Zach LaVine

Zach LaVine has to be the perfect co-star for Luka Doncic. He’d give the Mavericks one of the most dynamic one-two punches in the NBA.

In some ways, Doncic and LaVine couldn’t be more different, and that’s exactly what makes them a good pairing. In today’s NBA, the more ways you can attack opponents, the better chances you have of defeating them.

Doncic is a methodical attacker, and his prodigious court vision justifies his methodology. He breaks down a defense slowly by making perfect reads, typically either finding a good shot for himself or a teammate in the process.

Meanwhile, Zach LaVine uses his superb athleticism to dominate the opposition. He may not have the same floor vision as Luka Doncic, but he doesn’t necessarily need it. If he can’t find a seam in the defense, he creates one by jumping through it.

Together, the two would keep opponents off-balance with their varied, change-of-pace attack. Defending against their combined abilities wouldn’t just be difficult: it would be practically impossible.
