The Lakers are unrealistic to expect Doncic to change his playing style. He will not play without the ball.

Doncic has always played with a ball since entering the league in 2018, basically the same style as Harden, which has become one of the reasons why the Mavericks firmly trade him. It is not realistic for the Lakers to expect him to change his style of play, because Doncic's playing style has been solidified, and he will not play without the ball rights.

If you look at Doncic's data alone, it would definitely be a burst. At the MVP level, after trading with the Lakers in February, Doncic played in 28 regular season games, averaging 28.2 points, 8.1 rebounds, 7.5 assists, 1.6 steals, 0.4 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 43.8%, a three-point shooting percentage of 37.9%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 79.1%.

Playoffs, Doncic played 5 games, averaging 30.2 points, 7 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1 steal, 0.6 blocks, shooting percentage of 45.2%, three-point shooting percentage of 34.8%, and free throw shooting percentage of 89.1%.

From the above data, we can find that Doncic is still the league's big core and a true superstar. However, although Doncic's data is beautiful, he just can't win the game. The 4-1 elimination of the Timberwolves in the playoffs shows everything.

At present, Doncic is leading Slovenia to the European Championships. Doncic still scored 35+ in every game, and it is still difficult to win. Against Belgium, Doncic fought hard to win the first victory.
