During a taping of ESPN’s “Keyshawn, JWill & Max” show, former Duke great Jay Williams did not hold back in his criticism of Luka Doncic and his lackluster Game 1 performance in the Western Conference finals.
Doncic is one of the NBA’s ascendent superstars, but on Wednesday night he left something to be desired. He finished the Mavericks loss with 20 points, seven rebounds and four assists, but he was a minus-30 on the night. The postseason is when the best players in the world elevate their game, and following the lopsided tilt, Williams sounded off.
In the clip below, Williams criticizes Luka’s meager defense. Said Williams, “I’m saying this like in a laughing, sarcastic way — he might be bottom-five defensively.”
Williams continued, calling out Doncic for half-hearted effort. Likewise, he questioned the fourth-year guard’s off-ball contributions. You can watch the entire segment here:
