Gilbert Arenas on Luka Doncic: "This season he will average a triple-double"

In a recent episode of Gil’s Arena Podcast, Gilbert Arenas made a bold statement about the future of Luka Doncic in the upcoming NBA season. Arenas stated that he expects the Slovenian player to achieve a notable feat: "I would be surprised if he doesn't average a triple-double. If you were averaging so many assists with what you had, and now you have a guy who is a specialist in long-range shooting. Some of your assists will come effortlessly this time." This confidence in Doncic's talent reflects his impact on the league and how his game has evolved.

Luka Doncic, one of the most prominent stars in the NBA, has proven to be a player capable of handling multiple aspects of the game, from scoring to ball distribution and rebounding. Arenas' comment highlights Doncic's potential to further improve with the new support on his team. According to Arenas, this favorable environment will allow him to achieve historical figures in terms of individual statistics, something that few players have accomplished throughout NBA history.

Arenas not only predicted that Doncic will average a triple-double but also placed him as the top candidate for the Most Valuable Player (MVP) award. "He will probably be the number one MVP candidate. He's going to do something that hasn't been done in a few years, and that is to average a triple-double," Arenas concluded. The 2024-2025 season will be an exciting opportunity to see if Doncic lives up to these expectations and reaches this milestone in his career.
