Luka Doncic is looking like the best player in a talented 2018 NBA Draft and may just be the heir apparent to Dirk Nowitzki. Doncic is averaging 18.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game and looks like an all-around excellent player. The Mavericks also have high-flying scorer Dennis Smith Jr. to pair with Doncic in the backcourt. Dallas also drafted Jalen Brunson, who won two National Championship in college and could become an excellent backup point guard for years to come.
