There's been a lot of hype surrounding Luka Doncic and his newfound physique. Doncic is already one of the NBA's best players, so his slimmed-down body could be a massive break for the Los Angeles Lakers. However, Utah Jazz alum Kyle Collinsworth said something that everyone should keep in mind this coming season about Doncic: he has to prove he can maintain his slimmed-down figure.
Collinsworth didn't say that verbatim, but he compared Doncic's new physique to Ben Simmons' offseason workout videos of him making threes.
I feel like Luka got into shape every off season is like Ben Simmons became a shooter every off season ud83dude02

For context, Simmons would face regular criticism for his outright refusal to shoot threes for years.
