Volume stats are generally of very little importance in this contest, but Luka is, statistically, arguably the NBA’s most well-rounded player. He can pass, score and weave through defenses with the best of them.
Doncic previously entered this contest as a rookie in 2019, eliminated by aforementioned rule-cheeser Young in the semis. While he’s not the quickest up and down the court, none of the players in this year’s field are speed demons, and Luka has the skill set to rightfully be considered a co-favorite.
CP3 is back in the Skills Challenge for the first time since 2011, an anomalous absence since he’s fundamentally the most skilled point guard of his generation. Paul can ace every aspect of the obstacle course and is the steadiest hand of any competitor.
