DALLAS -- Luka Doncic's performance in his preseason debut provided some glimpses of the unique skill that persuaded the Dallas Mavericks to trade up to draft the European teen star.
Doncic, the No. 3 pick in the draft, scored 16 points on 5-of-7 shooting in 30 minutes during a 116-63 win Saturday night over the Beijing Ducks.
"It was great to be out there," said Doncic, who also grabbed six rebounds and blocked three shots. "It's been a long time since I played a game, so I'm really happy to be here. Always the first game, you're a little bit nervous - new team and everything.
