Dallas Mavericks: Handing Luka Doncic the keys of the franchise

I don’t think there’s any question that the future of the Dallas Mavericks will feature a good amount of Luka Doncic. He’s been great during his rookie season, and has arguably already wrapped up the NBA’s Rookie of the Year award.

In his inaugural NBA season, Doncic is averaging 19 points, five assists and seven rebounds per game. He’s also shooting 43 percent from the field and 35 percent from 3-point range, including a number of big-time moments already in his young career.

The Mavericks need to make Doncic the centerpiece of the franchise, and cater to his every need. From here on out, the team should be building around Doncic.
