Luka Doncic’s Newest Teammate Still Getting Used to His Incredible Passing
Luka Dončić made his preseason debut on Tuesday night as the Lakers played the Suns. He had 25 points, seven rebounds and four assists in just 22 minutes of action and immediately made an impression on one of his new teammates.
Deandre Ayton, who was drafted ahead of Dončić in 2018 and signed with Los Angeles over the summer, saw his first minutes with his new teammate on Wednesday with the two connecting on one lob out of the pick-and-roll, but it was the passes that weren't to him that Ayton was most impressed by.

Luka Doncic on building chemistry with Deandre Ayton: It's more on me
Of the jobs tasked to him this season, maximizing center Deandre Ayton might be the biggest. Against a Suns team resting almost all its regulars, Luka Doncic and Ayton connected just once for a lob with multiple missed connections among Dončić’s five turnovers. “I mean, it’s probably just more (on) me,” he said of the connection. “Obviously, (I’m) the guard with the ball. But like I said, it’s more talking about it and what he likes. I know he likes the pocket, too. So I’m trying to get used to that too. But it’s just mostly talking about it and playing games.”
