Kia MVP Ladder: Dončić jumps to No. 2
Kia MVP Ladder: Scoring barrage helps Luka Dončić move to No. 2
Luka Dončić's recent barrage has him rising the ranks as the Kia MVP chase rounds into its final month.

 

he sparks some of the absolute dumbest s*** i've ever heard from the casual media folks.

 

Nico’s friends have tried hard but there’s no saving him from that trade.

 

JJ's current assessment of Luka's defense:

"Redick made it clear that Dončić’s defense has taken a noticeable step forward. “Overall, he’s been a good defender for us,” Redick said.

That statement alone signals a change in perception, but Redick supported it with specifics. He noted that when Dončić is switched onto the ball, he is allowing under 0.9 points per possession. That figure places him among the more effective perimeter defenders on the team.

“When he gets switched on to the ball – I don’t know what the updated numbers are after the last three games – it’s been under 0.9 [points allowed per possession]. It’s been one of the best, if not the best of all our perimeter guys,” Redick added.

The numbers back up the claim. Dončić is allowing around 0.84 points per possession in isolation, while also ranking in the top 10 in steals. He sits in the 95th percentile in shots contested and the 87th percentile in rim contests, reflecting increased activity and engagement.

Reduce also emphasized effort and awareness as key factors.

“He’s been more active with rotations and being physical with our switching groups. With him, it’s to be solid, engaged, do our rules, and he’s smart and can execute that at a high level. When he’s fully on defensively, he can guard the basketball. We’ve seen him do it against everybody in this league. We trust him.”

 

We’ve been looking for 3&D help, when we had 3&D at home this whole time.
