He plays nothing like Luka Doncic and wasn't even near the the same caliber player as Luka Doncic...

Luka Doncic can dribble, pass, run an offense...

Mario Hezoja coming from overseas was touted because he could run and jump and had a pretty jump shot...basically he played nothing like a Euro...
You think Hezonja was a top 5 lotto pick because they thought he'd be a slow catch and shoot guy that cant defend anyone?

The NBA is different. Doncic not even looking athletic against Eurobasket comp is a massive red flag.

Hezonja had no real basketball skills besides being athletic with a pretty jumpshot. Everybody talked about his inability to dribble in the halfcourt and inability to defend the perimeter.

Doncic athleticism is fine.

People act like he is Kyle Anderson.

Jay Bilas sat there when he was drafted and said he was one of the most talented players in the draft, could shoot, put it on the floor, defend.

He was real arrogant while he was in Eurobasket too, like Doncic.

Yeah for a middle to late first rounder

He should not be in discussions for the top pick.

Jay Bilas isn't a serious scout...

Draftexpress clearly stated that Hezonja can't move in the half court

And why wouldn't the best player in the Euroleague not be arrogrant...

IDC about humbleness...

Luka can play...athleticism is overrated as hell...

IDK what dudes well imma be honest. I just let him stay on my team in Orlando during 2K15 cause he could shoot well against big men but the fact that he was still there by my third season made me immediately request a trade. nikkas surrounded me with palm tree ass elfrid and this...I don’t even have an insult for Mario. I just don’t know what he does on the court. Send him to Cleveland and let Bron judge him

:gucci:

If he can't get by defenders consistently in the Euroleague how is he going to do it in the NBA?

His lack of athleticism will also make him a weak link on defense. A backcourt of Doncic and Booker would be a defensive disaster.

Athleticism is not that important if you have any natural elite skills and especially if you have elite size. Everybody has strengths and weaknesses. Jokic isn't athletic. Marquese Chriss is crazy athletic. Who would you rather have?

Jokic plays the one position where you can be big and slow and still be a great player.

Doncic is being billed as a pg but he doesn't have NBA pg quickness or athleticism. The only truly elite skill he has is his passing. His handle is not NBA pg level, much less elite. So how is he supposed to run an offense when he's gonna be matched up against super quick elite athletes with better handles? There arent any of those in his Euro league and athleticism isn't something you can really "work on" like that. Skills like shooting and dribbling you can improve with hard work, but then you factor in the arrogance and immature attitude and it's just too many red flags.
