Or just a very different discussion all together? Not nearly the player Luka was entering the draft, but just as high if not higher ceiling?
Luka at age 19 was best player in Europe, at worst top 2 with Nando at the time. VIctor at age 18 put all time terrible efficiency stats for a center In Euroleague, he wasnt ready at all. Two complete opposite situations, Luka was the superstar, Victor is the project. Victor couldn't really score efficiently even in junior tournaments, people who think they are getting taller KD simply do not know what they are talking about. Put Victor in the NBA right now, he would be great rim protector from day one probably, but offensively he would just float around 3 point line and he would be left wide open cause his shot is just a work in progress.
Victor IMO could be modern day Bill Russell, all time great defensively, but when you gonna look back at his percentages and points per game, you will not see a superstar.
P.S. I am incredibly disappointed hes leaving Euroleague. Weak move, guy wasn't happy with his role, so he downgraded the competition...
