Luka Doncic Transformed Himself From Hype to Phenom as SI’s Breakout of the Year
It didn’t take long for Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic to assert himself as one of the NBA’s best players. After the Slovenian star took home the NBA Rookie of the Year a season ago, Cool Hand Luka is putting up Oscar Robertson-like numbers this season. Through 23 games, he’s averaging 30 points, 9.8 rebounds and 9.2 assists per game. The 20-year-old already holds the NBA record for the most triple-doubles by a player before his 21st birthday.
