youre such a **** troll.

Last year when DE had doncic ranked at #1, you had so much to say over DE and how they dont know **** about anything etc.

And now youre here quoting the same people and how you agree with them?


Don't know why you reply even, while he is just provoking most of the time and not capable of any constructive debate.

When he has the ball in ahlf court, he always relies on the screen, lacks any Isolation skill at halfcourt. That is the main negative of his game. Another big takeaway is just how ordinary Dragic looks. Most of the time, they dont even try to run plays through him, he just stands in the corner.

I feel certain I'm less of an "idiot" than the guys throwing around Magic Johnson comps and trashing Michael Porter Jr.

A bad game tonight. 8 pts, 8 reb, 4 ast, 2/10 FG with multiple turnovers.

0/5 from 3. Hopefully this is going to bring some people's unrealistic expectations down a bit. It's a must as there's going to be too much pressure otherwise. Sure, he was probably also a bit tired, but they're going to have back-to-backs in Eurobasket also, so it's not much of an excuse.

Tonight's shooting performance also shows that we really need to get more games in before we jump to any conclusions regarding his shooting improvement. Variance really plays a huge role in small sample sizes ... Even long 82-game NBA seasons aren't immune to variance.

So....someone trashed MPJ and now you feel like you gotta trash Doncic in every thread and provoke others?
good to know your agenda, some mod should put you in place before you derail this thread again to the point it gets closed.

Saying I'm doubtful about Doncic as a scorer in the NBA is "trashing" him? I'm sorry some of us are actually trying to be objective about him as a prospect.

Saying that Porter is playing against kids and asking how you can assess him, is trashing him? :wink: Doncic is playing 2 years with professionals and if tomorrow both go in the Nba, Doncic can easily play 20 minutes/game and Porter can't play 5 minutes. But I don't go to Porter thread and doubt about him, like you do in Doncic thread, with no arguments of course.

What unrealistic expectation? Yes, he had bad game. But still the best rebounder(8), assistant and most fouls received. :wink: He will have for sure even worse games, but the important thing is, he's together with Dragic leader of the team. And this's not small thing for the 18 years old rookie.

Yes, of course, I was targeting the expectations of him now being an "elite shooter", or even top scorer ...

There's no doubt in my mind that he's going to continue filling up the stat sheets and be by far the most all-around and complete player on the team.

I think he's a top 5 or so pick. He'll be an elite triple-threat wing in the NBA, like a rich man's Danilo Gallinari (the younger, less injury plagued version who played the 3). Just needs to keep working on his jumper and his athleticism to be a bit more efficient. He'd be awesome in a system that spaces the floor and moves the ball, like the Spurs.

Maybe I said it already, but if I was a Doncic, I would be so offended by not being pick number 1 that I wouldn't go to the NBA at all. Ever.

As a Doncic fan, I realy don't care if he's picked 1st, 2nd or 3rd. As it looks now, he is going to be a top 5 pick and I care more about him being drafted by the right team, then being first.

Personaly I'd love if Knicks or Suns pick him.

Could you imagine the kind of passing that would go on if the Lakers somehow lucked into Doncic next year? Doncic + Ball = :pray:

Remember that debate we had here about Dragic before? Myself and some others here said he would be nothing more than an average player in EuroLeague. We took a ton of heat for that from NBA fans. but reality is reality. He's a lot like Giannis and Rubio - totally needs NBA rules and reffing to be effective.
