Deandre Ayton: I'll be pick nr. 1! Marvin Bagley III: I'll be pick nr. 1! Jaren Jackson jr.: I'll be pick nr. 1! Mo Bamba: I'll be pick nr. 1! Michael Porter jr.: I'll be pick nr. 1! Luka Dončić: winning championships.
@ Tyre Jackson He won the euro championship though beating Spain and Serbia on their way. Do you believe that american college teams will beat pro european teams ?
Tyre Jackson There is not one College team that could beat Real Madrid and there are a lot of NBA teams that couldn't beat Real Madrid. Trash talk all you want but Doncic has been playing guys who are much older, more experienced and stronger than him and he's been winning while being the MVP.
Ummm, but he's also being paid to play over there; so yeah these one and done guys do want to get paid. Sorry guards come around a lot more often look at the league, it's dominated by guards. If you need and want a big this is the draft to get them.
Americans thought college basketball is better than euroleague just because it’s in America fucking fools so racists. Hmm I thought America was from native Americans hmmm
u mudder pucker ofc, that's why he was the mvp of the euro league at 19 ? Ayton is an amazing prospect so i understands why he could be taken 1 but it's ridiculous how even when facts are thrown to them some people are still going to say dumb shit
Lavar Ball most college teams don't have any future nba players. Ayton lost to buffulo, a team with no nba players. This "subpar" basketball level is clearly way better than the garbage that is college basketball.
S - 7 P - 8 E - 6 C - 9 I - 10 A - 5 L - 7 I mean, these are workable stats... but he would need some good equipment. Plus, he would need to level up quickly.
only when he plays against euro talent... this whole, 2nd best players in the world thing is BS, college basketball is by far more competitive than euro league...
Josh the NBA is the absolute cream of the crop of college guys. Take those guys, develop them for a couple years further with NBA facilities and personal, and most of the time they're still not good enough. Then they go play in Europe, and STILL don't dominate. THAT'S Euro ball. Please explain how NCAA is superior competition.
I think Doncic plays better as the PG role than Harden. Harden can pass and all, but his game sense is subpar in that area. He takes almost the whole shot clock before passing. I think Doncic simply distributes better.
I like the comparison hadn't thought about that, harden really isn't going to blow you away with his first step but somehow that mfer always gets to the rim!
I would be nervous drafting a big man over a swing man especially in this modern nba. Remember Sam Bowie over Michael Jordan, Remember Greg Oden over Kevin Durant, Remember Darko Milicic over D.Wade and Carmelo Anthony.
Blaise Edwards Did you watch the game? Sean MiLLer put Ayton in a horrible position making him switch. Buffalo played great defense on the P&R. Don’t talk if you not even watched the hame
Did I watch?? I picked Arizona to win it all! They had the best player in the country and lost by 30 to Buffalo?? It was clear who the more competitive team was. Ayton was only concerned about getting to the draft.
Green Runs Deep Which games have you watched Ayton play? AZ plays man-2-man only and he’s had to switch out on smaller guards and wings majority of the games and moves feet great laterally, length disrupts shooters, and can block anyone. At times instincts are not on point on weak side help, but if you really watched him play his defense is fine and will only get better. As long as he stays away from injury and other distractions off court like any other suddenly multi-millionaire teen he’s gonna be special in the league.
Obviously take Luka, it is proven that in the modern NBA, CENTERS can't lead a team to win a championship but guess what, guards and forwards CAN. What did the KAT in this playoff?(which btw, is a center that can actually shoot the ball) I tell you, nothing. Maybe Doncic is not going to be a super-star but he'll be a good starter for most of the teams in the league 15 years from now, so the real question here is : take a guy that already showed he can play or take someone that has potential but there is a chance he'll never reach his best? The answer is obvious.
What exactly do you mean by "modern nba"? Tim Duncan was arguably the best player of the 2000's and lead his team to 5 championships. The lakers enjoyed their most dominant years behind Shaq and would only rise to prominence again with the additions of Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum. Kevin Garnett was the anchor for the Celtics and a prime Dwight Howard lead Orlando to a finals appearance. The only teams who have enjoyed success without dominant bigs have had ALL TIME GREAT TALENT on their squads. From the Miami heat of the early 2010's to the now dominant Golden State dynasty all featured transcendent all time greats. Do you honestly believe Luka has the same level of talent, athleticism or upside as a Lebron James or the scoring ability of a Stephen Curry? Not only is Ayton the better choice, he's the SAFER choice. You don't draft players you think will just be "a good starter for most of the teams in the league 15 years from now" when you have a top 5 pick; you want an all star or a potential hall of famer.
Yea, potential hall of famer, good joke, next Okafor or Bennett, you'll see him in euroleague probably in 2-3 years, oh wait, actually Bennett was fired by an euroleague team, hahaha. And for real, you wrote here a lot of intelligent stuff and you can't figure out what "modern NBA" means? Also, " Ayton the better choice, he's the SAFER choice" even Jackson and Bamba are and will be better players than Ayton ;) peace
The shift in focus by today's NBA front offices with drafting, team building and style of play is effectively chasing fools gold. The Golden state warriors effectiveness is a historical aberration. The foundational draft pieces that built their dynasty are two of THE GREATEST SHOOTERS IN NBA HISTORY. The only NBA teams that come to mind that didn't have dominant big men and won in the last thirty years have featured TOP TEN ALL TIME GREATS. Lebron James and the Miami Heat. The 2010's Warriors. Michael Jordan and the 1990's bulls. Drafting a quality big man will 9/10 times be the safer and more fruitful selection unless you're talking about a guy that can DOMINATE from the perimeter. I personally don't see Luka being that level of transcendent talent in the NBA and it's no surprise that the rebuilding Suns and the Kings went with players who will yield an immediate return on investment.
Man, we all know they don’t like him cuz he’s white. I was looking at the 2019 mock draft and look what I’ve found, a guy from France ( which is black btw) called Sakou Doumbouya. This guy is playing in the 2nd league of France averaging 8 ppg, 4 rebounds and 1 assist and he is projected no.3 pick. Btw, France doesn’t have a team in Euroleague that’s how good they are and this guy play in 2nd division not even first one. Yea it’s true that this kid might fall in 1 year or become a really solid player but still, a white guy that is winning literally everything in Europe almost dropped out of top 3 this year...fuck logic :)
lol AND THERE IT IS. Do you honestly believe that NBA franchises and the league as a whole wouldn't be ecstatic about having a bonafide white, European superstar? The NBA is aspiring to be a GLOBAL BRAND; think of how many millions of dollars in revenue Luka would potentially generate domestically and internationally if he turned out to be the next major player in basket ball. The league wants superstars from all corners of the world. NBA teams typically don't draft based on a player accomplishments in their careers. They draft based primarily on talent, UPSIDE, roster need, and measurables while faintly considering career success. Kyrie Irving played only 11 games and missed roughly two-thirds of his freshman season at duke due to injury. He then went first overall and has been an all NBA caliber player and an NBA champion. Winning everything in Europe doesn't mean much when the very best players across the globe (including the best European players) play in the NBA.
you guys dont understand...ACB is the 2nd best league in the world. Euro League is even better than that, with THE BEST teams from all over Europe coming together for a soccer like CHAMPIONS tournament. If the champions league of basketball was an actual league system, like conferences, it would be MUCH better than ACB, and he was MVP of that! Also, the European (nations) Championship is the best players from each country, like the World Cup, where Doncic basically took Iceland or Wales and won the whole thing at 18, first try.
