Dallas Mavericks star rookie Luka Doncic continues to make noise around the NBA in his first season with the team.
That didn’t change for the likely Rookie of the Year against Josh Hart and the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday night. Here, we see Doncic go with a step-back move at the top of the key, embarrassing Hart in the process before draining a three-pointer.
Luka, step-back, splash! 👌👌👌#MFFL #NBARooks

That’s just filthy right there. Did we mention that Doncic is just 19 years old and playing in his 39th career regular season game? He might not be old enough to consume adult beverages in the states, but the Slovenian drank some of Hart’s tears.
This represented three of 21 points Doncic scored through the first three quarters of the game. He entered Monday night’s action averaging 19.4 points, 6.7 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game.
