Dallas Mavericks rookie Luka Doncic ripped his jersey across his chest after missing a 3-point attempt at the buzzer. The Mavs phenom was extremely angry that he wasn't able to hit the shot and couldn't seem to get a grip on his emotions.

Doncic is a very emotional guy. He's only 19 years of age, and sometimes rookies just let their emotions get the best of them. Plus, his play as a rookie has proven that someone with his talent has the excuse of being angry with himself at times.

Luka Doncic came into the league with a lot of question marks. Would his lack of athleticism allow him to match up against NBA competition? Is his professional experience overseas enough of a basketball education to allow him to succeed? Is he just another overhyped overseas product?

The Mavs swingman came into the league with a chip on his shoulder and has shown out. He's one of the leagues best point forwards despite his young age. He has an amazing vision as the primary ball-handler, like that of a point guard. His stepback jumper is straight out of James Harden's book. He can finish at the rim with ease and with touch. Doncic is going to be one of the league's best players for years to come.

Luka Doncic, as of this writing, has averaged 20.0 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 5.2 assists per game while shooting 43 percent from the field and 36.6 from beyond the arc. He has the chance to even be an All-Star.
