#3 Luka Doncic – Dallas Mavericks
There are scorers at the point guard position and there are facilitators. Then there is Luka Doncic, who is elite in both of these categories.
Now a three-time All-Star in his fourth season, Luka Doncic is beginning his campaign for being the best international player in NBA history. Dirk Nowitzki and Hakeem Olajuwon were legends of the game, but Doncic is proving to not just be a top point guard in this league, but an overall top talent.
On the season, Luka Doncic is averaging 27.6 points (6th in NBA), 9.2 rebounds (T-17 in NBA), 8.9 assists (5th in NBA), and is shooting 44.7% from the floor while taking about 21.7 shots per game (1st in NBA). You could make a really strong case for Luka Doncic to be the MVP this season, especially given the way that he has carried the Mavericks to having the fifth-best record in the Western Conference.
Once a potential play-in tournament team, Luka Doncic has turned things on since the start of 2022 to really elevate the Mavericks into being a dark-horse title contender. Since the start of the new year, Doncic ranks 6th in scoring 7th in assists and 6th in total field goals made.

Recording five games with at least 40 points, including a 51-point performance recently, Luka Doncic is an elite-level scorer that is also one of the league’s best overall playmakers.
Once he gets in his groove, there is no stopping Luka Doncic, and given his stature as well, he is a mismatch for smaller, weaker guards in this league. Doncic is only going to get better with time and at 23-years-old, it is scary to think how much better Luka Doncic can get.