Porter has the most upside. This draft does not have a sure fire pick. This would be the draft where you’d be most comfortable taking a risk on the most talented and best NBA fit player in the draft. If Porter is there past the first two picks, teams would be idiots not to risk it.
The Suns should pick him, Kokoskov already knows him and was his key player for Slovenia’s first Eurobasket title. Doncic & Booker is the next “Klay and Curry” duo legacy.
We know Phoenix will take doncic because Phoenix just hired doncic’s former coach. Do you think that was just a coincidence? Also, the nba is now a more guard dominated league. This is like Durant/Oden all over again. Phoenix should take doncic.
Rudy Gobert is the best center in the NBA. Anyone who truly watches basketball and understands the game knows that he completely alters the other teams's offense due to his length and defense. As an avid Jazz fan, Donovan is our best player but Rudy is our most important. Our entire team strategy is built on Rudy guarding the paint so the wings and guards can defend their man. Defense isn't sexy but it wins games. People always count us out because we aren't a big market. So hey, if Bamba can be anything like Rudy then that franchise is getting a huge defensive asset.
😂😂😂 Rudy can’t even catch the ball, has zero post game he only scores off lobs and put backs. Best defensive center yes but not best center that’s cousins hands down
Carson Redford the best center is Joel Embiid and the Best big man is Anthony Davis hell I’ll pick Clint capela over Rudy Gobert he can’t guard the perimeter
From my understanding we strictly speaking fundamentals. with that said, Numbers don't lie, look up Cousins numbers since he entered the league. do your research, Boogie's a beast! 😤
Suns options are: 1. Draft on your lacking position 2. Draft the guy with most potential to be an all nba team or even a super star For me its a no brainer. The fact that there are rumours that Spurs are ready to trade Kawhi for that number 1 pick and Doncic should be a decent sign for his quality. At the end of the day, mentality is what counts and what makes the best players to rise above all else. People understanding psychology could spot some pretty big difference between Ayton and Doncic. When ask about their potential, draft position: Ayton: I am not going to say that I am the best but ... I am best and should be number 1(paraphrasing). Doncic: I dont know. I suppose we would see after one year If teams made a mistake passing me or not. I know that I would give my best(paraphrasing) Ayton obviosly has stardom inside his head which is a very big and sharp knife. The major problem for people with that mentality is that there is a big chance that reality wont meet thе super image inside their head. Once that happens, most often than not you crumble under the pressure and you need some pretty strong mentality to overcome it. From the interviews that I saw from this kid ... IMO he doesnt have that strenght. Doncic on the other hand had walk on this path in the past three years. He knows the pressure, cope with it and got the experience to reach the next level. He knows that the world is not black and white and no mather how good he think he is ... something could go against him. Once you accepted that idea, you are more capable of overcoming hard times and challenges. You dont expect immediately to score 30 and people to talk about it, you just want to go out there and give your best. This is a strong foundation for superstar. If I can see that, major scouts with years of experience while gettting milion dollars paychecks should also be able to see it.
Will Cain is crazy lol no way Luca is the best player in this draft no fucking way. The things he’s doing in Europe can’t be ignored and that’s why he’s going Top 5. The fact that a 19 year old won the Euroleague mvp tells the story of the competition over there.
I was watching the on the clock show on ESPN earlier. They said that Drew Hanlen has been training him for the last two and a half months. He’s getting a real jump shot. Drew Hanlen is the best, in my opinion, shooting coach in the world. Bamba has went from being so raw offensively and so limited to actually having a legitimate shot to be a great offensive player for a 4 or 5 guy. One that can step out and shoot the three pointer consistently. That’s scary. He’s got the work ethic too.
I would take Ayton if I was Phoenix. His upside is ridiculous, and he's a 'hometown' boy, and they need a centre. I think Doncic is getting underrated, and there is a very good chance he ends up being the best player in the draft, but for the Suns, Deandre for sure. If a different team had the first pick, then it would be an interesting convo.
Lol if he's black he wouldn't even be in the top 3 discussion. Every good Caucasian player is glorified by media narrative, welcome to American sports media
lol Ayton is a beast, and your centers suck ass so i agree with this. Defensively though, Ayton won't be able to move against a guy like Porzingis or anyone who can shoot 3's
Stop with the white people garbage. A lot of people including blacks want Luka over Ayton. Phoenix does need a Center, but at the same time Ayton isn't going to offer you defense, as his game simply isn't there yet. He has potential to be a good defender, but his mentality of willing to defend isn't. I think people look at the current NBA and see that you need wing players to be successful. Booker is good and will continue to get better, but I think people see that the game is now won based on who shoots the three better.
Anthony Broaddus what? So racist. white or black? Black guy dies on the street white guy protest. When trump don’t like black guys the black protest. The fucking cycle goes on even in the nba, European players can’t play ball because they are from euroleague. Full of shit.
João Lopes There's a legitimate reason for it and science behind it and I can explain if you're really interested. Its kind of fucked up, but makes total sense.
Darko played in an average team of Serbian league. Doncic is best player in the best team of Europe. Quite a difference to be honest. But sure, Doncic can be a bust as well, but so can be anyone, how many new Shaq's and Hakeem's have you seen coming from NCAA? There are much more American top picks than Europeans and there are much more American busts than Europeans. How come you only remember Darko? You can have your opinion about players, only time can tell, but saying that he'll be a bust because Darko was a bust is stupid. He played higher level in Europe than Dirk or Kristaps or any other white boys out there.
Darko was fucked by that psycho Jerry Brown. Jerry destroyed Darko confidence forever. Darko should not have been draftet by Detroit. If he hade fallen to 20-30 pick and hade a good coach like Greg Popovich then i think Darko would have been great. Bilups talket about how Darko is kicking ass on workouts..but that bastard Jerry destroyed everything. such a shame.
of course a black guy like you wants to take a another bust black player as the number 1 pick. How did last years black number 1 player turn out????????
brian henry It had nothing to do with race more than it had to do with Will Cain not knowing much about basketball but since you took it there how Euro players in the top 3 picks I won’t even say top pick worked out?
Tariq Ansari most euros aren't picked in the top 3, cause of the uknown. But forget the order they were even picked, euros seem to have a much higher rate of success lately, which shows basketball is improving overseas and it's only going to continue. Don't even bring up darko, cause for every darko, there are countless fultzs.
