After four seasons in the league, does Doncic realize how special his talent is? ESPN's Tim McMahon reported that Doncic weighed more than 260 pounds and at least 30 pounds when he reported to lone ranger camp for two consecutive seasons. Even if this does not particularly affect his efficiency, it will increase the risk of injury. This season, Doncic has experienced injuries such as a sprain in his left knee, sore left ankle, and now also triggered health and safety protocols.
"I knew I had to do better," Doncic told reporters. "I went to the Olympics and I only had three weeks off in the summer, and I kind of indulged myself. I had to get back on track. ”
Doncic is a talented talented player, and there is no doubt that he is in the league's top ten players. From today on, even if he can't continue to improve his level, he can still enter the Hall of Fame. Doncic is a genius, but he's not a good employee.
Since his rookie season, Doncic's physical condition has not improved. He's still an unstable three-point shooter. He didn't reduce his mistakes. When there is no ball on hand, his performance can be greatly affected. For a while, he improved defensively, but this season he's gotten worse. In the NBA league, where top stars invest millions of dollars and countless unseen hours in body and skill, is Doncic doing what he can?
Throughout the summer, online jokes have been made of photos of Doncic drinking at the Olympics and called him "Shisha Doncic" in videos of him smoking. Doncic will turn 23 next February, so he has faced self-discipline throughout his career.
Luca could no longer avoid his own problems. Jokic once indulged himself, but then he chose to slim down and jump from the NBA All-In-Chief to MVP. With Doncic's super-salary contract set to take effect next season, he needs to start getting into better habits in 2022.
