Doncic can do it all on the offensive end of the floor. He is the engine of the Mavs. Luka is averaging 28.7 points and 8.7 assists per game this season. His commitment to getting to the rim and finishing allowed him to take another step forward. It has opened up the Mavericks’ offense too. Dallas has the best offensive rating in NBA history thanks to Luka.

Most fans know that Luka played professionally for Real Madrid before coming to the NBA. As a teenager, he led them to a EuroLeague title where Doncic picked up the MVP award. That was one of many feathers in his cap before coming to the Mavericks.

Mavericks fans get excited when Doncic throws one down. It does not happen often, though According to Basketball-Reference, Luka has just 13 dunks this season. He is usually getting crafty to finish around the rim. Despite Doncic poking fun, he can still throw one down when the situation calls for it.
Mavs supporters should be excited to see what Luka Doncic can do in Orlando when play resumes. The 21-year-old started off the season hot. Hopefully, he repeats it in Disney and leads Dallas on a deep playoff run. Regardless, it is going to be a blast to watch his first NBA playoff experience, so make sure you tune in.
