Once again some REALLY cool behind the scenes footage of Luka from the NBA Europe channel. This is a really long video but there's plenty of cool moments.

It's a great article. His offensive repertoire is more diverse, yet he's still got a Usage over 35 and TS% over .585. There are only 5 seasons ever in the B-Reference data base where a player did those two things and had 2,000 minutes. Luka has two of them. He seemingly added the improved mid-range game out of nowhere when earlier in the year his 3's weren't hitting and he was struggling to get to the rim. Here's a little info on the improved 3 point shooting:

Doncic’s 3-point shot

I’ve said before that Doncic regularly hitting 3s might make him the best offensive player in the league. Up to this point in his career, he hasn’t consistently done that. He was a low-30s 3-point shooter when he starred at Real Madrid, and he has been about that since being drafted by Dallas. He hasn’t even been consistent this season. Doncic’s 3-point percentage was below 30 percent the whole year up until Feb. 6, the night of a 7-of-12 showing against Golden State that boosted him to 31.7 percent. That was 10 games ago, and he’s hitting 46.5 percent of his triples ever since. He’s better than the sub-30 percent shooter he was to start the year, although he certainly won’t sustain the mid-40s mark he’s been at lately. The question is where that number will normalize. At his career mark of 33 percent? Or 36 percent, which would represent a notable uptick? Or will he hover around 40 percent the rest of the season, which would make him almost unguardable? We can’t know that now.

One critical development has been Doncic’s ability to shoot easier looks; in his past 10 games, he’s taking almost two catch-and-shoot 3s per game and hitting 40 percent of them.
