1. Luka Doncic gives Dallas Mavericks all-time 5 versatility

Doncic provides a versatility that few players in Mavericks history can match. He is Dallas’ unquestioned lead ball-handler and playmaker. Having multiple creators on the floor would be a must for all-time starting five. Few are better than Luka Doncic.

His ability to guard multiple positions would be key. Luka can defend one through four. He has done it this season. Guys like Derek Harper and Jason Terry will not be switching onto forwards.

Doncic can also score at all three levels. His floor spacing would be another key to defeating all-time great teams. Fans looking for why his 3-point percentage does not tell the whole story can read about it here. Playing Luka off the ball as a spot up shooter should not be a worry.

Luka Doncic has proven he is special in his two NBA seasons. None of this has mentioned his potential or future. Wonder Boy could be the league’s best player in a few seasons. He may go down as an all-time great, maybe even the greatest Mavericks ever. Yes, it has not been a long career yet. What fans have seen is one of the five best Mavs of all-time, though.