Tariq Ansari also luka is the most accomplished euro prospect ever, but Cain doesn't know anything. I guess your the expert that they all should go to, some guy on youtube lol
brian henry I wasn’t gonna bring up Darko at all. Have Euro players gotten better? Absolutely but he himself is not a top pick. He can play but he’s not changing anybody’s franchise he’ll be better on a team that’s right outside of the playoffs not a team that needs their fortune changed
Dennis Bergkamp. Honestly no. I haven't seen much of him but scouts said the same about darko with the same amount of scouting so.. Safe to say that he's darko 2.0 at best. I really hope he proves me wrong.
Don’t compare ayton with darco!!!!! Darco was chosen by the piston who were champion contenteding team and they didn’t even develop darco to his potential While doncic is a while another level bro he’s the youngest and plays Euro league the second best bball in the world. Not American college basketball. Fun fact imagine American basketball vs euroleague. The gap of te score double digits euroleague wins. Yeah ayton is good but for the Phoenix they need a pg or a play maker.
Because as you said MVP of the SECOND best league not the best, secondly he's slow as molasses going up a tree in January, NBA athletes will erase most of his opportunities. 3rd Toni Kukoc.
You are just hater......yea but he is MVP of SECOND best league at 19 years of age.....he is that slow and he has natural IQ and court vision that you cant learn
Ernest Frigelj never a hater dude, this vid was why this guy playing against B and C rate competition should be the first pick over guys who play against NBA players and thrive .Yes you must have the mental component but without the physical how far can your guy Go? If he was on the Spurs in that system id give him a chance at being a very good player. But he's not and in case you dont know the 3position is one of THEE toughest positions in the league .i hope he's exciting and successful (the league needs new stars ) but I wouldn't bet on it, I don't buy the hype about any European player because 9 times out of 10 they never are as good as advertised.
Sid Morgan I mean we cant tell how good will he be or what he will become....but there hasnt been such player in europe since Drazen Petrovic....and he isnt that unathletic as ppl present him....i think he will be good player from the start and he has potential to develop to very good player and with luck (injuries, team....) great player.....its hard for Eu players to become stars in NBA so I dont think Doncic will get to that status
Doncic is nice but I feel like hes gonna be a star, but not a superstar. I think he'll average 20,5 and 5 in a couple of years. I think theres a dark horse in the draft thats gonna be better than that.
Reggie Stockton he's too good of a basketball player. He'll be a taller James harden. He's the best player in Europe at age 18. He's physically and mentally ready for the NBA. He's too skilled and good of a ball player. He fits perfect for today NBA
I think he could be great if everything plays out well, but I dont see it as a certainty like everyone else does. I think the most thats guaranteed out of him is a solid star player. And the league he's in is good, but the play style is different. I wouldn't compare him to james harden. James harden has speed and handles, idk if doncic has that. Doncic can pass and shoot, but he's not gonna be some triple double machine like james harden. Idk how good doncic's defense is either, probably average. Hes probably a better defender than harden is already hahaha
Everybody stop the nonsense saying doncic is better than ayton. The man shot 45% from the field while shooting 30% from 3 and averaged 14.5 points per game, 5.2 rebounds per game, and 4.6 assists per game. Meanwhile ayton is shooting at 61% and 34% from 3 and averaging 20.1 points per game, 11.6 rebounds per game, and 1.6 assists per game. Plus even though sometimes he doesn't have the best off ball defensive instincts, he's still a far better defender than doncic is and will ever be and he has all the tools to be one of the best defenders in the league. At worst he's another Karl Anthony towns, at best he's embiid except healthy, younger and will end up the better player of the 2
kevi86 yes I did and what's gonna happen is that when he gets to the NBA he won't be averaging even those mediocre numbers he did in the euroleague while ayton who does have elite athleticism, size, and strength even for an NBA player will put up those same percentages with around the same amount of rebounds but maybe a slight reduction in points, just sayin😏
kevi86 u make it sound like fiba rules make the game so much more different that comparing the two is stupid. And next time u make an assumption u should think twice cuz I do know what fiba rules r
I dont see Doncic even having potential to be an all-star in the nba. Cant dribble. Below avg athleticism compared to nba players. Cant guard onball, offball or in the post. Will Cain is attention seeking with this clout chasing nonsense 👎
Brian Tannenbaum not enough handle to create a shot for himself or teammates against starting wing defenders on game by game basis. Nah. i dont see it. He looks good in that league but its levels to it. His ceiling to me is manu ginobli if he keeps progressing.
Overrated player and league. He avgs 14pts and thats domination? Luka cant shoot while defended, he cant get free in the half court, he cant defend any position on the court, luka defense is TRASH! However many are concerned with Aytons Defense.
brian henry take over? Who tf was in the finals & who’s the mvp? Quality over quantity but it’s still more Americans in the nba all we did is just stole the style from Europe & stole the best players #BoonkGang 🤷🏽♂️
He has that average in like 24 minutes per game and not 48.Against grow men.In nba he will have much better statistics because of Europe strictly rules.I think in his rookie season he is the guy for like 20 points,9 asists and 6 rebounds on the average.I think those numbers are very realistic and maybe even a bit to low.He could average double double actually.In rookie season that is.
Not really, most european picks turn out well, a lot of them even get picked way too low (porzingis, giannis, dirk, jokic, dragic, gobert, parker, gasol etc.)
Luka is the only top prospect that can play 4 positions and has the competitive nature of Boogie, or Westbrook. The kind of guy that can't handle losing and will win at all costs. Having that, and the ball IQ to be able to see those other ways to win, is a special special thing. And having 10 pounds on Paul George at 19 years old and being a legitimate point guard don't hurt either. Luka is a physical monster.
1st pick doesn't mean best... It means being fit for the 1st pick team, and in this case, the Suns need a reliable 5 that can stretch. They've already got a star level guard in Booker.
Bamba or doncic should go number one, one of them is going to be remembered as the best player of the draft. If Ayton goes first he will be remembered as the biggest bust since Anthony Benett. Bamba’s basketball iq is off the charts, and doncic is the most skilled and talented player. Ayton has almost reached his full potential at this point. Remember this comment in 8 years.
CODPIMPS4210 u realize that ayton has a better jumper and more skills than mo bamba and the only "hole" in his game is that he didn't have the best off ball defensive instincts and occasionally got beat by guards when he got switched onto them so no, ayton will certainly not be a bust, let alone to Anthony Bennetts level and at worst he's Karl Anthony towns but his upside and potential is higher than both doncic and mo bamba
Mason Ethington here’s what you failed to understand. Mo bamba’s basketball is thru the roof. He is going to develop far more than Ayton. The team that picks ayton before bamba will forever be remembered as the team that passed on mo bamba, mark my words. Remember this comment in 10 years
CODPIMPS4210 well I'm a sun's fan and I feel like ayton is the right player that will put us in championship contention once he and Booker r in their prime and the warriors and everybody else is out of the picture. However maybe ur right and mo bamba becomes the better player but as of right now my money's on ayton😏
Mason Ethington for ayton it’s fine, cuz we are just trying to build around Booker, so if he doesn’t end up being the best player of his draft that’s totally fine. but i do see him being a very very great player.
