I get that it’s a Chinese team but apparently he made very flashy plays

The 6-foot-7 Doncic made a few dazzling plays off the dribble, something the Mavs are expecting on a consistent basis as he serves as one of their primary ball handlers despite playing mainly power forward.

His first bucket was a layup after he grabbed a rebound and went coast to coast. His first assist also came after pushing the ball in transition before feeding trailer Maxi Kleber for an open 3.

Doncic's most memorable play of the night was a running, one-legged bank shot off after going behind his back on a drive

The teams that passed on him in the draft are going to be kicking themselves for the next 15 years.

I like his jersey number. Original

His passing and handles are great. A little jealous we didn’t have a chance to get him. I’m certain Ainge would have got him by trading down.

Yeah, Hawks are going to be ruing this trade for a long long time.

I know we're absolutely spoilt rotten in Boston with the youngsters we have, but man what I would have given to see him in green

That finish high off the glass over a much bigger guy was awesome

My dude. Ready to take Deyonta's Inferno to the next level.

This kid is amazing. I hate to say it but he has a little Bird in his game.

was thinking the same thing here. The crafty plays for his size are hard to not see at least a little bird in his  play style

He impresses whenever he plays.

He did similar stuff in the Euroleague against quite better teams.

[coco]

Better handles and possibly better court vision than Tatum.

He is a keeper.  Atlanta got taken...

Yeah, it's too bad we haven't seen him against an NBA team yet. I'll be watching him closely this year

[Celtics4ever]

Guys who can no longer play in the NBA do quite in China, well it is better to look good than bad.   I would wait until we see him against NBA guys, he is a huge talent.

Possibly? We haven’t seen it in an NBA game yet, but I’m pretty comfortable giving him the edge there.

What will Trae Young have to do to overcome that?  Quite a lot, maybe a Steph Curry imitation.

Hard to take anything from the Chinese league seriously, Jared Sullinger averaged 30/16 over there last year
