What Mavericks fans are seeing from Luka Doncic in the first month of this NBA season is more than anybody could have reasonably expected.
Even more than those who have watched Doncic for a lot longer than people in Dallas could have seen coming.
Maxi Kleber spent three years playing professionally in Europe before joining the Mavericks in 2017. He had a much closer view of Doncic during his formative, teenage years than anybody in Texas, save for perhaps Mavs president of basketball operations Donnie Nelson.
Even with that vantage point, Kleber has to do a double-take when he sees things like what happened Monday night.
