Robb_CParticipantAnyone have any idea what his bodyfat count is at?
He looks a tad bit pudgy for 18-19 year old, I think if he dropped twenty pounds he’d be a far better defender, I dont think the extra weight is helping him at all.. He looks like he could wind up be very unconditioned for an 82 game season..

BallerScriptParticipantIf I had to guess based on the combine results, I imagine he’d be close to 10%
I don’t think there are any official measurements though0- Posted on: Sun, 05/20/2018 - 7:07pm #1117416
Robb_CParticipantI would say hes on the 13-15% side, hes bulky and a bit slow footed.. I really like his game a lot but Id be afraid to play him in a rapid pace offense, I think a lot of his ability to bully hus way in the paint comes from that extra size and its obviously taking away his conditioning on the other end of the floor..
He should be in the best shape of his life before the draft, I hope he addresses this because if he can’t I really dont see him being a star player or go to guy..
He reminds me a lot of Jabari Parker.

BallerScriptParticipantI’m crossing my fingers that he isn’t close to 15%
Lets hope he can trim up a bit to have a more basketball friendly body0

BeastMode716ParticipantDoncic if Phoenix drafts Ayton #1 overall
Doncic looks like a terrific playmaker but he shot 33% from 3pt range in a very strong Euro League but let’s be honest it looks like slow motion compared to the NBA – translated Doncic might struggle to get his shot off at a high %%% clip from 3pt range in the NBA
He’s not going to struggle to Defend in the NBA against the higher level teams & eventually in the playoffs when it becomes a 1/2 court grind Doncic can not penetrate off the dribble
Doncic is extremely talented but he does have weaknesses & we won’t know if he can overcome them until we see it. We have seen Euro’s who are not super athletic thrive in the NBA – Dirt Nowitzki is a Hall of Fame & NBA Champion; Porzingus is a future perenial All Star; Dario Saric doesn’t get much attention playing w/ Ben Simmons & Joel Embiid but he’s a physical beast on the glass for Phila & shots 40% from 3pt range at 6’10”
None of those guys are athletic but All are 6’10’ or bigger. Doncic is 6’8” – traditionally a Wing & he’s clearly now that. Perhaps a Point Forward in a small ball line up??? Offenslively that would work but Defensively & on the Glass it would be Rough
Point is w/ a Top 3 pick a team is Hoping for a potential perennial All Star

HitsterParticipantI’d be interested to see what Doncic’s body fat percentage is at the moment as coming off a full season it should be at it’s lowest level in effect.
The Draftees effectively have to stay in shape after the end of their season through the combine and the workouts, then post draft and summer league they may bulk out during down time and then get back into shape during pre-season.
I’d be interested to know how much off their playing weight guys on lottery teams are now as their season finished well over a month ago. Guys would be expected to stay in reasonable shape but some may be walking around 7lbs or so heavier especially the bigger guys.
Doncic I think we fairly much know that he isn’t as athletic as other guys but he potentially has a better basketball IQ and the ability to make other players look better.
I feel his career stats may not be mindblowing but he will do as good a job as guys with more impressive stats.

OhCanada-ParticipantIf Doncic’s body fat is 10% or higher I would be excited about this. He projects as a PG, SG, SF and is 6’8 230. Getting his body fat percentage lower and then adding the proper muscle and diet would drastically improve his athletisism. Its not like athletisism is impossible to train and his body is never going to change. He’s 19.
