Not very fit against the Warriors, Luka Doncic disappointed a lot of people in a very important match for this end of the season. So Kendrick Perkins took the opportunity to tackle him, and recall his big problem in this campaign.
With 19 points at only 6/17 in shooting, Luka Doncic did not shine against the Warriors this week. An important result since it allowed Stephen Curry's teammates to bring together in the ranking and at present, nothing has yet been done. Fortunately, the Angelinos took the victory against the Pelicans this Friday evening.
Otherwise, the Lakers could see their place in threatened playoffs. The dubs are there, just like the Wolves, the Clippers and the Grizzlies. Memphis was also in the top 5 of the League still recently and is 8th today. Suffice to say that the men of JJ Redick no longer have the luxury of slowing down.
Luka Doncic called into question … because of its weight
So will Doncic be able to raise its level of play and help Angelinos? Well some have doubts about it, like Kendrick Perkins. In the last program on ESPN, he did not hesitate to tackle the Slovenian and on a completely unprecedented subject: his weight. We have already seen it somewhere in recent months.
Kendrick Perkins sur Luka Doncic : “He does not have time, especially since the postseason is approaching. And Luka's big problem should be resolved only at the time of off -season: it is not in good physical shape. He has to lose weight, and that will not happen in the near future. There is a reason why the Warriors sought it defensively. »»
“Golden State has athletic wingers and everything else, that's why Luka galley with that last night. I am not here to say that he is an vile player. But I'm talking about the present and it's not good for Lakers and the player. Because his problem can only be resolved during the summer. »»
Perkins continues to think that the weight of Doncic is a problem, he who will have to lose pounds in the coming months. A redundant subject lately, even if we are curious to see how the Lakers will manage this file. Will there be requests for the player at the time of the offseason? We will know more after the playoffs.
Kendrick Perkins insists: The weight of Luka Doncic remains an important problem for Lakers, who will have to manage this at best during the playoffs. But not sure that the Angelinos approve this new tackle.
