2018 NBA Draft Player Profile: Luka Doncic

Weaknesses

Refined Handle  

Even though I just showed clips of Luka Doncic breaking ankles, his handle still needs to be tightened up. There are far too many times when he gets pick pocketed by low quality defensive players.

Here he is getting the ball ripped away from him by a Valencia defender Alberto Albade. Doncic is trying to go for his favorite between the legs dribble move which he usually does through both legs and then gears up for a step back. Albade saw this coming and was able to poke the ball loose from Doncic.

There is another clip against Barcelona where Doncic is pushing the ball in transition after a rebound. He waits just a little too long to set up his behind the back move and gets the ball stolen from him by Thomas Huertel.
