Okay, here’s a version of the text, rewritten with a more human and engaging tone:
Luka Doncic is Already Wowing Teammates
Luka Dončić finally hit the court for his preseason debut on Tuesday night as the Lakers took on the Suns, and let’s just say he didn’t disappoint! In just 22 minutes, he racked up 25 points, seven rebounds, and four assists. It’s safe to say he’s already making a big impression on his new teammates.
Speaking of new teammates, Deandre Ayton, who you might remember was drafted before Dončić back in 2018, got his first taste of playing alongside Luka on Wednesday. Ayton, who joined the Lakers this summer, even connected with Dončić on a sweet pick-and-roll lob. But what really caught Ayton’s eye were the passes Luka wasn’t throwing to him!
According to Ayton, “Luka is different. He’s truly a one dimensional player when comes to that pick and roll. It feel like he got eyes in the back of his head. That was really fun seeing how he starts to do his Luka magic”
Ayton elaborated, calling Luka a “One-in-a-generational player when it comes to that pick-and-roll,” and raving about Luka’s court awareness: “It feel like he got eyes in the back of his head. He was finding guys in the weakside corners and I’m like… I thought the pass was for me, but I’m ducking my head for the pass to get to the corner so that was really fun. Seeing how he starts to do his Luka magic in those situations.”
It sounds like Ayton’s going to have a blast catching lobs from Luka this season, much like he did with Chris Paul back in Phoenix. But the real game-changer is those cross-court passes. While Paul is undoubtedly an all-time great point guard, Luka’s size and uncanny passing ability mean he can deliver the ball from anywhere on the court, at any moment. In other words, you gotta keep your eyes peeled when you’re playing with Dončić!
Luckily for Ayton, it seems like he’s more than ready for the show.
