Even that dunk looks just, OK. Lol
Anyways, I don’t want to see a video of him making some shots. I want to see him DOMINATE everyone on the court. If he is worthy of the #1 overall, then he is supposed to jump out of the screen easily, right?
EVERY video I have seen of his, looks just like the video above, but just that a few more shots go in.
I admit I am no scout, and I have admitted that before as well, and I’m probably wrong here, but one thing that nobody has yet to change my opinion on is the fact that he looks like a JAG!!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who has thought this. He's looked very slow in every video that I've seen. I'm no draft expert, but his speed seems concerning to me. If he's a point guard will he be able to keep up with his man?
All I'm saying is that he looks slow. It's great that he has size, but does he have the athleticism to be an elite guard in the NBA? I've only seen highlights of him, so idk the answer to that. What position do you think he would guard?I feel like I'm being trolled...he did dominate that game. He's dominated more game against better teams than any 18 year old in basketball history.
Just because he plays the 1 offensively doesn't mean he has to defend 1's. God, you guys make it sound like it's a bad thing that he's 6'8" 230 instead of a midget like Trae Young

It’s not like Kyrie or Steph are winning any foot races any time soon. Speed seems like an odd thing to get caught up on. You guys looking for a Wall or Shroeder?
He'd probably guard SGs, SFs, and PFs depending on whether his team is playing big or small. Somehow he apparently looks small to people, but he's 6'8" with a 8'9.5" standing reach (same as Bagley, for example).
Speaking of Jasikevicius...
He showed me more at Maryland against tougher competition in the ACC, than Doncic has shown me over there. At least Jasikevicius could use his jumper to get separation to go along with his playmaking wizardry.
His freshman year at Maryland (when he was the same age Doncic is now), he managed 3.1 points, 0.7 rebounds, and 0.8 assists per game. But stats are meaningless, and because it was against "tougher competition in the ACC" I guess that's roughly equivalent to what Doncic is doing now anyway.
I want nothing to do with either Luka or Trae Young and I hope whichever sucka GM's draft them are really prepared to tailor their entire team's to cover for their weaknesses.
Doncic might be a step slower than Hedo Turkoglu, but everyone is so enamored with the potential for him to be Larry Bird with a baguette in his hand that we are willing to look past his horrible athleticism, lack of a first step and give him credit for all of the intangibles we raved over Rubio and Sarunas Jasikevicius
I'd say about so.
Doncic started playing professionally in 2015 so since his Freshman year of High School.
