Looks good
-
Doncic is a stud. One of the biggest questions was can he shoot well from NBA range three, and the answer so far is a resounding yes. Hard to believe the Hawks won’t end up regretting the Doncic-Young swap. Should have kept Schroeder and developed Doncic alongside.
-
Makes you wonder how good the Celtics would have been if the Philly pick conveyed and they would have selected Doncic. Oh what could have been.
-
This kid is amazing. I don't care that he doesn't look like an elite athlete. He knows how to play basketball. His skill level and court smarts are ridiculous.
The Mavs totally robbed the foolish Hawks on this one.
-
Such an obvious first pick. We all knew he was amazing before game 1.
-
So far the kid looks like he deserved every bit of the hype. Impressed.
-
He is really really good. Offensively, he remains me of Larry Legend. Great court vision and passing skills.

similar height weight and build, same slightly locked shoulders when he shoots the 3 as bird, same slight lack of athleticism, trick passes, good ability to rebound his own shot, etc
Bird 2.0
Kid Will enter his prime in 8-9 years. Imagine as he develops how much better he will be

he ball faked the reigning dpoy

D-Rose pulled the same move on Gobert in his 50 point game. I think the league has realized Gobert reacts very quickly to interior passing and that he can be faked out of position.
-
I try to watch some Mavs games, specifically to see him play. The kid is a stud. I was hoping Danny could have figured a way to trade up to get him.
BTW, his mom is a smoke show.
-
Thank god I got this kid in my keeper league.

Better keep Delonte West away from the Mavs.
-
Expected.
He was the best player in this draft 2 years ago for me.
I'm glad he is confirming it.
-
It pains me that he doesn't play for us, it I like the Mavs so I'm okay with it.
Truly special talent. I'd take him above Ben Simmons every day of the week

On the other side, Kings could have selected him and hurt the SAC pick’s high draft pick chances even more. :P
-
Ayton vs Doncic vs Trae should be an interesting running comparison.
I know Ayton is putting up good numbers for a big man in Phoenix, but is there any chance he impacts the game as much as Doncic, or even Trae?
Just feels like a just-okay defensive big man who puts up points at the rim, draws fouls, and gobbles rebounds but who doesn't have any range can only impact the game so much in today's league. You need big men to be great at protecting the rim or very skilled at passing and shooting.
-
Hawks regretting the trade? If Trae becomes a superstar and they hit with that mid lotto pick they absolutely won't, they may even look back on the trade as a win for them. People keep on forgetting that it's a likely lotto pick and Trae for Doncic. With that being said Doncic is amazing.
-
How come everyone fails to forget that Trae is so far 4th in assists?

Bird has a couple inches on Doncic, and a better rebounder (Bird averaged 10 boards for his career). Bird is arguably the best passing forward (maybe with Lebron) of all time so I won’t go there. Haha
-

Fails to forget? His passing has been much better than his shooting.

If he develops.
I am huge Doncic fan defending him when lot of people were calling him overrated and overhyped because he is European. But nobody can know till when a player develops his abilities and if he ll reach his potential. Look no further than the Celtics.
But he realy looks special.(not Bird special though)
-
Mavs have won 7 of their last 8 including wins over the Thunder (by 15), Utah (by 50), Golden State, Boston and Houston (by 20)... Doncic is ridiculous. Hilarious how over the Summer some Celtic fans acted like it was unspeakably crazy to trade Jaylen Brown for him.

I'd part with any Celtic for him, I just think it is a better deal.
Mavs got another Euro for the next 20 years.
I am sure there are some happy fans in Dallas.
Next summer give Don another wing, find a center of Mavs future and watch out.

The Phoenix Suns man. Those guys cannot take a trick.

Look, I am as big of a Jaylen fan as there is on this site, but this summer I would have thought long and hard if the deal was Brown for Luka straight up. I would have had to do it, and taken the "Euro risk." I feel that people get nervous about Euro prospects, regardless of their success over seas.

Nobody is forgetting this, it's just a lot of "ifs", just like "the process" in Philly.
-
How come everyone fails to forget that Trae is so far 4th in assists?
Because he can’t shoot a lick and isn’t much on defense.
Possibly also because the only time we really saw him was when the Hawks played the Cs and in that game he was a complete nonfactor. He made so many bad decisions in that game - early 28-foot heaves from 3. A Celtics d that has had real trouble containing even mediocre point guards shut him all the way down. Obviously, a one-game sample, but hard for us, if we aren’t hawks-watchers, to balance that.

I think that Trae is a great shooter.
Just needs some more sample size, exp, and better teammates.

Luka has made Dallas a really fun team to watch and he can score in all three areas. I think Doncic is the kind of player that really haunts the teams that pass on him.

