I love Doncic. Think he has the most all around talent of anyone that will be drafted next year. People want a shooter and scorer coming off the bench...Doncic could be 6th Man of the Year in his first year. He has that type of talent that is ready right now.
too slow
6th man of the year in his first year? ?
He's not too slow. And in Brad's system with Doncic being a 50/40/90 quality shooter straight from the start, yeah, as a rookie he could do 15ppg, 5 rpg, 3 apg and be a real candidate for 6th man right away.
He's averaging a little better than that right now. What makes you think he can put up those kind of numbers on a loaded, championship contending team? I know he may likely replace Marcus Smart's minutes (if we get lucky with the LAL pick) but he would still have to beat out Rozier for minutes.
He would beat out Rozier for minutes, and it wouldn’t be close. He’s at 20/6.5/4 in 26 minutes a game. He’s also 18. Yes, the NBA is more difficult than Europe, but if Tatum can come in and put up 14/6 making a much further jump from college to the NBA, after having gone for 17/7 in college, there’s no reason Doncic can’t do the same. We saw how he played for Slovenia vs. Spain, when he was the best player on the court with both Gasols, Rubio, and Dragic. (Not saying that he’s better than all of them, just that he was that game). If there were no age limit, he’d be in the NBA today, getting a lot of minutes on any team in the league.
He’s the most NBA-ready prospect in at least a decade. I can’t wait to see how he does next year, and I hope he’s wearing green.
