Doncic was criticized for the worst defender: 65.4% probability of being overtaken by one step + losing 41 points + being deducted for a single game

Doncic averaged 41.6 minutes in five games in the playoffs, scoring 30.2 points, 7 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1 steal, 0.6 blocks and 4 turnovers, with a shooting percentage of 45%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 34.8%. The data alone is pretty good, but if you want to involve performance on the defensive end, Doncic is indeed a bad one.

TNT commentator Perkins talked about Doncic: "He is the worst defense super giant I have ever seen in modern basketball history." A Smith thought Perkins' words were too direct and hoped that he would use more tactful language, but Perkins ignored it.

Why is Doncic the worst defender? Looking at the G5 game alone, Doncic lost 16 rebounds on his head, and he was also dunked 9 times by the Timberwolves. He was the player with the most dunks in the playoffs;

According to APHoops data, when facing everyone in the Timberwolves, the probability of Doncic being passed in one step is as high as 65.4%, which also makes the Lakers ranked third from the bottom in the playoffs defensive efficiency.

According to the video analysis of the Lakers blogger, when Doncic defended alone, the Timberwolves easily scored 41 points, and Doncic did not make any achievements at all on the defensive end.

It is said that Doncic has a strong offense, but in the end of the five games of the playoffs, a total of 6+ 1 of 7 three-pointers, a shooting percentage of 30%, a three-point shooting percentage of 14.3%, an effective shooting efficiency of 32.5%, a real shooting percentage of 46.3%, only 3 assists + 3 turnovers, and with Doncic's defensive end, it is difficult for the Lakers to win.

However, some Warriors media believe that Doncic's problem is caused by LeBron, and LeBron's decline is the crux of this Lakers.
