One of the greatest stretches of play we'll ever see came from Doncic upon coming into the league, reeling off over quite a few years of high level play at the PG position. Will this be enough for him to get into the NBN Hall of Fame?

Arguments For Induction
- The first and most obvious argument is just how good Luka was in the early stages of this league. 26.1/8.7, 28.5/9.2, 30.3/9.5, 26.5/10.1, 27.8/9.5 to start off the league as the player who, frankly, looked like he may be the GOAT at the end of his career. While he fell off earlier than expected, man, what a career Luka has had.
- He did it all. High end defender (2+ stocks in 8 of his seasons) on top of being a masterful offensive player in the first 70% of his career. While the turnovers were a little high early on, he turned the ball over much less as his career progressed, even as an option with volume (21,800 shots).
- It's not often that a two-time MVP doesn't get almost unanimous yes's and I think Luka's going to be hard to vote against. Regardless of the end of the career, the guy ended up at 23/6.6/5.4 for his career on 46% shooting, which would likely put in just about anyone else in terms of production, and then you add on the multiple MVP's, All-Star Games, All-League teams and it makes total sense.
Arguments Against Induction
- The only negatives to his case is how much he declined at the last stages of his career. In his final three years, he was not only an inefficient offensive player, but a pretty low-production player defensively and passing the ball. Luka falling off definitely is a blow to the case.
- For being THAT good, he had such minimal playoff success that, frankly, should be a little alarming. Outside of the league's inaugural year in which he was swept in the Finals, he never made it back, and didn't really win a whole lot outside of that. Most of the other guys who made the Hall of Fame already had pretty fantastic playoff careers.
- As a point guard, Luka's passing was not always up to par. He turned the ball over a ridiculous amount, even to the point where he ended up playing shooting guard for a good chunk of his career from time to time, which is why his APG numbers are so low.
Vote carefully, and remember to throw out arguments regardless of which side you're on. This should be a discussion that eventually gets the league to the proper decision on him. Your vote can also be retracted after it's been cast if you feel like switching to the other side based on the arguments that have been made. To be inducted, a player needs 70% and to be considered in a later class they need 50%. Vote carefully.
***BONUS - Don't forget that everyone who votes gets $100 and the person that makes the best argument or contributes to the discussion the best will be awarded an extra $100***
