Doncic is in his sixth season in the NBA but is already among the top 10 players in the league.

He finished this past season with averages of 33.9 points, 9.2 rebounds, 9.8 assists and 1.4 steals per contest while shooting 48.7% from the field and 38.2% from the three-point range in 70 games.

The Mavs had been coming off a year where they missed the postseason, but they did an excellent job of bouncing back and finishing as the fifth seed in the Western Conference with a 50-32 record.
