In his rookie year itself, Luka recorded 21.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 6 assists per game. He won the Rookie of the Year trophy, beating out Hawks’ Trae Young for the top spot.

This shouldn’t come as a surprise though. Luka has been performing on an exceptional level ever since his inception into the NBA. The 21-year-old was a big name in the European League before he enrolled for the NBA draft, and has lived up to his potential in the NBA as well. As he keeps improving, the value of those cards would just keep ballooning up.

In 5 Mavs games this season, Luka has averaged 24.4 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 6.4 assists. He was considered an early MVP favorite and has not disappointed. The Mavs’ youngster needs to find a way to convert his individual excellence into wins for his team though. The Mavericks have a shaky 2-3 record to start the season.
