NBA Players: Top 5 duos aged 24 and under

#1 Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis (Dallas Mavericks)

Porzingis and Doncic could combine to create a fearsome duo in Dallas over the coming years

Career stats:

Luka Doncic: 21.2 points, 7.8 rebounds and 6 assists per game

Kristaps Porzingis: 17.8 points, 7.1 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game

While Dallas fans may seem slightly disappointed by their lacklustre free agency period, the Mavericks front office made the most important deal: signing Kristaps Porzingis to a five-year max contract deal this summer.

The duo of Doncic and Porzingis has the potential to headline the NBA for the next decade and are a perfect fit for one another going forward in the league. The pair already have an off-the-court relationship, after Kristaps endorsed Doncic two years prior before the draft having watched Luka dominate the EuroLeague as a teenager.

Porzingis is yet to play with an elite guard in his short NBA career to date so with Doncic, a pick-and-roll between these two has the potential to be impossible to guard. They will get constant mismatches and with Doncic being the league's second-best step back shooter behind James Harden, as soon as they go to double Porzingis will be ready to pop out to the three or slash to the basket.

At 23-years-old, Kristaps has already been an All-Star once before tearing his ACL in January 2018 which derailed his year. Doncic narrowly missed out on an All-Star berth during an impressive rookie year and injuries aside, there should be nothing to stop these two from being an dominant force in future.
