Luka Dončić did not attend college in the United States or Slovenia. Instead, he took a different path typical for many European basketball players by joining the youth academy of Real Madrid in Spain at age 13 and making his professional debut with their senior team at 16. He developed his skills in the European professional system rather than playing college basketball
. When asked hypothetically which college he would have attended if he had played college basketball in the U.S., Dončić mentioned the University of Arizona, but this was only a hypothetical scenario since he never actually played college basketball there or anywhere else
. In summary, Luka Doncic went straight from youth and professional basketball in Europe to the NBA without attending college.
