included Luka earning his fifth straight All-NBA Team selection. The group also discussed his supporting cast, as they explained how the group played a role in his team’s advance deep in the playoffs.
One of Doncic’s supporting members made it onto the list. Kyrie Irving was ranked just outside the top 10, as he came in at number 11. This was a ranking some fans might have a problem with. While it’s safe to say Irving isn’t the same player from years ago, it’s hard to argue against him. The two players listed above Irving failed to make the playoffs this past season, while some couldn’t even make it past the first round.
In simple terms, the ranking got half of the list right, as Doncic got his flowers, while Irving was given little credit.
If anything, the latest rankings should serve as motivation for Doncic and Irving. It should give Luka the motive to showcase why he is the top point guard in the league, especially over players like Gilgeous-Alexander. As for Irving, it should elevate his game to continue proving doubters wrong.
Mavs fans can only hope this ranking comes to life for Doncic, as the 25-year old can only get better.
Stay tuned for the latest on Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks this offseason.
