Really think his conditioning still needs to come a long way. His body has not been able to handle the grind of an NBA season yet.
That's such an unfair statement. Luka has the 2nd highest USG% in the list of players playing 30+ MPG, he's the sole superstar carrying his team into the top10 of NBA without the help of an established 2nd or even 3rd star player. He played 58/75 games which is pretty good for a player who has to play through so much contact. So i'd say he's handling the grind pretty well.
There certainly is room for improvement with Luka's conditioning, but it's not like he's currently not on a competitve level.
He's not a machine type freak athlete like LeBron or Giannis, but not every human being can get to this level.
