Houston Rockets: 5 reasons why the Luka/Harden comparisons must stop

You’ve heard it all about Luka Doncic of the Dallas Mavericks, ranging from how he’s only 20 years old to how he plays nearly identical to Houston Rockets guard James Harden. The age thing gets brought up far too often because Luka has been playing professional ball for Real Madrid ever since the 2014-15 season, dating back to when he was 16 years old.

Despite that, Luka is a generational talent, as evidenced by his 32.28 Player Efficiency Rating this season, which is second to only Giannis Antetokounmpo. Luka is also averaging 30.1 points per game, which is third behind only Harden and Antetokoumpo.
