Clip 2: vs DROP defense again. He drives right and forces a switch. He exploits his momentum and makes this eurostep lay-up, planting his foot on the second step in order to get an over the top finish, rather than getting by the big man.

Clip 3: this thread is going to be only vs. DROP. This time defensive big stepped a bit higher, so Luka made a skip pass to the corner, giving the opportunity to Trey Burke to attack the close-out. Seth Curry is located too high and defense can& #39;t X-out switch in this situation.

Clip 4: driving ont he big man forces a switch, Maxi Kleber back cuts and for some reason, Paul George doesn& #39;t follow him and calls for someone else to guard him, resulting to an easy assist for Luka.

Clip 5: usually when a defense plays DROP, weak side players aren& #39;t helping on the roll: that& #39;s the reason they play DROP to begin with. Weak side defender is too deep and Doncic reads that, kicking the ball out the right time.

Clip 6: use of the "hostage" dribble to make this a 2vs1 situation and an assist to Boban. Defensively speaking, last man should rotate on Boban to prevent the basket and wing defender should rotate to the corner. Then Doncic& #39;s defender should rotate to the wing.
