3. A 34-Point Performance From Goran Dragic
Should I reiterate how great of a year Goran Dragic has had?
(Be careful how you answer, because I could go on for days.)
His season-high 34-point game against the Washington Wizards, being no exception.
On Monday, December 12, 2016, Dragic showed out versus newly maxed-out NBA star John Wall.
While Wall played an excellent game himself, finishing with 30 points on 12-of-26 from the field, Dragic totaled 34 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal in 31 minutes. He went 14-of-23, including shooting 2-for-5 from downtown. And was a perfect 4-of-4 from the line.
Swoon.
And what’s even more alluring is in how many ways Dragic really went to town.
Deep-three’s, 16-footers, quick-footed layups, Euro-steps to the basket, put-backs… short of a high-flying dunk, No. 7 truly did it all.
That’s my point guard.
