Doncic is a freaking killer. 18 years old 27/9 playing against grown men. Cant convince me he has anything to do with Darko.
Good assessment:

It's hard to come up with a comparison for him. Not a comparison for what he plays like, but in a broader sense. He is so super skilled and playing big roles at big clubs at an absurd age. His athleticism doesn't pop explosion-wise, though. Not ridiculous to invoke Larry's name with this guy, right?

Rubio was very promising in Europe too....still a disappointment to me in the NBA.

Which has very little to do with Doncic. Prospects bust, it happens.

Doncic can shoot, pass, rebound and run an offense at 6'7, 6'8 and he's 18. Rubio was never a shooter, which prevented him from becoming a big time star. I think Doncic is a tad quicker than Rubio, too.

Rubio stats at 18yo in Liga ACB :
10.5pts / 3.2rbs / 4 assists / 2.2 steals / 38%, 29%, 81% in 23 minutes
Doncic at 18 yo in Liga ACB :
7.8pts / 4.3rbs / 3.1 assists / 0.7 steals / 46%, 32%, 79% in 20 minutes
Rubio was quicker than Doncic and a way better defender.
Doncic is a perfect fit for Europe, but I don't think he will be a great player in the NBA.

Wouldn't take Doncic over Bagley, Porter JR or Ayton. Probably not over Bamba either. I want an elite athlete if I'm drafting top 5.

Not sure how Rubio is a bust. hes offensively limited, but he does everything else at a very high level.
