when it needed most. I mean. You have to admit. It is hard to control yourself in those kinda situations. People usually force it because they think the next shot is going to get in and set them on fire, but not this guy. - This young yet so experienced. He played in so many big games already (Big for Europe standards). Is he going to be first pick? By the logic- No. Suns really need someone under the basket. Their pick should be Ayton, as expected. Is he going to be second. Well, yes and no. Vlade Divac knows him very well. He probably had opportunity to watch him and speak with him and Luka's father so many times by now. Problems in my opinion is- I just can't find his position in SAC if we want Fox, Bogdanovic and Buddy Hield at the same time on the court or starting 5. He and Bogdanovic are in some way similar. Fox is the guy who I think want's to have the ball in his hands (regardless of what he says in the media). I think everybody at the the Kings are aware of that and they are ether looking for a way to make this possible or just go with safe pick. But what is a safe pick for SAC? Marvin Bagley? Maybe, but I didn't forgot about Harry Giles who had all the time in the world to recover and work on himself during this session. Let's not forget Simmons and Griffin were in the same situation and they turned out to be great players. No matter what they do, I'm having the feeling SAC will regret anyway. Vlade should be worried but I wish him lots of good luck! Is he going to be third? Possible. This is the conlusion: This year draft prospects are amazing. We are in position to grab a bag of popcorn and watch the history happens before our eyes. I believe there are few future hall of famers in this draft. Luka could be one of them. He and few other players will make other teams regret for not picking them when they had their opportunity. The Dime Drop, you are 100k sub in < 2 months. P.S. I'd like to apologize for a veeeeeeeey long post!

Please do Michael Porter Jr. although I do realize there is very limited recent film to work with

Just sayin...you are one of few Americans that pronounce his last name "on point". Great clip.

You, Sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. Every single line predicted...

Damn it’s gonna be a shame when PHX passes on him for Ayton. Doncic will literally bring out the best in Booker, Jackson, Chriss and Bender. Ayton will give them 20-10, but it’s not helping others, kinda like Boogie in Sacramento

Great vid. Trust the prophecy, he's going to make the Kings fun.

He kinda reminds me of wbat Lonzo was supposed to be right out of college, not a very explosive athlete but athletic enough. Hes got great IQ and vision along with accuracy in passing. Hes good at threes but its easy to see he gets so much attention from defenses so when he makes the NBA players will give him less attention and he will get better. Being 6' 8 and strong as hell he can be a pretty good switchy defender

Once again brother you hit the nail right on the head. I’ve watched a ton of his tape & his only flaw, if you even want to call it that is his perimeter shooting. The way he scores, especially off of p&r reminds me of fultz last year. & his court vision is almost at Ben Simmons level, minus the flash. Whether he goes 1 or 2 he’ll flourish imo

Prophetic in so many aspects. Great analysis.

As a mavs fan, i've watched this video for 5 times. It really make me exciting for the upcoming season, especially when you got a hard roller named Deandre Jordan to play p&r with luka !? That will be so much fun. Again, appreciate this video, amazing work!!

Lionel Messi of basketball. Just better. In the end he won’t be compared to nobody. Every body else will be compared to him.

coming across this video right now is incredible. speechless at your judgement and work good sir.

The king's will have an amazing back court with fox and doncic

great video and analysis. aged very well!

man your content is so good. keep it up👏👏

Those fools in Suns, Kings and Hawks Office should hire you for scouting.

This channel is so dope, I get some really in-depth analysis and it’s as entertaining as ever, you definitely have a new sub here 💪🏽

DOPE, this is a pre-nba breakdown but so far lukas game translated exactly how you assumed in your breakdown.hes got a edge on alot of the younger guys when it comes to his vision,a master of the fundamentals leading by example, and just that dog mentality...YOU SHOULD DO A UPDATE AND BREAKDOWN LUKAS ROOKIE CAMPAIGN SO FAR......also first time on your channel bruh but it dopppeeee(i def. subscribed)

I honestly just found this channel and I love this channel !!!!
