(He's launched some real head-scratchers, like a step back from 34-feet with 20 seconds remaining in a three-point game against the New York Knicks that Damian Lillard might have even scoffed at). That's not to excuse some of the 3s Doncic has taken in the clutch this season. And when those shots are falling, he becomes practically impossible to defend because those step backs open up the rest of his game.įor example, this isn't a good shot for 99.9 percent of NBA players. The TL DR version is that it's incredibly difficult to distinguish between what a bad shot and a good shot is for Doncic because he's one of the league's premiere tough shot-makers. His shooting in the clutch is a microcosm of everything that I covered. I took a closer look at Doncic's confusing 3-point shooting earlier in this hiatus. Over half of his field goal attempts in the clutch have been 3-pointers and the bulk of those 3-pointers have been step backs. Now, numbers can be misleading, so I watched all 65 of the shots Doncic has taken in the clutch this season to get a better sense of what's going on. The biggest thing that jumped out is that he settles for a lot of tough 3s late in the shot clock. Based on those numbers, it probably won't come as a surprise to hear that the Mavericks haven't been great with the one-time All-Star on the court in those situations, scoring at an abysmal rate of 95.2 points per 100 possessions.

It's the result of Doncic shooting 21-for-65 (32.3 percent) from the field, 6-for-35 (17.1 percent) from the 3-point line and 15-for-23 (65.2 percent) from the free throw line.
