But he still faced critics.<\/p>\n<p>The former Dallas Mavericks star was ripped for his lack of conditioning and off the court work ethic.\u00a0Doncic weighed at a reported 260-pounds after the trade was made. At 6-foot-6, 260-pounds \u2014 Doncic looked more like a blocking tight end not required to run routes on third and long.<\/p>\n<p>Now he&#8217;s entering season two with the Lakers ripped.\u00a0So what type of workouts did Doncic hit?<\/p>\n<p>Andrew Heffernan of Men&#8217;s Health unveiled Doncic did a 90-minute workout. One that blended weight training, agility work and shooting drills.<\/p>\n<p>Another workout featured Doncic shooting with a resistance band strapped at his waist. That became part of a circuit workout with his trainer An\u017ee Ma\u010dek.<\/p>\n<p>Doncic needed to trust his lower body too. Trap-bar deadlifts became a part of his routine. Same with sprints and jumps on an outdoor track.<\/p>\n<p>Doncic now looks like a natural guard. And he&#8217;s sent an early message too\u00a0before Doncic plays his next Lakers game. Now Laker fans will hope his second season in L.A. becomes more stellar than his first.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lakers guard Luka Doncic unveiled a new, shocking look Monday.
