Luka Doncic

[godfather]

He's going to be a top-3 player in this league.

Maybe the only player I see higher than him is Giannis. I think his ceiling is higher than Leonard's. His ability to make plays is what can separate him. He's going to get better at it.

I don't know for sure if he'll be better than Leonard. I just think his ceiling is higher.

Dude is going to shit on the Cavs D today. Wish he would have declared one year later.

On the flip side, imagine if he'd been eligible one year sooner. 76ers could have a starting lineup of Simmons/Doncic/Butler/Harris/Embiid right now

On offense, ok. But not on defense. Weird to discuss Kawhi without paying attention to defense

I think the league is at a point where offense is simply more valuable, particularly when discussing playmaking, and from a wing position no less.

Kawhi hasn't been good on defense this season for whatever reason. There are no stoppers anymore. You can either score or you cant.

 

[Ruggeder]

Another casual triple double. Great guy to watch games for.

Might be that offensive talent in general got so much better stopping one player is taking too much effort, focus and others easily punish you because of said overall improvement of offensive skills and offense in general.

The new rule changes are making it harder and harder to play some good 'ole defense. League is penalizing good defenders, and instead rewarding flopping.

The skill level is off the charts. He’s like a 6’8 Kyrie Irving with the handles and the shooting.

Doncic is a better passer, Kyrie has way better handles and better shooter.

Kyrie is a really poor comp actually.

 

[Alec]

Of course it’s terrible. I just mean the skill level in general. They were both more skilled than 95% of the NBA as teens

Fair enough, bit of a stretch, but I get your point. I like Doncic, he is like the white Larry Bird.

I think he has a smoothness to his game that is similar. It's why I used to compare Kyrie to Kobe. Just slithery

Kyrie has some of the best handles in NBA history so it's hard to use him as a comp to anybody. He is almost sui generis that way.

It pisses me off I have to have a Latin translator on while browsing a basketball board.
