Having enjoyed a fine season despite being eliminated in the first round, Luka Doncic is dividing many people with his attitude. So for this former NBA player, it’s easy to find something better elsewhere.
With the Lakers eliminated in the first round of the playoffs against the Wolves, there’s been a lot of criticism of JJ Redick’s players. LeBron James is sometimes called into question, while Luka Doncic, despite some fine performances, is often criticized for his attitude. That and the fact that he’s been unable to defend well for some time.
The Slovenian is capable of doing much better, but for the time being, he’s content to attack, which is bothering some people. Doncic has been criticized by a great many insiders since the Lakers walked out the door, and that’s unlikely to change in the coming weeks as the playoffs continue. In fact, one former player invited himself to the party.
Luka Doncic snubbed again by an old friend
Il semble pourtant difficile de juger Doncic pour ses premiers mois avec les Angelinos, surtout vu tout ce qui est arrivé ces dernières semaines. Entre le trade, l’adaptation à la nouvelle franchise et à la ville, on jugera Luka à partir d’octobre après une belle préparation. Malgré tout, Raymond Felton estime qu’on peut trouver mieux que lui.
The former Knicks player is still keeping a close eye on his franchise, which leads 2-0 against the Celtics in the second round of the playoffs and after a fine victory over the Pistons in the previous round. An opportunity for Felton to show that Jalen Brunson is on cloud nine and deserves praise. In fact, he puts him ahead of Doncic, his former teammate in Dallas.
Raymond Felton : “I know you’ll think I’m crazy, but I think Jalen Brunson is better than Luka Doncic. He shows it. He’s in New York City and look what he’s doing. He’s winning. That shot he made against Detroit was crazy. He makes his shots.”
An opinion that’s likely to annoy a lot of people, whether we’re talking about Lakers or Mavericks fans. Brunson remains a talented player without a doubt, but let’s not forget Doncic’s playoffs last year at this time either. The Slovenian had achieved something special and is still capable of it today with the Lakers.
