LOL, he has to duck in order to dunk sometimes...

I feel this is the same description of Doncic coming out of Europe as well.

With the benefit of hindsight, surely you can see that Bagley was the better choice

The draft is a box of chocolates, same with European players as it is with Americans
At least we know this is a big @ss chocolate at 7'4"

That's the kind of post that could get you fired if you worked for ESPN.

I get that this is kind off true, but I still hate this type of mindset, because it implies it is plain gamble, while it really isnt, these basketball minds paid huge money to project these players, and every player is difeerent and is proven differently. Dragan Bender was a complete scrub in Israel, Wemby will be MVP in France, you can't equalize them both as same pieces of random chocolate.
It is hard to project any player jumping levels, developing in the future and all that, but there is science behind it, its not a pachinko machine, nu pun intended.
