I think Luka Dončić, and most of Slovenia, would disagree with that statement.  

Greece would also say they have a certain "Greek Freak" who is quite good. 

 

both of them are really good , but Jokic IMO has many similarities with Dirk Nowitzki , the big man that can score from any point , make assists , dribble well

I like Luka too, he's a generational talent and I have little doubt he will be an all star player, but Jokić is already there. Which is normal, he's older, he played 4 seasons in the league already. In 3 years Luka could be just as good and succesfull, but let's see. 

 

Also, timetable for competition has been released.

Swap Greece and Australia and it's ok to me.
