And when we are talking about potential and complete players. Burst quickness and explosiveness are a big part of that package, and doncic will never be a complete package because of his lack there of. So no HOF stratosphere prediction here. If he becomes a great shooter in no time like the word around here goes, then he becomes kyle korver/if shooting will be his special skill. If he becomes good at everything then he is a valuable starter in the nba / hayward production / status max.
I don't comment a lot, but I also cannot allow this stupidity to continue.
No 18 years old person on this planet ever peacked physicaly or mentaly at 18 years. This is a fact, this is reality, this is biology.Only way you reach your peak at 18 is, if you die before turning 19 (I know it's a contradicting statement, but it serves the purpose).
Now specificaly about Doncic
Doncic is not physically well prepared, even by standards of amateur athletes. Not only is he not in shape but it's clear he never had a proper consistent physical exercises. This is normal for 18 years old, there's nothing wrong with it, but his body is now mature and he needs to start working on it.
His lack of quickness is a result of his body type. First let me tell you that Doncic has excellent frame for someone at 18 years old, one of the best body types you could possibly want. Now back to quckness or lack of. He has heavy legs, which are naturaly unresponsive (do not apear explosive). This kind of legs are extremely strong and resilient, but not quick. Good news is that quickness and explosiveness can be trained into them.
Doncic can become one of the most athletic players in the NBA, but he will need to put thousands hours of work into doing correct physical exercises.I put that statement in bold, because I know some people will have a problem with it and try to offer their expert opinion on how wrong I am.
The difference between them and me is that I have trained for years, put thousands of hours into exercises which are way more demanding then anything most basketball players will ever do. I also have similar type of body as Doncic, so I know exactly what problems he has to overcome. For people who will want to respond to this, I got no interest to debate, do not waste time writing some over-emotional response full of opinions based on nothing.
If this is by any chance read by someone who knows Doncic or can reach him. Give him this info:
Hire a proffesional coach specificaly for phisical preparedness (basketball coaches do not have the required knowledge).
If you are willing to work hard, you can through consistent exercises for next 2 to 3 year, reach levels of physical abilities you cannot even imagine right now. There will be sacrificed through this period, both in your private life and career, but time invested now, will reward you for the rest of your life. Put specific emphasis on exercise for leg strength and explosiveness but always train your whole body as a whole, or you will suffer injuries.
Remember this quote: The harder I work, the luckier I get.