Jackson is 18 and is near 7 feet tall. Great shot blocker and shot 40% from the College three point line. I'm taking him if I'm going to pass on Ayton.
Deandre Ayton: I'll be pick nr. 1!
Marvin Bagley III: I'll be pick nr. 1!
Jaren Jackson jr.: I'll be pick nr. 1!
Mo Bamba: I'll be pick nr. 1!
Michael Porter jr.: I'll be pick nr. 1!
Luka Dončić: winning championships.
Sssaga Benches and MVP
Key word is European it’s the same league retired players and g league players dominate. His championship and mvp means absolutely nothing in the NBA
@
Tyre Jackson
He won the euro championship though beating Spain and Serbia on their way.
Do you believe that american college teams will beat pro european teams ?
Tyre Jackson There is not one College team that could beat Real Madrid and there are a lot of NBA teams that couldn't beat Real Madrid. Trash talk all you want but Doncic has been playing guys who are much older, more experienced and stronger than him and he's been winning while being the MVP.
Ummm, but he's also being paid to play over there; so yeah these one and done guys do want to get paid. Sorry guards come around a lot more often look at the league, it's dominated by guards. If you need and want a big this is the draft to get them.
Real Madrid in Barcelona. Americans knowing nothing of the world and being proud of it
Real Madrid is in Barcelona the city
And Barcelona FC is in Madrid the city
Caleb Montiel hahahahahahahaha yeah LA is in Boston hahahahahaahaha Barcelona is Catalonian 😂😂😂😂
Americans thought college basketball is better than euroleague just because it’s in America fucking fools so racists. Hmm I thought America was from native Americans hmmm
then why is it called MADRID, why isn't it called BARCELONA !!!! Imbecils, Madrid is the capital of Spain. Are you really THAT stupid.
This video aged like fine wine...
What about now
@@510cookiemonster lmao suns definitely regretting that
Was the mvp in the second best league in the world and he 18-19 smh it’s a shame he overlooked
I wouldn't say the projected 2nd pick is overlooked
Lil Dagga the dude dickrided goron dragic the whole way. And name me a player he went against thats better than ayton
Dom B kristaps Porzingis, got buckets over his 7’3 ass
Dom B he was the MVP in the euroleague when Dragic is in the NBA, eurobasket is a completely different thing

That's like saying the LA Lakers in Boston 😂
How can this guy form an opinion when he doesn't even know the god damn teams
Caleb Montiel Real Madrid is a Madrid based club Barcelona is a Catalonian based club 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"From Real Madrid Barcelona" ?
Loooool
haha he instantly lost any credibility for that, i mean if you say something like that with a straight face..
Straight dumb but a little credit though, I can't name anyone from Barcelona better than him so...
*Luka Doncic is too busy winning championships for your silly NBA Draft workouts*
Yeah...
Typical dude who doesn't watches him play and only seeks stats. Murican way i guess. Also, you lie about his stats. Check again ;)
lol he's the MVP of the whole competition. One of his teammates is a friend of mine (Causeur) so I watched him a lot. This kid is special.
u mudder pucker ofc, that's why he was the mvp of the euro league at 19 ? Ayton is an amazing prospect so i understands why he could be taken 1 but it's ridiculous how even when facts are thrown to them some people are still going to say dumb shit
u mudder pucker 8 points including dagger 3 to seal the deal. Something none of the prospects did
Lavar Ball most college teams don't have any future nba players. Ayton lost to buffulo, a team with no nba players. This "subpar" basketball level is clearly way better than the garbage that is college basketball.
Luka Doncic and Devin Booker would be just crazy...But Pheonix you will choose Ayton and after cry about your choice. Trust me.
MC KEN L Ayton>>Luca
Doncic is gonna be a bust
Ugly gods Lips explain to me why he will be a bust
Basic bust crier.
That's exactly what is going to happen
Will Cain looking real smart right now.
Luka Doncic Is SPECIAL
S - 7
P - 8
E - 6
C - 9
I - 10
A - 5
L - 7
I mean, these are workable stats... but he would need some good equipment.
Plus, he would need to level up quickly.
Brandon Lyon yes
only when he plays against euro talent... this whole, 2nd best players in the world thing is BS, college basketball is by far more competitive than euro league...
Josh the NBA is the absolute cream of the crop of college guys. Take those guys, develop them for a couple years further with NBA facilities and personal, and most of the time they're still not good enough. Then they go play in Europe, and STILL don't dominate. THAT'S Euro ball. Please explain how NCAA is superior competition.
LOL
this aged well
He plays in Real Madrid, MADRID!
This video has aged quite well. Will Cain was 100% spot on.
Damn he actually got it right out of everyone
This aged well...
I'm starting to like Will Cain more and more every day - Nice prediction Will!!!
I compare doncic to harden. Crafty, beat people with skill rather than athleticism, can shoot, pass - great secondary ball handler on a good team.
I think Doncic plays better as the PG role than Harden. Harden can pass and all, but his game sense is subpar in that area. He takes almost the whole shot clock before passing. I think Doncic simply distributes better.
Larry bird + Magic Johnson combined.
I like the comparison hadn't thought about that, harden really isn't going to blow you away with his first step but somehow that mfer always gets to the rim!
Rok Fabiani no 😂😂😂😂
Hahahaahha are you comparing an All-Star with a bust? Damn im dead
Looks like he was right
This right here is just another reason why Will is the premier analyst on ESPN. He is ahead of the game.
Look at what Doncic is doing as a TEENAGER!!
This aged well .
I'm here after Luka win his first game in playoffs
I would be nervous drafting a big man over a swing man especially in this modern nba. Remember Sam Bowie over Michael Jordan, Remember Greg Oden over Kevin Durant, Remember Darko Milicic over D.Wade and Carmelo Anthony.
Ayton said he's the best competitor in the draft...bruhh then y u got blown out by BUFFALO in the FIRST ROUND of the NCAA tournament
Luka Doncic is too busy winning championships for your silly NBA Draft workouts
Blaise Edwards Did you watch the game? Sean MiLLer put Ayton in a horrible position making him switch. Buffalo played great defense on the P&R. Don’t talk if you not even watched the hame
Did I watch?? I picked Arizona to win it all! They had the best player in the country and lost by 30 to Buffalo?? It was clear who the more competitive team was. Ayton was only concerned about getting to the draft.
@@blaiseedwards2272 it really pathetic a number 1 pick would lose to Buffalo by 30. Lost by 1 would be less patheltic.
