I'm sure Phoenix loves hearing this

I saw that but there’s more context to it.

Plus it was James Jones who started the talk about him playing PF. So I’m not sure what Ayton is supposed to say. “No I’m not gonna play that position”?

Imagine not taking Doncic 1st overall

That’s what they said about Tyreke Evans after his rookie year too

Can I go on a mini rant here... Can we please stop crowning this Doncic kid the next MVP because NBA Twitter has loved him for years and years? He mostly sucked the 2nd half of the season, I don't see the upside as a defender nor as a scorer on offense. Has limited burst around the rim and there are still questions about how hard he actually works on his body. For someone that's not naturally a good athlete that concerns me. I think he's good and he's obviously a smart and crafty player but undisputed number 1 in that class? Uh uh not from me. Sorry. Prove it over a whole season before we start laughing at the Bagley, Ayton and Trae picks...

It was mostly just me trolling Melo

I figured but I just see a lot of it and I just think it's a little premature to be crowning Doncic as early as consensus is.

Admittedly, they did the same thing to my guy Tatum (who I love but still has a lot to prove). We really have to wait until year 3-4 of their careers to have an idea who’s gonna be really good and who’s just all hype.

agreed. i said it many times here that he'll likely never be a top 5 player in the league for a lot of the reasons you listed. in a way there's a similarity to how donovan mitchell came in the league. big balls to take and make big shots so a lot of highlights early but pretty inefficient. both with big physical limitations - mitchell (size) luka (athleticism). i think both are very good but will never be mvp types. i doubt you ever win a championship with either one as your best player.

Lube up, boys, Doncic's going to be bending you over for the next 10 years.

I didn’t even know Fisher was still coaching.

I think you absolutely could, it's just a matter of having the right build around him and luck, like with Dirk

Kid has a very high floor, but I do question how high his ceiling actually is due to his limited athleticism. I think Ayton has more potential, but the Suns need to develop him right, which is like saying we need to develop RJ right, we don't exactly have the best track record with that kind of stuff

If you remove all the hoopla around LaMelo he's an extremely intriguing prospect for the modern game... Great size for his role, good ball handling ability, not as smart as Lonzo but still has a good feel and has some nice potential as a defender and is a better finisher than Lonzo was. He's interesting and I think playing in a professional league will help him way more than college ever would.
