Luka Doncic age: Tracing Dallas Mavericks' teen years which were spent at Real Madrid

Before making his mark in the NBA, Luka Doncic made massive strides in the EuroLeague and Liga ACB, leading his franchise, Real Madrid, to a EuroLeague title and 3 Liga ACB titles.

Doncic's debut for Real Madrid made him the youngest player to do so in the club's history. Doncic played just three games in 2014-15 and averaged just 2.7 minutes per game.

After becoming a regular member of RM's senior team, he saw a significant increase in his minutes in the 2015-16 Liga ACB season, averaging 4.9 points per game on 52.6% shooting from the field and 42.9% from three-point range. That season, he only attempted 3.1 field goals on average.