Ayton is 100% lying "I give max effort on both ends of the floor" try playing defense then
Jumbo Chambers 2 blocks per game lol you're a clown
He must of meant in the second half when teams change ends....that can be the only logical explanation.
HumbleRumble 420 So your a good defender because you block shots now?? What a dumbass, you dont even understand defense
yeah, but maybe his max isn't enough ;)
HumbleRumble 420 2 blocks vs 18-22 year olds wow how impressive
Ayton is just Kat on steroids will be a great player but a bum defensively
Green Runs Deep kat is a much better shooter
David Price nigga aytons shooting will develop, fuck ppl are so fuckn literate, you know damm well wtf he meant
Raul Slaggings stfu
Raul Slaggings mommy forgot to change ur diaper?
Green Runs Deep Which games have you watched Ayton play? AZ plays man-2-man only and he’s had to switch out on smaller guards and wings majority of the games and moves feet great laterally, length disrupts shooters, and can block anyone. At times instincts are not on point on weak side help, but if you really watched him play his defense is fine and will only get better. As long as he stays away from injury and other distractions off court like any other suddenly multi-millionaire teen he’s gonna be special in the league.
Obviously take Luka, it is proven that in the modern NBA, CENTERS can't lead a team to win a championship but guess what, guards and forwards CAN. What did the KAT in this playoff?(which btw, is a center that can actually shoot the ball) I tell you, nothing. Maybe Doncic is not going to be a super-star but he'll be a good starter for most of the teams in the league 15 years from now, so the real question here is : take a guy that already showed he can play or take someone that has potential but there is a chance he'll never reach his best? The answer is obvious.
What exactly do you mean by "modern nba"? Tim Duncan was arguably the best player of the 2000's and lead his team to 5 championships. The lakers enjoyed their most dominant years behind Shaq and would only rise to prominence again with the additions of Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum. Kevin Garnett was the anchor for the Celtics and a prime Dwight Howard lead Orlando to a finals appearance. The only teams who have enjoyed success without dominant bigs have had ALL TIME GREAT TALENT on their squads.
From the Miami heat of the early 2010's to the now dominant Golden State dynasty all featured transcendent all time greats. Do you honestly believe Luka has the same level of talent, athleticism or upside as a Lebron James or the scoring ability of a Stephen Curry? Not only is Ayton the better choice, he's the SAFER choice. You don't draft players you think will just be "a good starter for most of the teams in the league 15 years from now" when you have a top 5 pick; you want an all star or a potential hall of famer.
Yea, potential hall of famer, good joke, next Okafor or Bennett, you'll see him in euroleague probably in 2-3 years, oh wait, actually Bennett was fired by an euroleague team, hahaha. And for real, you wrote here a lot of intelligent stuff and you can't figure out what "modern NBA" means? Also, " Ayton the better choice, he's the SAFER choice" even Jackson and Bamba are and will be better players than Ayton ;) peace
The shift in focus by today's NBA front offices with drafting, team building and style of play is effectively chasing fools gold. The Golden state warriors effectiveness is a historical aberration. The foundational draft pieces that built their dynasty are two of THE GREATEST SHOOTERS IN NBA HISTORY. The only NBA teams that come to mind that didn't have dominant big men and won in the last thirty years have featured TOP TEN ALL TIME GREATS. Lebron James and the Miami Heat. The 2010's Warriors. Michael Jordan and the 1990's bulls. Drafting a quality big man will 9/10 times be the safer and more fruitful selection unless you're talking about a guy that can DOMINATE from the perimeter.
I personally don't see Luka being that level of transcendent talent in the NBA and it's no surprise that the rebuilding Suns and the Kings went with players who will yield an immediate return on investment.
Man, we all know they don’t like him cuz he’s white. I was looking at the 2019 mock draft and look what I’ve found, a guy from France ( which is black btw) called Sakou Doumbouya. This guy is playing in the 2nd league of France averaging 8 ppg, 4 rebounds and 1 assist and he is projected no.3 pick. Btw, France doesn’t have a team in Euroleague that’s how good they are and this guy play in 2nd division not even first one. Yea it’s true that this kid might fall in 1 year or become a really solid player but still, a white guy that is winning literally everything in Europe almost dropped out of top 3 this year...fuck logic :)
lol AND THERE IT IS. Do you honestly believe that NBA franchises and the league as a whole wouldn't be ecstatic about having a bonafide white, European superstar? The NBA is aspiring to be a GLOBAL BRAND; think of how many millions of dollars in revenue Luka would potentially generate domestically and internationally if he turned out to be the next major player in basket ball. The league wants superstars from all corners of the world. NBA teams typically don't draft based on a player accomplishments in their careers. They draft based primarily on talent, UPSIDE, roster need, and measurables while faintly considering career success. Kyrie Irving played only 11 games and missed roughly two-thirds of his freshman season at duke due to injury. He then went first overall and has been an all NBA caliber player and an NBA champion. Winning everything in Europe doesn't mean much when the very best players across the globe (including the best European players) play in the NBA.
Will took a big W on this one
Suns gonna pull something crazy on draft night..
SE7EN1NE7ES Going to trade for Kawhi!
I come from the future to tell you not to get your hopes up.
they sure did pull something crazy. Crazy Stupid by not picking Luka.
Imagine getting Ayton and now he gets a 25 ban bc of drug consumption YIKES
I hate watching this year's mock drafts but This does put a smile on my face
you guys dont understand...ACB is the 2nd best league in the world. Euro League is even better than that, with THE BEST teams from all over Europe coming together for a soccer like CHAMPIONS tournament. If the champions league of basketball was an actual league system, like conferences, it would be MUCH better than ACB, and he was MVP of that! Also, the European (nations) Championship is the best players from each country, like the World Cup, where Doncic basically took Iceland or Wales and won the whole thing at 18, first try.
i'd take Doncic too. I would not touch Porter at all though. That's just me
porter may go 2nd to Sac, if he doesn't go there, he'll go to Orlando at 6
Porter has the most upside. This draft does not have a sure fire pick. This would be the draft where you’d be most comfortable taking a risk on the most talented and best NBA fit player in the draft. If Porter is there past the first two picks, teams would be idiots not to risk it.
Good cause Bulls taking Porter
don't y'all all look real stupid
DFLOW's NBA Talk annnd he goes 14th...
“From Real Madrid in Barcelona” aaaaaaaand YOU PLAYED YOURSELF
If ayton defense is like okafor then they should consider Luka or mo Bamba
It's not like Okafor
it is actually that bad with the only difference is Ayton has "the tools" to be a good defender
Lmfao hahahahahaha, don’t compare this dingo to Okafor lmfao good one
Once again will cain is easily the smartest of the analysts
First time completely agreeing with will
8 months later, we knew whose the ROY
The Suns should pick him, Kokoskov already knows him and was his key player for Slovenia’s first Eurobasket title. Doncic & Booker is the next “Klay and Curry” duo legacy.
