In the ten or so years I've been on this site, I think I've been slightly above average in declaring who I want us to draft. Batum, Exum, Giannis...pretty sure I wanted each...but then Almond and I'm sure a couple others were flat out bad calls.
That said, I don't see the greatness in Doncic for him to go 1 overall. I don't think I've even looked at his stats, which is admittedly one of the first things I do with these international prospects, but his video just doesn't impress me much. Reminds me a bit of Zipser who I liked a lot. But not enough to gon1 overall.
If Lonzo Ball was a wing, he'd be Doncic.
Edit: I worded this poorly.
If Ball was a forward, he'd be Doncic. I love Doncic. Kid knows how to play.
They dont play alike at all really.
I think Doncic is James Harden in Gordon Hayward's body.
You knew what I meant.
They have a similar impact, in that they're such good passes they make their teammates better. They see 3-4 steps ahead of their competition. I get the Harden stuff, but there are stark contests there too.
Doncic is ricky rubio with a jump shot
And Zipser is what, 23, 24?
Doncic is 18. 5 year difference. That's huge. Doncic is playing really well against grown men. He's going g to struggle against athleticism, but I think he's one of those rare players that truly makes everybody in his team better.

He looks like a somewhat better version of Gallinari to me.
Well doncic has a game very similar to Ricky Rubio but doncic can actually shoot it.Wut?
Not at all.Well doncic has a game very similar to Ricky Rubio but doncic can actually shoot it.
Not sure I can explain it any better

Cross racial comps are hard for people to fathom.I agree with Cy. Doncic is much more Hardenesque than anything else people have mentioned. He has extremely advanced off the dribble game with variety of moves to create space. The offensive and scoring skill are obvious + he has good passing instincts.
