    I rather get bagley if he reclassifys or porter jr,I'm just saying he should be a good nba player he has the tools.I wouldn't pick him #1 but he's thorough it ain't all hype.

    Only porzingis(in a weaker league) and saric had similar euro #'s saric was 21 doncic 17

    i guarantee you if the bulls get the number 1 pick they will choose doncic

    they ALWAYS go with the slowest and least athletic available

    Porter Jr is a pipe dream for us but I agree he is the big fish in this draft. Doncic can clearly play but he's not nearly as good as advertised imo. He's slow as hell and I'm not sure how much his lack of athleticism will hinder him in the NBA. there's 4 or 5 guys I'm taking over Doncic in this draft. I think Duval will eventually play his way into the top 5. All depends on If he shoots it consistently next year.

    Doncic will be a poor mans combo of bird/magic yea I said it.

    I like duvals game too he plays like kyrie his handle sick but he can't shoot yet.Kevin knox another cat who should be nice he kind of reminds me of durant the way he shoots and moves.I've been scouting these cats and plan on watching projected top 5-6 picks in ncaa next year.

    I've seen "a mix between Curry and Klay" "He's the next Lebron" " "Bigger Harden" I don't know man I just don't see it. Time will tell. It might just be that the Hezonja wound is still so fresh that its slightly clouding my judgment. Dude is basically a Euro Joe Alexander smh.

    the ringer wrote about dude

    this stood out to me

    "the most athletic wing Doncic faced in Spain was probably Chase Budinger."

    that was one scouts take on him

    so i’ll wait on forming expectations given that

    need to see him play against top u.s talent but he does look good just not sure if its gonna translate

    Cavs or Lakers on a vet min 3 weeks into fa that's what it's come down too

    This is karma for sayin you're looking forward to free agency with 2 years left on your max contract.

    I wouldnt sign rose for the minimum cause ill be worried about him dipping out half way through the season. Last few seasons its been clear he only still in it for the money and considered giving basketball up multiple times. So if you give him the minimum and have him be an important piece in the rotation, you liable to find out rose retired right before a game at some point during the season.

    Nah, cause if you the Cavs and you sign him and make him your 6th man or an important piece in your offense and your trying to make a serious run and dude dips on you halfway through the season, its a big blow.

    If you the heat and you aint going nowhere anyway then the minimum will be for the best.

    Knicks had two players go awol in the past year

    I dont see anybody or rose doing that playing for the Cavs and heat because they are ran MUCH better even with the lack of GM in Cleveland

    But I get what you mean, I thought you meant minimum vs a multi year deal

    Damn Russ Smith out here averaging 55 points in the z-league in China. Surprise he wasnt on a summer league team.
