I'm seeing Draft projects with Doncic at the 2nd pick or even third. I saw one with Doncic going forth to the Grizzles. If he falls that far Danny should go after him.
I can’t see the Grizzlies passing at 4, or trading him for anything but a huge package. But if Ainge can somehow get Doncic without giving up Brown or Tatum, he is my hero. I haven’t posted in the draft draft thread because Doncic has been my 2018 draft binkie for 18 months. And I can’t let myself dream.
To whom would you compare Doncic? I only ask because, well, I don't know much of anything about him other than the possibility of the guy staying in Europe next year and the fact that Phoenix just hired one of his former coaches, or something. I think.
I don’t like comps for him because we really haven’t seen a player like him before. People like saying Hayward for some reason, but they’re sort of comparing Doncic at 18 and 19 to a version of Hayward at age 25, and that feels wrong. So, in keeping with the spirit of comparing him to players Celtics’ fans will recognize, I will say he’s Jayson Tatum but better. Maybe Tatum has an inch in him — Doncic has a lack of verifiable measurements so it’s tough to say — but a better Jayson Tatum. He can do all the stuff Tatum does, some of it a little better, and he can be an actual point guard as opposed to an emergency point guard because somehow three or four of them got injured at once.
Okay, first of all, thanks for the breakdown, so TP

That said, and I want to preface this by saying that I was completely wrong about Tatum, I just watched this highlight video so I am now obviously an expert in all things Luka Doncic, LOL
, and I have to tell you, outside of 2-3 post-ups and passes, I guess, there's nothing about him that even remotely intrigues me
, so what am I missing, here, besides everything, lol?
