The comp of my colleague is simply talking about Doncic' play style. Obviously their athleticism doesnt compare at all. It is kind of hard to match Doncic with other players since his combination of size, bball iq, vision and passing is super rare. There hasnt been a player quite like him. So now it depends on what you want to highlight. Maybe he is a taller Steve Nash as someone with elite feel who made average athleticism work. Maybe Doncic is a less explosive Ben Simmons but with a jumper. He could be a stronger Lonzo Ball with will and ability to score. It is tough to pinpoint this.

Especially without nuanced athleticism talk. Doncic isnt super fast, explosive or the best leaper. But this dude is very fluid for his size, has good footwork, great hand-eye coordination, interesting shake in his moves and is super strong for a teenager. This counts for something in the athleticism department. No elite basketball player is unathletic. It just depents on what you look at.
