With the #3 pick (!) in the 2018 draft, the Mavs get Luka Doncic

[DevinHarriswillstart]

I mean, most things advanced stats why are highly subjective, but eye test says he is a good defender now. He stays on his man well, helps decently, blocks some shots, reads passing lanes well. Games are long and it's hard to follow every play, but I can't remember him just getting embarrassed on D recently.

And yeah, even Spencer hasn't fallen flat on his face. Size and length are valuable attributes when it comes to D.

Oh I was just observing, same stat that can be used to praise Luka and Brunson could be used to dog Dinwiddie.

Totally agree he looks fine on that end.
