Draymond Green Makes Huge Prediction About Luka Doncic After Physical Transformation

One of the biggest stories in the NBA summer thus far has been the physical transformation of Luka Doncic, who is getting in fantastic shape ahead of his first full season with the Lakers. Despite scoring near 30 points a game in his NBA career, Doncic has never been one of the fitter players in the NBA, but after speculation around his departure from the Mavericks, he's clearly motivated to improve his physique.

We've not seen a fully trim and athletic Doncic since his rookie campaign, meaning this could spell doom for the rest of the league, with Draymond Green making a massive statement about his potential.

"Luka is looking like rookie Luka all over again. The trade has created that hunger again it seems. Also, the perfect year to go win his first MVP award."

Last season was a whirlwind for Doncic, but over his career he's been one of the best players in the NBA, averaging 29 points, 8 assists and 9 boards, and now, he's in the spotlight of one of the league's biggest teams. However, Doncic has never finished higher than third in MVP voting, but with the Lakers clearly starting to build around him for the future, now would be the perfect opportunity to put together an MVP caliber campaign.

With the likes of Nikola Jokic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Giannis Antetokounmpo among others contending for the away again, it's not going to be easy for Luka, but on the back of his transformation, Green is one of many that believe we could be seeing an MVP Luka in 2025/26.
