Carlisle says Doncic is ‘a phenomenal player, he’s getting better really by the hour, by the day’

Dallas Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle  comments another incredible performance by Luka Doncic, who had 36 points, 14 rebounds and 19 assists in the OT Win over the Milwaukee Bucks.

This guy is a phenomenal player and he’s getting better really by the hour, by the day. The efficiency numbers against these two past teams (the Los Angeles Clippers and Bucks) are really remarkable. Both teams will turn you over, both teams have guys that will deflect and get their hands on a lot of balls, but I was most impressed with his leadership throughout the game.

“He kept a real calm demeanor, he kept guys playing during some tough stretches. His conversations with the officials were short and to the point, and the officials listened and we moved on. The leadership aspect of it is really the big picture. It’s just as big as these ridiculous statistics that he’s putting up.”

The slovenian star is averaging 33.4 points, 11.6 rebounds and 11.6 assist over the 5 games played in the Orlando Bubble.
