I've seen Luka Doncic play since he was a little child (he arrived to Real Madrid when we was 12 years old). Every year he improves something. Two years ago, he added tha step back and shoot to his game. Last year, he improved post movements. This years he has improved shoot % and range. Luka Doncic is something that I've never seen in my live. As the good wine, he improves something every year. Has he any roof? I think not!!!! He has the abillity to make statistics. I said that one year ago in other forum where people of your country said to me:"Doncic is overrated" "Doncic will crash on the NBA" "Donic hasn't athletic skills". Bull shit!!!! He has the most important things in the basketball. IQ and cluntch.
Luka is 43% FG. Is very good. But only 36,4% 3pt. Ok, it ins't enought for a NBA star. But, look, the 50% of his 3 points shoots are after step back, clunch mode or difficult positions. If I check players who shoot in similar situations, we'll see Curry with 45,8 % (crazy) and Harden with 37,6%. It means that Doncic 3 range is not bad. And I'm sure he will improve it and his FT percentage next years.
I suppose that you realize that Doncic is already the Dallas Maveriks MVP. So, it's mandatory to create a team around him. What does he need?
He's a playmaker. He needs ball at 3/4 and decides the game. But, he can not defende small and fast point guards. He needs a point guard very good on defence side and with a good shoot range. Also, he needs a small forward very good on the two sides (defence and attack). I think that Barnes is the perfect SF for Luka but DSJ...I think that he's a problem. DSJ is not a good defender. He hasn't shoot range. He hasn't IQ and he needs ball to make stats. Is it possible a trade? In spain we're listening news about potential trades. What do you think?
The paint. Luka needs a PF with shoot range. A Dirk 30 years old would be perfect but he's 40. Anyone more? I think that Dallas need a FA next season. Center. I think that Jordan is a great center, but he doesn't understand the game. He hasn't shoot range to be dangerous at 4-5 meters of the ring. That is a big problem. Why? Because one of the best Doncic's weapons is his pick&roll and pick&pop read (to pass, shoot or attack the ring). When Joran&Luka do a pick&pop, the other center dive to the ring to protect it because Jordan is not dangerous at 4-5 meters. Could be Cousin healthy a possibility?
Ok, guys, I'll be glad to read your answers.
Best Regards,

Cousins will want the bank, but he can fit next to Doncic as he is dangerous any where on the floor in the 2 man game. Brook Lopez is a another guy who has range to the stripe, he's also a free agent.
As for guards, Klay Thompson would be the ultimate 2 guard next to Doncic as he could defend man to man down to 1's. Offensively he understands how to use screens, curl, catch and decide what to do. Oladipo is another guy who can team up with Doncic in the back court as a man to man defender as well as someone who can move and play without the ball.
Kevin Love is probably the 4 that fits with Doncic as the spot up shooter.
