The stepback three is just one among the spate of moves in the 19-year-old's offensive arsenal. At his tender age, Luka Doncic has displayed the calmness and craftiness of a veteran. He certainly isn't the most athletic on the floor, but his innate basketball intelligence allows him to do whatever he wants.

In an old interview, Luka Doncic acknowledged that he had to beat his foes using his brain since he was always the youngest and had the least experience. This attitude has certainly stuck to him ever since. The Mavs phenom is still very young yet he's schooling veterans on a nightly basis.

This has earned him Rookie of the Month honors for the Western Conference and it's a safe bet to expect more of the same accolade for Doncic.
