Barea has been admiring since the start of the 2019-20 campaign:</p><blockquote>“Unbelievable. But we were talking about if he can keep this up, and I was like, ‘Yo, if somebody can keep this up, it’s him,'” said Barea, who serves as a mentor for Doncic, according to <a href="https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/28126914/mavericks-luka-doncic-posts-35-point-triple-double-25-minutes" rel="noopener noreferrer">ESPN’s Tim MacMahon</a>. “He plays on the ground. He’s super smart. He’s shooting the ball well. He’s finishing really well. I see him keeping it up.”</blockquote><p>Doncic’s latest feat? A 35-point, 10-rebound, 11-assist triple-double in 25 minutes as the Mavericks dismantled the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/nba/golden-state-warriors">Golden State Warriors</a> with a 142-94 win. The young phenom outscored, outrebounded, and outassisted the entire Warriors team in the first quarter, something Barea argued comes easy to him:</p><blockquote>“It’s not hard for him to do this right now,” said Barea. “He’s not forcing crazy s**t. It’s just coming. That’s why I think he can keep this up. He’s making it look easy.”</blockquote><p>The Slovenian wunderkind doesn’t need to take 30 shots a night or play heavy minutes to get his numbers — he’s doing so without playing any more than 38 minutes in each of his first 14 games of the season. Doncic is a huge part of why the Mavs are 9-5 this season and as long as he can keep up this level of play, he could lead them to the playoffs with well-rounded performances like these.</p><figure class="op-tracker"><iframe><script>  (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),  m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)  })(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');  ga('create', 'UA-66147751-16', 'auto');  ga('set', 'campaignSource', 'Facebook');  ga('set', 'campaignMedium', 'Instant Article');  ga('set', 'title', ia_document.title);  ga('send', 'pageview');</script><iframe>    <script type="text/javascript">        window._taboola = window._taboola || [];        _taboola.push({            article: 'auto',            ref_url: 'http://instantarticles.fb.com'        });        !function (e, f, u, i) {            if (!document.getElementById(i)) {                e.async = 1;                e.src = u;                e.id = i;                f.parentNode.insertBefore(e, f);            }        }(document.createElement('script'),            document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0],            'https://cdn.taboola.com/libtrc/clutchpoints-clutchpoints/trk.js',            'tb_loader_script');        if (window.performance) {          if (typeof window.performance.mark == 'function') {            window.performance.mark('tbl_ic');          }        }    </script>    </iframe></iframe></figure></article>    </body></html>