Nick Ronaldo L
I feel that, its the euro connection
What a dumbass. “Curry and klay”. Are you high
Jason Young two players who can just shoot lol they werent kobe or shaq or scptty and jordan
Nick Ronaldo luka shot 30% from 3 lol. He’s not even high school Steph.
And here we are....Luka Doncic doing his thing...good call Cain
The Yi Jianlian part sound a bit racist but we have admit he is right on the money.
Charles is bias with bigs tbh
He's a fool though. Honest guy but a fool nonetheless.
Charles has an eye for talent but he tends to lean on more local talent than international
Watch him in the 2012 bbva rising star challenge draft he got almost 80%of the talent right
Im glad im a football fan thats how i learned geography. If not i would've belief will cain when he said real madrid was in barcelona lmao
0:14 Cain: Real Madrid in Barcelona, I hope no Spaniards or Catalans are watching this
JayBeeLT unfortunately we are
I have been a Barca fan for soo long that it almost gave me a heart attack when he showed his level of ignorance
We know Phoenix will take doncic because Phoenix just hired doncic’s former coach. Do you think that was just a coincidence? Also, the nba is now a more guard dominated league. This is like Durant/Oden all over again. Phoenix should take doncic.
John Snow I think as a Sun's fan we should draft Deandre Ayton. In my opinion.
John Snow - Oden, Lol. You dumb.
John Snow oden was a beast that got hurt constantly with degenerative knees. Ayton doesn't have that issue lmao.
I feel like if they have the opportunity then they should trade down and pick Mo Bamba
HumbleRumble 420 I like ayton more because the suns need a center they already have a top young player at the sg position in booker
Finally someone who gets it.
Rudy Gobert is the best center in the NBA. Anyone who truly watches basketball and understands the game knows that he completely alters the other teams's offense due to his length and defense. As an avid Jazz fan, Donovan is our best player but Rudy is our most important. Our entire team strategy is built on Rudy guarding the paint so the wings and guards can defend their man. Defense isn't sexy but it wins games. People always count us out because we aren't a big market. So hey, if Bamba can be anything like Rudy then that franchise is getting a huge defensive asset.
when all sides are healthy, I'd still take Boogie Cousins and it's not even close
😂😂😂 Rudy can’t even catch the ball, has zero post game he only scores off lobs and put backs. Best defensive center yes but not best center that’s cousins hands down
Carson Redford the best center is Joel Embiid and the Best big man is Anthony Davis hell I’ll pick Clint capela over Rudy Gobert he can’t guard the perimeter
Owen Schneider cousins injuredprone no defense cancer to every team nobody can play with cousins and he's a crybaby tho
From my understanding we strictly speaking fundamentals. with that said, Numbers don't lie, look up Cousins numbers since he entered the league. do your research, Boogie's a beast! 😤
Suns options are:
1. Draft on your lacking position
2. Draft the guy with most potential to be an all nba team or even a super star
For me its a no brainer. The fact that there are rumours that Spurs are ready to trade Kawhi for that number 1 pick and Doncic should be a decent sign for his quality.
At the end of the day, mentality is what counts and what makes the best players to rise above all else. People understanding psychology could spot some pretty big difference between Ayton and Doncic. When ask about their potential, draft position:
Ayton: I am not going to say that I am the best but ... I am best and should be number 1(paraphrasing).
Doncic: I dont know. I suppose we would see after one year If teams made a mistake passing me or not. I know that I would give my best(paraphrasing)
Ayton obviosly has stardom inside his head which is a very big and sharp knife. The major problem for people with that mentality is that there is a big chance that reality wont meet thе super image inside their head. Once that happens, most often than not you crumble under the pressure and you need some pretty strong mentality to overcome it. From the interviews that I saw from this kid ... IMO he doesnt have that strenght.
Doncic on the other hand had walk on this path in the past three years. He knows the pressure, cope with it and got the experience to reach the next level. He knows that the world is not black and white and no mather how good he think he is ... something could go against him. Once you accepted that idea, you are more capable of overcoming hard times and challenges. You dont expect immediately to score 30 and people to talk about it, you just want to go out there and give your best. This is a strong foundation for superstar. If I can see that, major scouts with years of experience while gettting milion dollars paychecks should also be able to see it.
Pick Ayton with first pick and trade up for Doncic and Suns will be the team with brightest future.
Will Cain is crazy lol no way Luca is the best player in this draft no fucking way. The things he’s doing in Europe can’t be ignored and that’s why he’s going Top 5. The fact that a 19 year old won the Euroleague mvp tells the story of the competition over there.
I'm actually really looking forward to Luka not being the no1 pick...
cuz he's wining ROTY easily, mark my words
You fucking high as fuck lol
@@ivansalazar6723 guess he wasnt..
He called it
Porter, jackson, antetekumpo, doncic is are gonna be steals. Ayton will be good, but not on boogie or embiids level..
ima make a "who will be the biggest steal of this draft" type vid
And Dallas got 2 of these! Were building a great team through the draft, now we just need to add a couple more pieces and boom greatness!
I was watching the on the clock show on ESPN earlier. They said that Drew Hanlen has been training him for the last two and a half months. He’s getting a real jump shot. Drew Hanlen is the best, in my opinion, shooting coach in the world. Bamba has went from being so raw offensively and so limited to actually having a legitimate shot to be a great offensive player for a 4 or 5 guy. One that can step out and shoot the three pointer consistently. That’s scary. He’s got the work ethic too.
I would take Ayton if I was Phoenix. His upside is ridiculous, and he's a 'hometown' boy, and they need a centre. I think Doncic is getting underrated, and there is a very good chance he ends up being the best player in the draft, but for the Suns, Deandre for sure. If a different team had the first pick, then it would be an interesting convo.
Truth. I'm not buying Ayton as a franchise cornerstone player
It’s because luka isn’t black. Admit it, that’s the truth.
Noname I think everyone knows it lol. What's the ceiling for nonblack, Foreign players? Dirk Nowitsky? Ginobili? Not worth the risk
Lol if he's black he wouldn't even be in the top 3 discussion. Every good Caucasian player is glorified by media narrative, welcome to American sports media
exactly
stfu he's a consensus top 3 pick
Will kkkain
This like it should be me the 1st pick in my draft class
Most white people want phx to pick luka but the facts of the matter is we need a center not another guard
Hitman X your race card is declined lol
lol Ayton is a beast, and your centers suck ass so i agree with this. Defensively though, Ayton won't be able to move against a guy like Porzingis or anyone who can shoot 3's
DFLOW's NBA Talk I respect your basketball knowledge but nobody in this draft can stop KP to be fair
i am white and i think that phx needs a Center.
Stop with the white people garbage. A lot of people including blacks want Luka over Ayton. Phoenix does need a Center, but at the same time Ayton isn't going to offer you defense, as his game simply isn't there yet. He has potential to be a good defender, but his mentality of willing to defend isn't. I think people look at the current NBA and see that you need wing players to be successful. Booker is good and will continue to get better, but I think people see that the game is now won based on who shoots the three better.
