Age [21] All-Star team

His name is Luka Doncic, and he is just the sixth 21-year-old named to the All-NBA first team, joining LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis, Tim Duncan and Rick Barry. Other 21-year-olds who were All-NBA selections: Michael Jordan, Tracy McGrady and Kobe Bryant (second team) and Shaquille O’Neal and Dwight Howard (third team).

That group (minus Howard) leads my Age 21 All-Star team.

The Mavericks point guard averaged 27.7 points, 8.0 rebounds and 8.6 assists this season. Even better, he averaged 35.7 points, 7.9 rebounds and 10.3 assists in a first-round playoff loss to the Los Angeles Clippers.
