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

Uh, what?

In what universe of NBA are you seeing to deduce that Bamba could become a superstar, but Doncic is only an Allstar?
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
Yes, just like Larry Bird could never reach that superstar status.
Larry Bird was 6'9
You have no idea what you are talking about

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.

For sure. I think it's likely that one day Doncic will become the MVP in the NBA.

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.

Larry Bird was 6'9 bare foot and 6-10 with shoes, that height difference means worlds different and as i said Doncic is already reaching his ceiling

I will be surprised he even reach half of Bird has done

Doncic is nowhere near his ceiling as a player. That is just about the wrongest hook take I have ever seen.

I love Doncic but putting him in the same sentence as bird is disrespectful to Bird. And as we currently witnessing young players don't always develop as expected. And even if he does reaching the top 10 of all times it too optimistic

I think it's rather obvious that the Bird comparisons are premature (to say the least), but I love the hype! 8)

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.

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.

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.
