Quick take: What Luka’s MVP finish means

It was 354 days ago that Luka Donu010diu0107 stood at the podium on media day and said he’d love to lead the NBA in assists during his second season in the league.

Due time continues to come in a hurry for the Mavericks’ second-year point guard.

Donu010diu0107 didn’t win the assist title this season, but he did average 8.8 helpers per game, good enough for third in the league behind LeBron James and Trae Young.

The 6-7 Slovenian’s numbers – add on 28.8 points and 9.
