Dude has supreme confidence. Still worried about his athleticism at the NBA level though :skip:
why? his skill and size suffice
Every year the draft will have hyper athletic players that can’t buy a bucket in the league
doncic just a hooper

Many top 5 picks that arent labeled elite athletes have had a tough time translating in the league in recent years. Some like D'angelo Russell and Tatum (to an extent, hes an above average athlete) are coming along, but majority of them are struggling. Jahlil Okafor, Mario Hezonja (very similarly hyped euro athlete like Doncic), Bender, Kris Dunn (jury's still out on him hes improving), Lonzo Ball


Gotta be careful with guys like Doncic. He very well could be a beast, but when he has to play against NBA speed and defense I dont see him doing work

D’Lo, tatum, ball and Dunn are certified checkmarks and contributors in the league
Okafor’s just been stuck in a bad situation
Doncic has like 30 pounds on hezonja and is better rn that Mario ever was
idk the more I watch doncic the more I feel like he could just hoop anywhere.

Random thought as I try to watch this bucks-warriors replay, why do 2 warriors damn near lead the league in techs? They’re the defending champs, yet green and Durant are only behind Dwight Howard in techs:patrice:Green always seems mad at life but Durant has been especially touchy/irritable all year. Doesn’t seem like that ring was all that satisfying:francis:
