Luka Dončić Discussion - Year 2

Thought y'all might enjoy this. I saw the Bobby Karalla post his stats and I took it a bit further pulling clips from Synergy. Luka's PnR roll passing really should be higher than the 1.414 PPP (71% finishing) it is...which is scary.

A 1st round pick also went to Phoenix in that Nash trade that turned out to be Shawn Marion.

He will replace “injured” Davis.

He is definitely the most fun to watch by far out of these guys. Given that he was 2nd in fan voting, I think his chances are 50:50.

Meh, he'll be ready by that time, unless NOLA still don't find a trade partner for him. But given the fan vote and how popular he is already, Silver would be an absolute idiot if he somehow doesn't include him on the roster, even though coaches are the one who are voting here.

I believe it’s very likely AD won’t play anymore. They will get much better offers in the summer and playing him before the trade makes no sense.

Yea that's possible specially if NO doesn't want to talk to the LAL. But i don't know if we experienced this type of situation before. He sits out the season because he doesn't want to play for the team yet he is healthy to play in an all star game.

Its smart for NOP to hold out. Ingram, Kuzma and Zubac is a garbage package to what Boston can offer in the summer with Tatum, Brown and Rozier. And they get to send him out East like what Pop and Buford did to Kawhi.

Why don't they show the assists number also? He is the best all around player of them.

I read that this would take place a few days ago on the Mavs reddit page.
For those of you who don't know AMA is "ask me anything".

Anyways, here the link to the page.

Quite an interesting video and something many people would probably agree with. I really wonder how NBA GM's see him though.

It really is crazy how good he is as a rookie. Legitimately, he's already a top 25 player, maybe top 20. Throw out contract, age, etc. Just on the court, there may not be even 20 other players I would rather have. The fact that he's on a rookie contract, super young and can get better is all gravy.

Don't think this is far off. NBA teams value high lottery draft picks and exceptional young players on their rookie deals the most, in terms of trade assets. People have to understand trade value is not equal to on court ability.

Doncic is a primary playmaker who also provides size and positional versatility, with 3 more years of cheap rookie deal (potentially 8 more years of guaranteed team control). Trade value wise, he is as premium as it gets. The only comparable one's are Giannis, who's 24 and underpaid (25 million) for another two years after this, and the number one pick in next year's draft, which is Zion Williamson.

Ron Artest sent this tweet to Luka. That is a very, very high praise from one of the best defensive players ever.

He is suppose to be some kind of a TV basketball analyst and a former NCAA player, if i remember correctly. And everytime someone disagrees with him, he starts throwing it in their faces how he played ball and they didn't so they have no clue what they are talking about. It's quite embarrassing to read some of his tweets. Also, he is a huge Trae homer so he is talking **** about Luka anytime he can.

Very nice post game interview. Rick actually went deep into their plans about Luka and how to prepare him for when they assemble a serious team.
