Dallas-Mavs.com Forums - View Single Post - With the #3 pick (!) in the 2018 draft, the Mavs get Luka Doncic

I was really surprised that the Mavs weren't pushing the ball more against the Wizards. Watching the Hawks and Trae putting up 38 I got confirmed that this is what Luka should do. He is a magician in every situation and put up 17 in 10 iso possessions, but these are "hard" points nonetheless. Trae in the meantime put up 38 and 9 effortless because a good chunk came in transition.

Sure Trae is a better pure shooter, but I felt he was getting easier points by simply speeding up the game.
