Our new lord and savior had a very good 2018-2019 season! Let’s revisit and review.
There’s not much to say that hasn’t already been written or discussed about Luka Doncic but we’ll try anyway — his rookie season somehow exceeded the already large expectations.
He finished with season averages of 21.2 points, 7.8 rebounds and 6 assists per game, elite numbers for anyone, let alone a rookie. Doncic’s shooting slumped hard after the All-Star break but he still finished with a respectable slash line of 42.7/32.7/72.3. It was really the free throws that stood out awkwardly as Doncic had above average efficiency for most of the season until the Mavericks traded four of their five starters and Luka didn’t have much help.
