Luka Doncic is one of the league’s most elite offensive players. Luka Doncic has can score at a high level, and the game looks easy on him. A Luka Doncic centered offense is bound to bring good things, and his statistics are otherworldly. Due to his offensive prowess, there have been many times where Doncic has embarrassed a defender and made a highlight reel.

Someone who respects Luka Doncic’s scoring ability is Draymond Green, one of the league’s best defenders. Draymond Green notably won a DPOY award during his peak with the Warriors. Green talks about how it is difficult to force Luka to do what the defense wants out of him.

Luka Doncic has few weaknesses as an offensive player. One could point to his 3PT shooting, but even that’s not really a weakness as he is a willing shooter, and can make them when they matter. Luka Doncic is a genius who can break down any defense, and the game just comes naturally for a player of his caliber. Luka Doncic does a lot for the Mavericks, although it hasn’t shown in the wins column.

The Dallas Mavericks could still turn it around with Luka Doncic leading the way. They were a solid team last season, and they should hopefully get on track soon. For the Mavericks to be at their best, they have to harness all of Luka Doncic’s ability, as he is their present and their future.
