NBA Analysts Reaction of Luka Doncic BEFORE and AFTER the Draft

He certainly won't hesitate to select Luca Don Touch with the number one overall pick. Luca Don Touch is the 2/3 guard wing for Real Madrid and Barcelona. He is eight years old. Is he 18? 19 years. He's spent the last three or four years since he was 16 professional basketball against men at a much higher level than the NCAA and, as I saw Bill Simmons tweet, a much higher level than watching seven-foot prospects shoot against five-foot-nine standing coaches because that's what we get against most of these NBA prospects, we get things like Yeah, and Ling are probably younger, so taking their rookie seasons just as evidence, you might have an argument about whether we make Griffin and Lucca Dodgers, but I don't think that's how we can judge who is the best rookie since LeBron James.

I think that's part of it. I think the other part is where you feel the arrow was pointing for this particular player and I think with Luca and all the reasons Ryan presented the arrow was going so high that it doesn't feel that way. Everyone said about him when he came out that he was already on his roof. Blake suffered not only from having one of the best seasons of his career, his rookie year, the league changed from under Blake, as it was happening that the league moved to the three. point arc the league got big men need to be able to stretch the floor right after the Golden State Warriors happened right after Blake did this as a rookie Lucca feels like he's ahead of where the NBA is going so Ryan He let it out, he's versatile, he's big, he can run an offense.

I've never seen the kind of vision he has. I mean, you've seen it. LeBron obviously had it too, but his brain seems to be in a three-second fast-forward loop of everyone else. he knows what the right play is and I think this is the most important part and again, I didn't figure out all of these things. Ryan, he's got that special thing, man, he's key before they started going down, he was leading, he was at the top of the league in clutch shots. to win a game in the last five minutes and he has a special move that takes a step back three, I mean, he's a rookie, he already has the stuff we're going for.

Wow, James Harden has that charming importance of the Phoenix Suns not screwing this up. he's there in Arizona he's right down the street you need a box office attraction that can throw the ball who's a big kid the size athleticism and combining all those things with his gifts that they just can't teach I don't care damn what this guy looks like in Europe, with understanding of base six eight, it's surreal, he'll probably be number two overall, I think with anyone else, of course, you take those things into consideration, but in Phoenix the level of ineptitude is considered. that they have violated that city in terms of this basketball product that they put on the court DeAndre eighteen there is nothing to think about there is nothing to talk about there is nothing to debate there is absolutely nothing to consider you have to take DeAndre Aten with the national team number one overall because it's the Phoenix Suns, anyone else can debate it, could throw it up in the air, but my goodness, what have they been subjected to in terms of that basketball product since the days of Steve Nash and Mike D. "Antoni is gone I mean, come on, you have to take this kid number one overall if I'm the Phoenix Suns.

I changed my phone line, I cut it off. I don't talk to anyone. I'm not entertaining anything to the max. DeAndre and I don't even talk to anyone about wanting to see the Rookie of the Year. It's not DeAndre eight and in Phoenix, regardless of what happened when he fell 23 and 18 last night in Boston is this kid look at Dante, that's the Rookie of the Year. because this kid is special this kid is sensational he's really only 19 years old first they found Dirk Nowitzki 20 years ago and now they found this kid this kid is special so the office appeal you think he may not have any Of those things, in the end it matters, the only thing that matters is getting the best player and although I was once convinced that it was clearly DeAndre Aiden, I am no longer convinced by his performance in the tournament maybe I am being a prisoner of the moment, but I saw things, Steven, he is more athletic than Okafor, but like Okafor, he may not be as ideal for the modern or postmodern game, if you want to call it that. some of the other guys in this

draft

I'm not talking about records apparently you don't react well to pressure on the ball no, no, it's not great if you can be a primary ball handler no, I'm not, I'm not talking About any of those guys, I look at guys like Janet Jackson and Wendell Carter and I see guys that look more like the best players to come out of the

draft

recently.

You think of Jason Pedro, even watching the Celtics, you think of Al Horford. I see guys who can turn on screens, who can, who play consistently and excellently, like a ubiquitous defenseman, who are everywhere all the time, athletes. I see guys with, at least in the case of Wendell Carter, some offensive polish as well, and in both cases I see real offensive upside. much more of the modern star type than in Aten or Dark Age to tell you the truth, although I haven't seen much of each in the video, you know, we've all seen the point is I think when people have the number one overall pick in the draft, sometimes it can impair judgment because you think okay, I got the number one overall pick, how often do you get this unless you're the Cleveland Cavaliers without LeBron?

You better hit a home run with this pick, but sometimes there aren't any home runs or grand slams in the draft, sometimes the best pick available, even at number one, is simply a nice double off the wall that scores two runs if You consider Jason Tatum. that or someone like that and I think Wendell Carter jr. and Jaren Jackson Jr. fits that description and I'm afraid I'm not saying don't take the number one eight. I just don't think it's a hit, so to speak, because I would be worried that in the wish pitch you know the wish to hit that home run with the number one pick, the fact that he's so big and so good offensively will lead a team to make a mistake.

I think they should consider the other players very carefully. I just mentioned that he is the best player chosen. in the draft, including Ben Simmons, in the last three years, he is a franchise player, reminds me of the way Tobias Harris is sitting on the Sixers and the way boogie fits on the Warriors, like that's the best version of what you could have. Yes, there has been so much hype about Luka. He is the best version of what you could have hoped for. He is a franchise player. I also love watching him play.
