NBA Insiders Have ‘No Doubt’ Luka Doncic Will Win Scoring Title Next Season
Brian Windhorst and Tim MacMahon believe Luka Doncic could become even scarier with LeBron James now gone.
NBA analysts Brian Windhorst and Tim MacMahon are highly confident that Luka Doncic will claim the scoring title next season, particularly due to LeBron James' absence from the Los Angeles Lakers. Windhorst remarked, "I think the idea that with LeBron not there this year, Luka will be scoring again like he did when he was in Dallas."
MacMahon echoed this sentiment, stating, "Luka’s won it twice. He won it in ’24 and ’26." Last season, Doncic averaged 33.5 points per game, and his shot-creating abilities are only expected to grow stronger with LeBron's departure. The analysts also noted Doncic's physical conditioning, which has improved significantly, and his incredible ability to change speeds, similar to James Harden.
Despite competition from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Anthony Edwards, Doncic's combination of skills and leadership makes him a strong frontrunner for another scoring title.
