Don't sleep on Kevin Durant's MVP potential, plus other players to bet

After another sterling "offseason" of entertainment, the NBA season tips off in 11 days. With a never-ending barrage of storylines to consume -- and wagers to be made -- we wanted to take another peek at what has us most excited. After taking on teams in our last installment, this time we'll concentrate on the player side of the equation:

Luka Doncic wins Rookie of the Year (5-2)

If Knox doesn't win Rookie of the Year, it could well be because of Doncic, another offensively advanced teenager whom Dallas shrewdly acquired on draft night from Atlanta. Doncic amassed 90 games in the ACB League (second only to the NBA) last season, displaying his capacity to dribble, pass and shoot -- and maturity well beyond his years -- that will separate him from other rookies. At age 19, Doncic was the youngest player to ever win EuroLeague MVP. He's the most accomplished European to ever enter the NBA, including the likes of Dirk Nowitzki, Tony Parker, Pau Gasol and Drazen Petrovic.

What's more, Dallas should be improved all-around. Doncic's stable of tricks in the pick-and-roll will pay dividends with newly acquired dive master DeAndre Jordan, whose best days were with Chris Paul delivering pinpoint lobs. Doncic may not be CP3 yet, but he's no slouch either. Whether he emerges as a fully formed product in Year 1 or not, it won't be long until we all realize Doncic is the best player from this draft.