Will cain deserves credit cuz he saw it before many others that luka is no.1💯
Will cain trollin
TorranceJPlaylist was he really tho
Ayton is easily the best prospect in this class. It's not close.
L
I would still pick Ayton lmao.
_ raindrops me too
_ raindrops y
_ raindrops never take a center first in today’s nba especially one that doesn’t play defense
Why? Doncic remember this comment he’s the beast. Yeah ayton is good but for that size? No good
OfInterest You say that as if defense cant develop in him. Smh
Will Cain is smart
Deandre Ayton #1 pick don't @ me
yep and will underperformed . he wont bust but will be overshadowed
HumbleRumble 420 doncic is way better choice
HumbleRumble 420
I agree but that doesn’t mean hes better than doncic
Alex Blais No fucking way lol
- Slz At this point all your are doing is spreading hate towards Doncic without clear evidence...sad, really
Tim Shea say: He's "Cool Hand Luke" and like Paul Newman - underrated.
“Pick the white guy!!!!!”
Anthony Broaddus what? So racist. white or black? Black guy dies on the street white guy protest. When trump don’t like black guys the black protest. The fucking cycle goes on even in the nba, European players can’t play ball because they are from euroleague. Full of shit.
HAHAHAAHHAHAHA
Wasn't too white to ball up Porzingod at 18 years old.
Sean Moore Doncic team Real Madrid beat OKC in a global game in 2016
João Lopes There's a legitimate reason for it and science behind it and I can explain if you're really interested. Its kind of fucked up, but makes total sense.
Doncic is the only player who has faced against Russel Westbrook in the court when Real Madrid beat Oklahoma 2 years ago
Heard the same bs about darko played against grown men then came here and pissed his pants
Darko played in an average team of Serbian league. Doncic is best player in the best team of Europe. Quite a difference to be honest. But sure, Doncic can be a bust as well, but so can be anyone, how many new Shaq's and Hakeem's have you seen coming from NCAA? There are much more American top picks than Europeans and there are much more American busts than Europeans. How come you only remember Darko? You can have your opinion about players, only time can tell, but saying that he'll be a bust because Darko was a bust is stupid. He played higher level in Europe than Dirk or Kristaps or any other white boys out there.
P.S. I'm not saying that he must be #1 pick, just saying that the boy is good and don't hate on him.
Darko was fucked by that psycho Jerry Brown.
Jerry destroyed Darko confidence forever.
Darko should not have been draftet by Detroit. If he hade fallen to 20-30 pick and hade a good coach like Greg Popovich then i think Darko would have been great.
Bilups talket about how Darko is kicking ass on workouts..but that bastard Jerry destroyed everything.
such a shame.
Michael Petrovich you mean Larry Brown?
O shit. Did i say Jerry Brown? Yes....You are right...Larry Brown who is a good coach but not for Darko.
At 19yo Luka is already an MVP n a Champion against Men older than him in tough Euro league.
Of course Will Cain would think Luka Doncic is the top pick in the draft lol
of course a black guy like you wants to take a another bust black player as the number 1 pick. How did last years black number 1 player turn out????????
brian henry It had nothing to do with race more than it had to do with Will Cain not knowing much about basketball but since you took it there how Euro players in the top 3 picks I won’t even say top pick worked out?
Tariq Ansari most euros aren't picked in the top 3, cause of the uknown. But forget the order they were even picked, euros seem to have a much higher rate of success lately, which shows basketball is improving overseas and it's only going to continue. Don't even bring up darko, cause for every darko, there are countless fultzs.
Tariq Ansari also luka is the most accomplished euro prospect ever, but Cain doesn't know anything. I guess your the expert that they all should go to, some guy on youtube lol
brian henry I wasn’t gonna bring up Darko at all. Have Euro players gotten better? Absolutely but he himself is not a top pick. He can play but he’s not changing anybody’s franchise he’ll be better on a team that’s right outside of the playoffs not a team that needs their fortune changed
I remember watching Michael Portor playing with the Tolton Catholics and putting 50 points through the rim! Guy should be a top 3 pick
Ok you can have your darko I'll take ayton
high school and college basketball sucks
I Graham - We taking Ayton for sure but don't get it twisted, Doncic is no Darko lol
No he is not , but he not a freakest athletic
Dennis Bergkamp. Honestly no. I haven't seen much of him but scouts said the same about darko with the same amount of scouting so.. Safe to say that he's darko 2.0 at best. I really hope he proves me wrong.
Don’t compare ayton with darco!!!!!
Darco was chosen by the piston who were champion contenteding team and they didn’t even develop darco to his potential
While doncic is a while another level bro he’s the youngest and plays Euro league the second best bball in the world. Not American college basketball. Fun fact imagine American basketball vs euroleague. The gap of te score double digits euroleague wins.
Yeah ayton is good but for the Phoenix they need a pg or a play maker.
this guy obviously doesnt know what he's talking about. Real Madrid in Barcelona... thats like saying Los Angeles in Massachusetts
You'll barely hear LD name in a few years, he's not a Superstar or even close.
we will see
Because as you said MVP of the SECOND best league not the best, secondly he's slow as molasses going up a tree in January, NBA athletes will erase most of his opportunities. 3rd Toni Kukoc.
You are just hater......yea but he is MVP of SECOND best league at 19 years of age.....he is that slow and he has natural IQ and court vision that you cant learn
Ernest Frigelj never a hater dude, this vid was why this guy playing against B and C rate competition should be the first pick over guys who play against NBA players and thrive .Yes you must have the mental component but without the physical how far can your guy Go? If he was on the Spurs in that system id give him a chance at being a very good player. But he's not and in case you dont know the 3position is one of THEE toughest positions in the league .i hope he's exciting and successful (the league needs new stars ) but I wouldn't bet on it, I don't buy the hype about any European player because 9 times out of 10 they never are as good as advertised.
Sid Morgan I mean we cant tell how good will he be or what he will become....but there hasnt been such player in europe since Drazen Petrovic....and he isnt that unathletic as ppl present him....i think he will be good player from the start and he has potential to develop to very good player and with luck (injuries, team....) great player.....its hard for Eu players to become stars in NBA so I dont think Doncic will get to that status
Luka doncic is by far the best player in this draft. Had he played in the ncaa this year this wouldn't even be a question
Doncic is nice but I feel like hes gonna be a star, but not a superstar. I think he'll average 20,5 and 5 in a couple of years. I think theres a dark horse in the draft thats gonna be better than that.
Reggie Stockton he's too good of a basketball player. He'll be a taller James harden. He's the best player in Europe at age 18. He's physically and mentally ready for the NBA. He's too skilled and good of a ball player. He fits perfect for today NBA
By dark you mean black? You racist!
