NBA general managers came together to make their annual season predictions for NBA.com. Amid their prognostications, the GMs chose Mavs guard/forward Luka Doncic as their favorite to win the Rookie of the Year award.

Doncic earned 43 percent of the votes for ROTY in the GMs predictions. Sacramento’s Marvin Bagley III and Chicago’s Wendell Carter Jr. tied for the second-most nods in this category (17 percent), while Suns big man Deandre Ayton came in third with 13 percent of the votes. Last season, Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball garnered 62 percent of the voting in this category.

At just 19 years of age and entering his rookie season, Doncic will be looking to make a name for himself in the NBA. The Atlanta Hawks selected the Slovenian-born baller with the No. 3 overall pick in this year’s draft, but he was immediately traded to Dallas.

Doncic has already established himself overseas, winning a EurLeague championship with Real Madrid. In fact, he was named MVP of the regular season and tournament. Over the course of 33 EuroLeague games played, he racked up averages of 16.0 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.3 assists.

Exactly how Mavs head coach Rick Carlisle will utilize Doncic in the coming season remains to be seen. He’s a great passer, so it should be nice to see him running the pick-and-roll with Dennis Smith Jr. and DeAndre Jordan.

As a No. 3 overall pick, expectations for Doncic are running high. However, he seems to be ready for this next chapter in his professional career.
