Mentioned in this video
Luka Doncic is one of the most decorated, NBA-ready teenagers to ever enter the NBA Draft, and yet multiple teams convinced themselves he wasn't worth a top pick. To understand why (and why the Dallas Mavericks DID pick him), you need to trace the prior history of foreign prospects in the NBA Draft. It got a little weird for a bit.
