Luka Doncic to Mavericks

Road games in the NBA are all about the execution and the team mentality. Winning them consistently is a sign of a really good team. It doesn't surprise me that Dallas is struggling on the road. Two of their most important players, Doncic and Jordan, are new to the team, so naturally they won't have great execution yet.

 

But they have the best bench in NBA and lots of veterans...one would think they could be better on road than only two wins so far.

 

It's a bit long, but it has bits from Rockets game. Luka's offensive game broken down by a guy who spent 7 years on different NBA coaching staffs.

 

Another good breakdown of Doncic's game. This time it's shorter and sweeter. My god Luka is all over the youtube, reddit and twitter. I guess he is popular with media posters because he generates lots of clicks

 

Some posts on that thread did not age well, guys

 

So he will overtake Gogi Dragic. Time to change the Avatar!

 

He gave it to us, he’s a legit player

But people shouldn’t root for the Mavericks
If they are real rockets fans

 

I can’t belive the Mavs are going straight from Dirk to Doncic

 

Don't know why he wasn't the no 1 pick. He won an MVP in grown mans league at 19.

 

You'd think the people that are getting paid the big bucks to recognize talent would be good at their job...

 

luka is playing like a big baller!

 

This kid is damn good. He stole Curry's stepback three .

 

I wonder which ones

 

I hate you Atlanta.

 

The next Dirk

 

He will be better than Dirk. Plus this comparison is whack, Dirk wasn't a ball handler .

 

I really wish he wasn't drafted by the Mavericks. I'd feel less guilty buying his jersey .

 

Dirk is an MVP, a Finals MVP, an NBA champion, a 13x All-Star and a TOP10 scorer in the NBA history... I don't know how you can be so sure that Luka will surpass Dirk. Let's see if he can surpass Harden first before he takes on Dirk.

 

I don't know about Dirk...a really tall order. Luka is all about highlight plays, while Dirk's modus operandi was consistency.
Maybe Luka switches to consistency in a few years. Right now though, he is content to be a human highlight reel and the clutchest player in NBA. Not that that's anything wrong with that of course

 

I wouldn't say that Luka is all about highlights. For a rookie he's been very consistent. And he shares one very important quality with Dirk - they're both very clutch and aren't afraid of the moment.
