NBA Scout Reacts To Luka Doncic's Skills Before The NBA Draft And What Dallas Saw That Others Didn't

[@gungadin9686]

Luka Dončić last season and he has taken two completely different teams to the Conference Finals in 3 years: • 34/9/10 • 1st in points • 2nd in assists • 73 point game (4th highest ever) • First 33/9/9 season in NBA history • Most 30-PT TD’s since MVP Russ • 1st in 25-point games • 1st in 35-point games • 1st in 40-point games • 1st in 45-point games • 2nd in 3’s made • Top 10 in steals • 61.7% TS • Highest scoring season in Mavs history • Most PPG + RPG + APG since the merger. • Most consecutive 25 point triple-doubles ever • Most consecutive 30 point triple-doubles ever • Lifted Mavs from 11 seed to 5 seed • Most games missed by teammates among all playoff teams • Mavs 50+ wins • Mavs 1st in clutch win% • 6th best record in entire NBA

[@deadlylightningspirit4295]

He made the mavs a 5th seed after having one of the most injured teams in the league

[@Smido83]

Great list... just one addition: Most points created (points scored + points assisted) per game in in NBA history with 58.9 Yes more then Russ ever did in one of his TD seasons, or Wilt in his 50+ PPG season, or anyone else. For me thats one of the most impressive records he set last season.

[@iamchaunceman]

He leads in gravity and most points CREATED By that metric alone he’s the most valuable player in the world

[@BenjiClips614]

Video is so informative that 10 minutes feel like 1.. its so much to tell but Ant does it so effectively in such a short time

[@gungadin9686]

Luka plays good defense. In fact, he had more steals per game than Shai did last year. People who really have played basketball and played it well know it takes a lot for Luka to do what he does on offense. He catches his wind on defense. That is why it appears it is lacking at times, but at the end of the day, Luka's offensive numbers are 3rd in NBA history. That is how good he is.

[@Fifeyz]

Good defense?

[@gungadin9686]

@@Fifeyz Absolutely. Think you could score on him? You couldn't. If he is terrible at defense, how does he average more steals than SGA?

[@cameronbolden5064]

Steals and blocks aren’t a good barameter of defense. Hassan white side use to lead the league in blocks and wasn’t a great defender

[@Fifeyz]

@@gungadin9686 I mean luka can be smart on defense but not much effort. Obviously I can’t score on him

[@gungadin9686]

​@@Fifeyz Again, watch his games. He plays decent defense. And again, the man lead the league in points, was second in assists, and was first in rebounds among guards. Hell, he out rebounds most forwards. And you wonder why he can't play top level defense all the time? Get real with yourself.

[@timothyclay8369]

Great video. Got to see some Luka coverage that I haven't seen before. Well paced and thought out, I subscribed.

[@gungadin9686]

Luka Doncic had 231 more rebounds than any other point guard in the NBA last year. He was second is assists. He led the league in points. So stop making comparisons between defensive players and Luka. NO ONE is doing what he does in a year. No one.

[@iamchaunceman]

100%. Best non big rebounder in the NBA. Best passer, best scorer, but it’s that Magic I can’t explain. He does things nobody else can do and he does it without a 40” vertical and blazing speed. His defensive rebounds are extremely undervalued as that’s part of defense. He’s the best at that part.

[@antgoods87]

Thanks for the sub and watching the content. I really really appreciate for real

[@ThisYB]

I remember watching him overseas and said he be the best player in the draft you can just see the way he slows the game down and make everyone play his game and he just dominates doing that

[@Saintaholik]

You should do a video on Herb Jones defensively. People need to know his name. One of the best defenders ive ever seen

[@Michael-dn9dz]

Great video. As far as redrafting the top 10 1. Luka 2. Shai 3. Brunson 4. Trae 5. Mikal Bridges 6. Miles Bridges 7. Porter Jr 8. Sexton 9. Jackson Jr 10. Allen

[@antgoods87]

I think a lot of people’s top 4 will be the same and then it’ll get tricky. Thanks for sharing!

[@kauffmann101]

There are 5 all star guys in the list

[@adamf224]

DPOY at 9?

[@Smido83]

Grayson Allen? In front of Simons, or Wendell Carter Jr? Ok then...

[@iamchaunceman]

You’re severely underrating JAren Jackson JR here. Defensive player of the year type who showed us last year he can score? I’d rather have him than anyone after Brunson. But the crazy part is that Dallas drafted Luka and JB.

[@greendragonsoldguard9328]

Hej play for Real Madrid from age 16-18. Wien he was 19 he was already in NBA. Good analize for his play.

That black ice analysis is elite, shows difference between elite scouts and average to below average.

Good shit. New Subscriber

[@swhoshing6237]

Luka is an above average defender. If someone doesn't get that he should stick to wather polo or ice skating or perhaps curling. Whole Clippers team literally couldn't score on him when he was guarding them and he reads the opponents game and gets more steals then SGA or Ja and NBA "analysts" consider those two as better defenders than Luka. Some people really need to get their brains checked out.

[@iamchaunceman]

@@swhoshing6237 yeah when he’s hurt ( knee so he can’t get lift ) he focuses his energy on defense. We saw that in round one and two. He has the most gravity and he creates the most points in the league. He can’t also put every ounce into defense. But he can play d. His instincts are elite.

[@iamchaunceman]

@@swhoshing6237 but last year he didn’t have more steals than SGA. Not a big difference, but SGA did lead in that. But defensive rating for point guards, defensive rebounding for any non big, his post defense, his iso defense, steals, and his post strength are all above average to very good.

[@swhoshing6237]

@@iamchaunceman I had playoffs in mind when I said he had more steals then SGA, but over the regular season SGA had more steals then Luka, like you said. But we all know PO is when it matters the most😉

Trae is better than JJJ

[@Bust1n]

@@deadlylightningspirit4295 You know yoy may be right. But to me JJJ is more impactful. I'll take DPOY candidate who can stretch floor. Problem with Trae is he gives up just as much points as he creates. You have to change you're entire defensive game plan to cover for him..

@@antgoods87 Right now, Young is in front overall, cause he was good every year. But the last 3, Brunson was better. WCF as 2nd option, 2 times 2nd round as 1st option. One more All NBA season, as well as a deeper PO run and he is in front of Young.

Luka is way better than Lebron imo. Outside of athleticism, there's no other aspect (shooting, footwork, handles, IQ, just to name a few) in the game of basketball where Bron is better than Luka, and it's not even close.

@@gungadin9686no shits he’s not a pro basketball player. That’s a terrible take dude just cause a guy off the street can’t score on him doesn’t mean in the NBA he isn’t terrible and we had the data to prove it as he had the worst blow by percentages in the playoffs by a large margin

[@deadlylightningspirit4295]

@@cameronbolden5064it’s funny how blow by percentage is never a stat used ever but suddenly everyone is a expert in it about Luka. Completely ignore the fact that the stat doesn’t say what happens after the “blow by” and how it happens. The mavs defense is about funneling to the paint. He does that but it does look like he gets blown by more than he actually does because of that. He have seen him completely shut down star players like ant,PG, an injured Kawhi,shai,harden while also carrying one of the largest offensive loads in history. People except every player to use more energy than physically possible because they don’t understand what it actually takes to play basketball. There’s a reason a lot of the best defensive players an eh on the offensive side.
