“He’s in a way better place now, I think, especially mentally. I think you can see on the court. Everybody can see that he’s playing way better,” Doncic claimed.
The Mavericks finished the preseason with a 4-0 record, and the best defensive efficiency rating in the league. Doncic said that he is looking forward to starting the season.
“It’s great,” Doncic said after the Mavericks’ 4-0 preseason. “I think we showed that on the court. I think we’re playing great, sharing the ball. Especially on the defensive end, we’ve been way better, and I think that’s the key for us.”
