Averaging 25.5 PPG, 6.9 RPG, 1.4 BPG, while shooting 56/47/80.
Also Jokic, Murray and MPJ are nearly shooting 50/40/90 COMBINED for the SEASON, , plus Aaron Gordon as a 4th option.
This is what Doncic will have to compete with for the next decade
You realize all these other teams are f******g loaded with young talent, too.
Combos like Embiid/Simmons or Tatum/Brown that are at least level with Luka/Porzingis, but have coaches/GMs with proven FA drawing power, because they have actually won a play-off series in the last decade.
We argue about Devonte Graham.
Dont know if it was the owner or GM that everyone kept referring to as saying MPJ is untouchable...looks like that person was smart.
That guys shooting ability. That guys length and athleticism for 6'10.
I dont think he is as much of a bonehead on defense this year either. He looked lost in the Bubble(also some bad ref calls made him look like a fool but it was bad ref'ing) and looked like he made some stupid fouls. Im assuming if he is not just a complete crippled up stairs that his length and athleticism will turn him into a serviceable if not good defender once the game slows down a bit for him. He's a dagger on offense though.
