Passing

Luka Doncic is an outstanding passer. He often makes amazing reads that showcase just how high his basketball IQ is. During Euroleague play this season, Doncic averaged 4.62 assists and 7.5 per 40 minutes in about 26 minutes a game.

Those current assist numbers during Euroleague play top former NBA players such as Pierre Jackson, Nando De Colo, and Norris Cole.

Above is a clip of Doncic’s incredibly smart and advanced passing vision. Out of this out of bounds set Doncic finds his big man cutting to the hoop. There’s about a one second window for Doncic to squeeze this ball into the big man and he rifles it over with easy and obtains an assist.

Here’s another clip of Doncic attacking a closeout against Barcelona and making a cross court pass into the corner to find former NBA big man Anthony Randolph for a wide open 3-pointer.