:D
I think he could be great if everything plays out well, but I dont see it as a certainty like everyone else does. I think the most thats guaranteed out of him is a solid star player. And the league he's in is good, but the play style is different. I wouldn't compare him to james harden. James harden has speed and handles, idk if doncic has that. Doncic can pass and shoot, but he's not gonna be some triple double machine like james harden. Idk how good doncic's defense is either, probably average. Hes probably a better defender than harden is already hahaha
Everybody stop the nonsense saying doncic is better than ayton. The man shot 45% from the field while shooting 30% from 3 and averaged 14.5 points per game, 5.2 rebounds per game, and 4.6 assists per game. Meanwhile ayton is shooting at 61% and 34% from 3 and averaging 20.1 points per game, 11.6 rebounds per game, and 1.6 assists per game. Plus even though sometimes he doesn't have the best off ball defensive instincts, he's still a far better defender than doncic is and will ever be and he has all the tools to be one of the best defenders in the league. At worst he's another Karl Anthony towns, at best he's embiid except healthy, younger and will end up the better player of the 2
lol did you just compare stats from kids league (ncaa) to Euroleage? Luka would average like 30/10/10 in ncaaa with his size and skills.
kevi86 yes I did and what's gonna happen is that when he gets to the NBA he won't be averaging even those mediocre numbers he did in the euroleague while ayton who does have elite athleticism, size, and strength even for an NBA player will put up those same percentages with around the same amount of rebounds but maybe a slight reduction in points, just sayin😏
you know nothing about fiba rules, so just stop commenting and comparing, you just sound stupid.
Ayton can't get pasted Buffalo in the NCAA and Doncic is the champion and MVP of Euroleague 😏.
kevi86 u make it sound like fiba rules make the game so much more different that comparing the two is stupid. And next time u make an assumption u should think twice cuz I do know what fiba rules r
Mavs got a huge steal with Dennis Smith at 9 last year. This year they get a insane steal getting Luka. They’ll be very fun to watch
I dont see Doncic even having potential to be an all-star in the nba. Cant dribble. Below avg athleticism compared to nba players. Cant guard onball, offball or in the post. Will Cain is attention seeking with this clout chasing nonsense 👎
Q EASY can’t dribble ??
Brian Tannenbaum not enough handle to create a shot for himself or teammates against starting wing defenders on game by game basis. Nah. i dont see it. He looks good in that league but its levels to it. His ceiling to me is manu ginobli if he keeps progressing.
Q EASY you saw one couple highlights if you werent watching his whole season or most of it then stfu
subaru sti07 #boo👎 nice try. He's not the first second or top 5 player in this draft, and thats short&long term #snapplefax
subaru sti07 Hey did you watch that 3 point floater he made today? Ofcourse guy above doesn't know what he's talking about.
I was so shocked when Michael Porter Jr. when he got drafted to the Denver Nuggets at No.14
Overrated player and league. He avgs 14pts and thats domination?
Luka cant shoot while defended, he cant get free in the half court, he cant defend any position on the court, luka defense is TRASH! However many are concerned with Aytons Defense.
Yet euros are starting to take over the league. LOL hate much?
brian henry take over? Who tf was in the finals & who’s the mvp? Quality over quantity but it’s still more Americans in the nba
all we did is just stole the style from Europe & stole the best players #BoonkGang 🤷🏽♂️
Meen Balla player with the highest vertical in this year's draft is white lol
He has that average in like 24 minutes per game and not 48.Against grow men.In nba he will have much better statistics because of Europe strictly rules.I think in his rookie season he is the guy for like 20 points,9 asists and 6 rebounds on the average.I think those numbers are very realistic and maybe even a bit to low.He could average double double actually.In rookie season that is.
Ha haahhaha
This man just said Real Madrid in Barcelona
Luka has bust written all over him
Nate Wond, do you have bust written all over you? Lol
Do you even know who he is? Have you ever seen a euroleague game?
and you have Ls written all over you
Yeah, biggest bust of all time lol
I'm not a hater he definitely got skills , but yall talking like he the best thing going .He averaged 14 ppg in Europe . That's special?
Real Madrid in Barcelona is literally the same as saying "L.A. Lakers in New York" !!!
Porzingod turn out okay for the Knicks but overseas good players are still rare.
Not really, most european picks turn out well, a lot of them even get picked way too low (porzingis, giannis, dirk, jokic, dragic, gobert, parker, gasol etc.)
How am I supposed to take this man's opinion seriously when he says Doncic played in Real Madrid in Barcelona.
Nailed it
He said exactly what I was thinking
Luka is the only top prospect that can play 4 positions and has the competitive nature of Boogie, or Westbrook. The kind of guy that can't handle losing and will win at all costs. Having that, and the ball IQ to be able to see those other ways to win, is a special special thing. And having 10 pounds on Paul George at 19 years old and being a legitimate point guard don't hurt either. Luka is a physical monster.
Will Cain was finally right about something
I see u Will Cain with 80k views 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Will Was right👀
Charles Barkley is an Entertainer not an analyst stop it
He said real Madrid in Barcelona 😂😂😂
First smart thing Will said this year...
Luka is Larry bird 2.0
1st pick doesn't mean best... It means being fit for the 1st pick team, and in this case, the Suns need a reliable 5 that can stretch. They've already got a star level guard in Booker.
It means BEST.
Bamba or doncic should go number one, one of them is going to be remembered as the best player of the draft. If Ayton goes first he will be remembered as the biggest bust since Anthony Benett. Bamba’s basketball iq is off the charts, and doncic is the most skilled and talented player. Ayton has almost reached his full potential at this point. Remember this comment in 8 years.
CODPIMPS4210 u realize that ayton has a better jumper and more skills than mo bamba and the only "hole" in his game is that he didn't have the best off ball defensive instincts and occasionally got beat by guards when he got switched onto them so no, ayton will certainly not be a bust, let alone to Anthony Bennetts level and at worst he's Karl Anthony towns but his upside and potential is higher than both doncic and mo bamba
Mason Ethington here’s what you failed to understand. Mo bamba’s basketball is thru the roof. He is going to develop far more than Ayton. The team that picks ayton before bamba will forever be remembered as the team that passed on mo bamba, mark my words. Remember this comment in 10 years
CODPIMPS4210 well I'm a sun's fan and I feel like ayton is the right player that will put us in championship contention once he and Booker r in their prime and the warriors and everybody else is out of the picture. However maybe ur right and mo bamba becomes the better player but as of right now my money's on ayton😏
Mason Ethington for ayton it’s fine, cuz we are just trying to build around Booker, so if he doesn’t end up being the best player of his draft that’s totally fine. but i do see him being a very very great player.
Yup and the other one as the new Darko Milicic ;)
Much higher level than NCAA, ja ja higher than many teams in the NBA.
the only legit thing will cain ever said
Jackson is 18 and is near 7 feet tall. Great shot blocker and shot 40% from the College three point line. I'm taking him if I'm going to pass on Ayton.
