Luka Doncic’s NBA debut had more ups than downs

After a long summer full of YouTube highlights and social media shooting session clips, Luka Doncic made his much-anticipated debut in last night’s 121-100 loss to the Phoenix Suns.

The matchup featured two of the top three picks in the 2018 NBA Draft with DeAndre Ayton taking center stage to the tune of 18 points, 10 rebounds and six assists. He looked every bit deserving of the No. 1 pick.

Doncic’s stat line doesn’t look as nice as the Arizona product. The Euroleague superstar scored 10 points on 5-of-16 shooting (including 0-of-5 from deep), eight rebounds and four assists.
