Recently, former Lakers coach Scott talked about Doncic in an interview.

Speaking of Doncic, Scott said: "He lost weight and his body was in great shape...  However, we still have to see if he will defend well now. This is the key to checking whether he has really changed. If your defense is intermittent, your teammates will not trust you. And even if you are broken through by your opponent, you can't give up on defense because of this.  —  You have to fight for the second and third time, and make every effort to make up for defense. For example, in order to help me, the teammate temporarily lets go to the other side to help him make up for defense immediately. This is the team defense. But last year I saw him, once he was passed by his opponent too many times, he gave up on defense."
