I think they were all better than Doncic to be honest... he is very good obviously, and he will have a career in the League, but I don't think he's *that* good to go #2.
I mean you just named 3 great euros, really wish we had some way to get to the top 2 of this draft. Porter and Doncic look like great prospects.
the point is Petro and Peja had similar backgrounds and similar game as Doncic, and yet never got near to be considered top in the league, even though they were better than Doncic at the same age. If you had the opportunity to see them all at a young age that's just how it feels. For whatever that's worth...

Petrovic had no similar background to Peja.. Petrovic was a product of the united Yugoslavian basketball.. He played with Divac, Radja and the others (obviously was a member of that great Yugo team that lost in 1987).. As a Croatian he played with Croatia after the Split. He was an awesome guard and a great shooter.
Peja, was a kid that's been brought to Greece and raised here coz of the war.. he literally was raised in the environment of the Greek basket which was on the rise.. he proven to be a hell of a shooter.. he was about to play for the Greek national team but got dismissed from the Greek Commissioner, all that mess eventually ended up with him playing for Serbia (rightfully so, the kid was Serbian) and picked by the Kings later on.. the rest is history.
So, Peja and Petrovic, aren't similar cases.. on was a product of the united Yugo school of basket, the other was a product of Greek basketball (he arrived in Greece at age 14)

I love this kid. Dude plays off-ball defense like a soccer goalie. He lays out to deflect passes! Going to be a really good player imo.
Will explode this year and go top 10. If he doesn't, hope we take him.
