probably. but not first ballot material due to a short career. his overseas resume could prop him up as a first ballot though.

Absolutely.

He would have been in before he came to the NBA on his euro career alone. It is after all the basketball hall of fame, not the NBA hall of fame.
However, [their equation](https://www.basketball-reference.com/about/hof_prob.html) gives Dončić 82.5% chance of making the HoF with his current NBA accolades (6’7″ height, this year’s scoring championship, peak WS 10.9, five time AS). That’s between Kyle Lowry and Draymond Green among active players. His international achievement should round this considerably upwards.
Looking at [the list of Hall of Famers with fewest games played](https://stathead.com/tiny/dla7S) there is a lot of coaches and some Euros with careers shorter than Dončić’s career thus far. Actually, Hall of Famers Dino Radja (224 games played), Dražen Petrović (290), and Šarūnas Marčiulionis (363) make present Dončić’s Hall of Fame status almost a no-brainer.
On the other hand, Radja and Marčiulionis were international trailblazers and Petro’s career ended in tragedy. So the hypothetical circumstances of the end of Dončić’s career might come into consideration. If he just decided to concentrate on video games and told everyone to screw it, there would still be some complaints?

Clearest yes posible. Since two years at least.
His Euro/international career plus playing in this easy league called NBA for some years is already enough since he’s 22/23.

Everybody gets in the Basketball HOF so yes
Interesting question.
[Basketball-reference](https://www.basketball-reference.com/leaders/hof_prob.html) doesn’t calculate HoF probabilities for players with under 400 games played and Dončić has 394 career regular season games, at this juncture.

He will make it, but he won’t be first ballot.
