NEW YORK -- Cavaliers general manager Koby Altman rejoined the team in the Big Apple Monday after scouting budding European star Luka Doncic overseas.

Doncic, 18, from Slovenia, is the top player for the Spanish club Real Madrid. He is expected to declare himself eligible for the 2018 NBA draft, in which the Cavs have two first-round picks.

He turns 19 in February and is averaging 14 points and six rebounds in six games.

Altman watched Doncic score 19 points and record six rebounds and six assists in a loss to David Blatt's old team, Maccabi Tel Aviv in Israel, and post 20 points and 10 rebounds Sunday against FC Barcelona.

Doncic is 6-8 and nearly 230 pounds, and is attracting a horde of scouts to each game.

"Luka is mentally sound and is prepared to know that all eyes are on him and that does not change him," Real Madrid coach Pablo Laso told reporters there.""I do not care about the scouts, I understand that everyone asks me about Luka, but I do not, he remains focused despite the fact that there are scouts watching him, he's used to it and he's been dealing with it since he was 13 years old."

The Cavs own their own pick and Brooklyn's No. 1 pick in 2018, which they received as part of the trade for Kyrie Irving.
