Count Kevin Durant among those who believe the Dallas Mavericks have a franchise piece in Luka Doncic.
The Golden State Warriors star came away impressed by what he saw from Doncic on Saturday night. Doncic led the Mavs with 24 points in their 112-109 victory.
“I like him a lot,” Durant said. “He’s polished. He’s skilled. You can tell that he played professional basketball already and they’ve got a great guy in him to lead this franchise in the future. Him and Dennis Smith play well together.”
Doncic got off to an impressive start, scoring 12 of his 24 points in the first quarter.