Watching it live. Man, he's just so good at 19. I wish we had sold the farm for him. Our pieces don't snuggly fit together anyway, and he'd probably be the best player on the team within a season or two.

if The lakers pick conveyed at 2, Ainge would have likely grabbed Doncic imo

11 points in 2 minutes. He basically turned the game around all by himself. 19 years old and already leads his team in the clutch. Love this kid.

The more I watch the more Bird-esque his game looks. Dang it, would kill for him.
Once he cuts down on his turnovers he’ll be unstoppable.

Sick buzzer beater to force overtime at 2:08 of the video. Unfortunately for him, the Mavs lost the game.
23 points, 11 rebs, 6 assists, 1 t/o last night. I know the West is stacked and all, but he's already playing like an All-Star in my book.

Uh-huh. Trae will become a nice player but Doncic is a generational talent.

That play should never have worked. Down 3 with 0.6 seconds left the only thing the defense should have been defending was the 3. The out of bounds guy isn't a threat so its 5 on 4. Doncic was the only guy above the arc. He should have been double teamed.
I thought Doncic would be good but not this good, this early. His game is so mature for his age. It'll be interesting to see if he hits the rookie wall. 82 games is a tough grind but he should be more ready for it than college players.
-
Over his last eight games: 22.9 points, 6.8 boards, 7.4 dimes and 1.3 treys while going to the line 10.1 times per outing. That's all-star status, and he's still 19 years old for 2 more months.
-
Just as i predict before draft, if you want an perennial allstar take Doncic, if you want a potential superstar draft Bamba
I was so happy when stupid Kings passing on Him

Far out. He’s really on another level.
Best rookie season since Blake Griffin?
-
I love Dončić. (Don-tcheech)
But I'd love him even more if he was born some 100 km towards me.
He even has the soft letter Ć (ch) at the end of his surname. Something that is more in the spirit of Croatian tradition. Slovenian last names often finish on letter Č (tch), which has a sharper sound.
If all this makes any sense to you guys.

I think it's pretty cool that the Mavs ended up drafting the best Euro prospect in years right at the tail end of Dirk's career.

Man, centers have to be SO GOOD in order to be superstars in today's league.
You think Bamba is gonna shoot threes, pass, post-up, attack closeouts, protect the rim, and dominate the boards?
Rudy Gobert is pretty much the ideal version of a player like Bamba and I think he falls short of making a superstar impact.
-

Uh, what?
In what universe of NBA are you seeing to deduce that Bamba could become a superstar, but Doncic is only an Allstar?
-
Luka scored 34 points on 10/16 shooting (with 7 treys) tonight, and he was only 7/13 from the FT line.
Why can't he be ours? I want to share his tale (as a Celtic) with other peoples' grandkids.
-
HIs talent is better than Brown and Tatum combined...And im a Tatum fan.
He is a superstar in the making, Tatum is an All-star in the making...and Brown is a Jeff Green in the making...lol
-
Doncic is legit.... you have talent like that and he should handle the ball in crunch time.

He is limited on his physical, means he is very close to his ceiling from the get go
If you put him on a team with no other stars and give him the ball all the time he can get allstar number from year 1, even get superstar numbers in some year but he will never be a true superstar

To be frank Bird was way more athletic than doncic, both in traditional run and jump as well as eye-hand coordination. Doncic has had a start that blew my socks off though, although I still believe the Hawks got an excellent haul for trading down the Mavs have no longer lost the trade lol, eating that sweet crow.

Luka Doncic is 6'7-6'8 and much better than Bird was at the same age, considering Bird wasn't even playing for Indiana until he was 20.
Doncic is far more a superstar prospect than freakin Mo Bamba.

Agree completely. He's a borderline All-Star already.

Luka is crafty.
He is an artist in the making and the NBA is his blank canvas.
-
If only that pick last year would have landed top 5 so Danny could have moved in for kill and taken this kid! Definitely a special talent who is going to win some titles.To follow up Dirk with Luka is insane! His numbers are astonishing this early on. His feel for the game is years ahead of him as well.

How can it be disrespectful to compare two players at the same age? Even if one of them is a living legend? Another living legend, Dirk, openly admits that Luka is way better than he was entering the NBA. Of course, that doesn't guarantee that Luka will become a superstar or anything, but the comparisons are legit as long they compare actual production at similar ages.

Precisely. I'm not saying Luka will become the top forward of all time (which is how I view Bird). But the similarities are there. If he can make the strides to develop as Bird did, then watch out. Even if he doesn't to the same level as Bird, he could still be a perennial All-NBA team guy eventually.

If I were the Mavs, I'd trade Smith Jr. with a view to building the team around Doncic. Don't think he is a good fit next to Doncic.

29 points, 12 assists, 8 rebounds, 2 steals, 1 turnover tonight against the Wolves
11 points in the 4th quarter including a clutch 3-pointer to give the Mavs the lead 23 seconds before the end of the game.

The name of my fantasy team in the Yahoo league. Luka is incredible, and fun to follow at this early stage.
