There is little doubt that Doncic is one of the best players in the world, and if you had him listed at the top overall spot, I wouldn’t argue with you. He often puts on dazzling displays that convince me as much, and his highlight against Phoenix’s Cam Johnson on Wednesday night showed exactly that.
However, the reigning Western Conference champions showed exactly what his limitations looked like in Game 2. As a defender, Doncic leaves a lot to be desired. The Suns found a way to target Doncic, and it worked.
Doncic has played good defense before, but he was exposed on Wednesday. You can watch exactly how bad it looked in this video, embedded below:
