Too big, too skilled, too clutch.

Just give him the award during the allstar break.

If he also played like that the game before, I think he would have been selected as an all-star. I think he was that close and everyone wanted to be convinced just a little more. What a shame.

What are you talking abt? He was already playing a decent level before where he should have been given unanimous ROTY months ago and deserved all-star reserve. Obviously, realgm disagreed and numerous Suns and Hawks fans were favoring their respective rookies.
Doncic's career trajectory is already approaching all-time great and I would bet he surpasses Dirk as the best MAV player.
Right now, this guys trade value is the highest in the league combined with that cost controlled multi year rookie contract.
I am taking him over Durant, Curry, Lebron etc.

Maybe you should learn about the concept of fallacy and then come back with an argument about what i said, because your post is worthless right now. I can’t even follow your position on the matter.

So excited to see Vanderbilt get some burn now he's back.

Chandler Hutchison was coming along really well for us and now it's announced he's got a toe injury, will be in a boot for 2-4 weeks and reassessed after the ASW. The hits keep coming for us - We may be without both our rookies for the rest of the season.

Jaren with a 20 point game.

Trae with an efficient 30/8 game!

LukaV · Post #1931 » by **LukaV** » Sun Jan 27, 2019 1:52 pm

Good game by Trae, glad to see Memphis putting up a fight, that's better for JJJ than freefalling.

Luka with 32 Pts, 8 Rebs, 8 Assists, 2 Steals & 1 Block in W vs Pistons today

In fairness, the block was against Calderon so it won't count in the official statistics.

Not gonna lie, that was a good one. I liked Jose's game at his peak, but it's weird that he still hasn't come home to Europe.

"But he wouldn't be a good fit with Fox"
OMFG.

Luka a bigger slower Pistol Pete

TheBonzaiEffect · Post #1936 » by **TheBonzaiEffect** » Mon Jan 28, 2019 2:37 am

35/12/10 triple-double for Luka on 14-24 shooting. Was the best player on the court, and took Toronto to the wire despite them hitting 17 threes and having Wes and Barnes are starters. Absolutely nuts how impressive that is.

Bagley is a better fit and has just as high a ceiling if not higher.

Luka is an elite shot maker. He would be the king of horse. He can shoot it from any slot. Not a sharpshooter like a Durant, Steph or Allen but such a skilled player.

35 points triple-doubles must be rare for rookies. Anyone has a stat?

At some point… just get him in the all-star game FFS.

Bob8 · Post #1940 » by **Bob8** » Mon Jan 28, 2019 2:43 am

Everyone has as high ceiling as Luka, but unfortunately for them not many will reach his floor.

Who do you think are the best two rookies?
