Now the NBA is becoming more and more serious, the era of Zhan Duku has passed, the playoffs are now, Lao Zhan was swept by the Nuggets gentlemen, Durant was shaved by Edward, and Curry didn't even enter the playoffs, which is enough to show the current situation of the NBA league.
When it comes to the young people who are strong in the NBA at this stage, you may think of Edwards, you will also think of Tatum, to I think Doncic is a player in the NBA today with very impressive statistics, he is a Slovenian genius, he is also the savior of the Mavericks, he seems to be about to usher in the peak of his career, let's talk about Donci as a player.
Just looking at Doncic's data, he has surpassed James in the Cavaliers 1.0 period, he can average 33.9 points + 9.8 assists + 9.2 rebounds + 1.4 steals per game this season, which is very good-looking, with a shooting rate of 48.7% and an average of 4.1 three-pointers per game. Especially in the regular season, he once scored 73 points in a single game and 50 points in a single game. From the perspective of the regular season, except for Jokic, no one dares to say that he is stable against Doncic, even Alexander, Antetokounmpo, Embiid, and other stars who have performed very well in the regular season. However, in this year's playoffs, Doncic's performance was indeed relatively unremarkable, and it can even be described as "inefficient". Let's take a look at his playoff performance.
Doncic averaged 26.7 points + 9.6 rebounds + 8.8 assists + 1.5 steals per game in the playoffs, shooting just 39.9% from the field, 2.5 three-pointers per game, 26% from three-point range, and 3.5 turnovers per game. It can be seen that Doncic's data has dropped significantly compared to 17 in the regular season. Doncic's three-point shooting in the playoffs is very unstable, the mid-range jumper shooting rate is okay, and the throwing near the free throw line is also accurate, but the shooting rate is not high when he hits the inside, which is also because of the Thunder's strong ability to protect the basket. As an offensive powerhouse, Doncic lacks in cracking the bag, which is the biggest gap between him and Joo. Fortunately, there is Irving, otherwise it would be difficult for the Mavericks to play the Clippers.
Defensively, we have to commend Doncic for improving his defense in the playoffs this year. Doncic's defensive enthusiasm has improved, no longer letting teammates wipe his ass, his single defense effect is very good, he is good at using physical confrontation, and his sense of defensive judgment is also good, he can accurately judge the opponent's passing route, and after interception, it is a fast break counterattack. Doncic's ability to protect rebounds is also very strong, his rebounding awareness is so good, and he is also good at positioning, so much so that he can grab 9.6 rebounds. In the first round of the series G2, the opponent of the Clippers faced Doncic's defense only 2 of 17, and at the last moment, the Clippers' Big Three faced the defense of the East and West Seven more frequently, which shows that the defense of East 77 is really strong. Overall, though, it's true that his performance wasn't as good as in the regular season, which is an indisputable fact.
So is Doncic likely to win a championship this season? My answer is no. In the West, whether it is the Timberwolves or the Nuggets, the Mavericks can't beat it, because the Nuggets have a stronger Jokic than him, and Gordon is also very effective in defending Doncic, which has been shown during the regular season. The Timberwolves' defensive resources are countless, McDaniels is locked in the outside county, Gobert is interfering on the inside, and Doncic will play hard.
Not only is it difficult to win the championship this season, but the difference between Doncic and the championship in the future is also very large. This is mainly because of his style of play with a big core with the ball, and only Owen can adapt to it, and other stars can't do it at all. Doncic is a good match for some role players, he can make players like PG Washington better, but he can also make star teammates more inferior, all in all, I'm not particularly optimistic about Doncic's prospects, he's not as good as Edwards of the Timberwolves right now.
