How would you react with Doncic being the first pick 

Post#1 » by D3ko » Mon Jun 4, 2018 7:07 pm

I Keep thinking that Luka is going to be the player selected by Phoenix, i just wanna test how is going to be the reaction from the Fans with Luka?

I know that winning will cure everything , but I would like Luka get a great support and growing with Booker Bender and Jackson .

But I already feel that some are clearly biased toward him, and with Ayton being home local hero, I can see a lot of people disappointed with Luka.( anyone remember porzingis boos at draft night )

So how would you react with LUKA DONCIC being your player

it's still a WIN. remember, we're used to Mark Tatum's **** eating grin "the fourth pick of the 201x NBA Draft goes to the Phoenix Suns". Many of us here weren't even preparing for the chance to be able to select Ayton or Doncic.

I'd still be happy and then feverishly trying to come up with scenarios where the Suns could move back up in the draft to get a big to combined with him.

Is D3ko a McD burner account seeking to figure out the backlash if he does select Doncic over Ayton??? Time to score through previous posts!

Happy....but would have much rather had Ayton.

Honestly I'll have the same reaction if they draft Doncic or Ayton. Happy to get a good player, excited to root for the guy, curious to see the follow up moves... but at the same time I'll be nervous because they NEED to be right with this pick and it's being made by McD who has a spotty at best track record of being right.

Happy and hopeful with either. They both have some serious strengths and some things you'd like for them to improve. I love Doncic's killer mentality and think he'd be a really exciting player to watch.

I trust McD will do the necessary scouting and will make the right pick whoever is picked.

I wouldn't be judgemental till I saw doncic play.
But I'd be dissapointed thinking he's a bigger risk factor and with the 1st pick I want a for sure Thing.

That would mean McD doesn't see a risk factor taking him #1 but I would till he played

A's over Royals. Lester and experience will prove that he's worth the trade.

Tigers winning it all. Tigers are, imo, peaking at the right time.

I'm sure he was joking and didn't have to go through previous posts since I can verify you are in Madrid.

If we drafted Doncic

If we drafted Ayton

Honestly, there's no right or wrong choice between the two imo. The only difference for me is Doncic is the better choice IMO.


But if we drafted not one of these two

I'll be happy either way. Prefer Ayton, but could live with Doncic. Not going to be super thrilled with all of Doncic's personal fans joining the board, because I could see a potential divide amongst the board when we'll be deciding if this is Booker's team or Doncic's team. Or we'll see fans complaining how Booker, Jackson is holding Doncic back in some way.

We could very well also get there with Ayton/Booker. Ayton wants the ball and the last big me or him deal in the NBA was Shaq/Kobe, from my memory right now. Doncic has been fine deferring. I think the potential for that type of sceneriou is there with either, but I know Doncic just wants to win...I'm sure Ayton does too.
