McMenamin Luka Doncic on what the Lakers 1-5 have missed the most in the preseason that theyll need for regular season success Obviously I think the physicality

Skip Bayless The Lakers are a better both ends of the floor basketball team without Luka

Perkins Whether it's being out of shape or him dealing with some type of injurywhen it comes to being reliable Luka is starting to get in that territory of Joel Embiid When you need him the most and it comes postseason time he's not available and if he is available he is never close to 70

Luka Doncic struggles to see the game as he gets repeatedly blocked by Bronny James

Brian Windhorst on Luka He is not close There is a whole ramp up thats required when you are coming back from a hamstring He has not started that contact ramp up yet

Max Kellerman and Antonio Daniels would rather have Jalen Brunson over Luka Doncic if they wanted to win a championship I would say Brunson The reason Id say that is because Ive seen Brunson play with and without the ball

Pelinka What did those teams Detroit San Antonio and OKC have to go through to build through the draft Multiple seasons of losses and that is just not part of our infrastructure here As much as some of us might want it to be that way its not the Lakers way
