Hate to call this but Luca Doncic has a terrible shape. Theres no way he is going to last with the combination of upperbody size putting weight on his knees and his playstyle which is pretty much LeBron 2.0 Branball-lite.
Doncic already looks less explosive than he was a year ago. Add a few years of this workload and his body could break down even worse than Blake Griffin. I don't know what the solution is. A Kevin Love-like transformation could hinder his effectiveness down low where he is not pestered by larger players but could help alleviate pressure on his legs.
Or you could play him as is and let time run it's course. An early prime may lead to an early end...or maybe Luca is so skilled he could play for a long time... but a Larry Bird early demise could be in the cards. We will see how far modern medicine has evolved.
Conclusion: I think a prime-Larry Bird build would be best for Luca. Not too thin, not too heavy. He should also consider lightening his workload.
