Luka Doncic can't buy a three, but he's quietly reaching a new level within the arc and on defense.
Luka Doncic is shooting 31.1 percent from beyond the arc through 12 appearances with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2025-26. To make matters worse, he's attempting to shoot his way through his slump with an admittedly unreasonable 11.0 three-point field goal attempts per game.
Despite the valid nature of the criticism he's received for his shortcomings as a three-point shooter, Doncic is reaching an entirely new level on defense and within the arc.
