    I never understood the Luka detractors before the draft, ppl talking about Ayton's athleticism as to why he has more "upside" when Luka won MVP at the highest level outside the NBA, that's what real upside looks like. Athleticism and physical tools gives you something you can't coach, but displaying the ability to play at a high level shows more upside than a guy who can run up the court fast or jump high.

    • @otaviofrnazario
      @otaviofrnazario 2 роки тому

      Fran is actually the only guy on ESPN that follows european/FIBA basketball up close and in person. The rest of ESPN and the majority of basketball commentators in the US have a ton of outright prejudice against european players. They were overhyping Zion a year later basically because of games where 85% of his opponents were much smaller than he was (he played a season, with injury, in college).
      Don't get me wrong, I want Zion to turn it around and make better choices. But he is being a lazy ass, fat, injury prone guy since his first day in the league, let's be real. He played 85 games since he was drafted. Out of 3-4 seasons, he barely played one full. He wasn't bad in those games, but he is barely avaliable. Avaliability is a skill too, and a very important one.
      Luka had 10x more responsability inserted in his game than any kid climbing the ranks through the "AAU" way. He played in places in which the pressure of opposing fans is so huge that you might be partially deaf after a game. And he proved himself in said grounds. For Real Madrid and for the Slovenian National Team. As Fraschilla said himself: the EuroLeague is the AAA of basketball. Many US kids are rocking in single A (high school), playing a mandatory year in AA (college) and going straight to the majors with their stock outragiously high, much more than it should be. Luka played like an ace in triple A and is doing the same in the majors.
