I'm as big a Doncic apologist as anybody, but that is crazy talk. He's not as big and not nearly the athlete.

Simmons can't shoot though. I'M not saying Doncic is Curry as a shooter, but look how much easier it getts for everyone else on the court to score when the defense has to put emphasis on the 3pt line
 
Grayson Allen is going to be in the NBA for 10 years... not a high level dude but a role player. Will likely end up being as annoying as JJ Barea.
 
Early of course, but this Kentucky team does not impress me. Think Knox could be the only first round. Only other guy I kind of liked was Killeya-Jones.

Watched most of the first half... they are talented but not a lot of BBIQ yet. Just guys doing stuff.

Here's DraftExpress' latest take on Trevon Duvall going into the season.

http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Trevon-Duval-81776/

STRENGTHS

-Physical specimen at 6'3, with a 6'9 ½ wingspan and a chiseled 195 pound frame. Big hands. Wide shoulders
-Tremendous athlete. Impressive combination of quickness, body control and sheer strength in the open floor. Overpowers smaller guards on a regular basis. Gets to wherever he wants on the floor.
-Quick twitch acceleration in the half-court. Has an extra gear. Can play above the rim with ease
-Can make the extra pass. Shows some vision on the move, especially in the open floor. Will uses both sides of the floor at times
-Outstanding potential defensively. Gets low, moves his feet and puts great pressure on the ball with his size, length and strength. Very impressive when he's focused, competing and working to lock down the opponent
-Articulate and intelligent off the floor. Student of the game. Leaves a lot of room for optimism with his intangibles

WEAKNESSES

-Hasn't made much progress with his jumper. Still looks like he's shooting bowling balls at the rim. Shoots on the way down, or from his shoulder. Stiff with his release
-Needs to improve his ability to finish with finesse around the rim. Struggles in traffic at times despite his tremendous tools
-Decision making skills leave a lot to be desired. Not the most fundamentally sound or solid passer. Looks to make the highlight reel pass instead of the simple one too often, rendering him turnover prone. Often a split-second late with his reads. Kills his dribble in traffic
-Gambly defender who takes possessions off at times OUTLOOK Despite being considered the #1 point guard prospect in the class, Duval struggled for the most part in Portland, particularly in the scrimmages where he was outplayed by Collin Sexton. Duval's jump-shot hasn't made the type of progress you may have hoped, and defenses have gotten much smarter about sagging off him and forcing him to beat them from outside. He's a monster in the open floor, but his decision making skills are still catching up to his athleticism ability in the half-court.

Lol. Man you should really watch a sixers game before spewing this nonsense. Simmons "can't shoot" YET, and still puts up 20pts/gm. Seriously, Its been a long long time since I saw someone come into the league with as many intangibles, as much talent and possess such high basketball IQ as Simmons.

imo, it will be another 10yrs before we see another young talent like Simmons.
