It's safe to say any and all doubters have been vanquished, Luka Doncic is the real deal. The Slovenian is probably going to make the Suns and Kings regret passing on him and the Hawks might well be regretting that trade right about now.

Doncic has been pretty consistent this season and is averaging 18.2 Points, 6.5 Rebounds and 4.1 Assists and is the clear frontrunner for Rookie of the Year. His 1eleven 20 Points games lead the class as does that scoring average.

He's also 3rd among Rookies in rebounds per game and is 2nd in assists per game. It's been a pretty well rounded year thus far for Luka and he's come up big in late-game situations as well, most recently with the step back 3s against the Blazers and the Rockets. His Rookie campaign is already being compared with that of some of the greats, and Doncic seems to be set on his path towards greatness.
