Luka Dončić

Even at his controlled pace, Luka Dončić’s IQ and feel for the game guarantees that he’s always one step ahead of nearly any defense in his path. Unguardable in both the pick-and-roll and isolation, Dončić uses both to get an ideal matchup, allowing him to work a quick crossover, drawing a double team in the process. In a one-of-a-kind example of passing precision, the Dallas Mavericks superstar uncorks a pass just behind the head of one defender, and just out of reach of another, right into the hands of his teammate for a clutch 3-point bucket. Orchestrating a thrilling two-point win over the Los Angeles Lakers, Dončić’s final stat line on December 12, 2023 was just as awe-inspiring: 33 points, six rebounds, 17 assists, and three 3-pointers.
