That I hope he falls to the Suns.


He’s going #1 for sure. The Suns have to fall to him.

Read on Twitter

This was vs. a player (Claver) who was deemed worthy of a 22nd pick in the draft even though they knew he was going to stay in Europe for a couple more years (so they thought he was worthy of an even much higher pick).

Sure, he busted, but scouts deemed him as basically a late lottery pick type of talent.

Edit: A second too late, same exact tweet. :D

This would be scary in NCAA.
It would have change the American perception of NCAA quality.

Is it true he had the flu and skipped last practice before the game?

You could see that today the flu got to him, he was visably tired and even a bit passive plus he played a lot less. But never the less he is a top scorer, gave great assists (had how many 7-8?) initiated almost everything that was good about Real Madrid, got those special extras with forced unsportsmanship/technical for ball holding, scores an amazing 3 shot almost cleanly from his own free throw area plays incredibly smart, stopping the pace when needed with an overview like me home from couch and to top it all of when you think you have seen it all, he absolutely destroys the guard and streches him twice with the backstep/fake series of moves and then just again assists for an easy bucket.

P.S. oh yeah forgot, fixes the mistake from Campazzo when he gets blocked, cause of lack of awarness...but Doncic follows him and dunks + the extra foul.

All of the above with visable tiredness and makes it look so easy that you cant even tell how much reserve this guys still has (aka more aggressive to the rim stuff and so on...)

Ridiculous stuff absolutely ridiculous...

Yeah. :D They're going to miss my point, though. Doubters keep saying that he needs to be judged vs. lottery type of talent from the NCAA. Well, here you have Claver, a player who scouts deemed worthy and talented enough to be among top 2 dozens prospects, and would be the best player on most NCAA teams (since there's so many of them).

This is the type of talent that's usually the best player on teams NCAA prospects face on a weekly basis. :lol:

Ankle-knee-hip breaker!
AKH breaker!
Never saw anything like this. In a single game.
Flu.
All smiles.

Well, Real won. Definitely it was a must win against a bad team and they did all respond well. Few other interesting results. Actually scratch that, ALL 3 other games had interesting outcomes. Will be one win behind 5th place and 2 wins behind 3rd place. Gotta hustle. :)
