Official Luka Doncic Will Be A Bust Thread

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

Man, if Doncic is a bust then I don't know what that makes Bagley.

Marvin Bagley III barely showing any flashes as a #2 pick yet.

Now THIS is an absolute factory. I did have him being a borderline bust but I didn’t think he would be this weak. Never draft positionless guys

 

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

The lie I was referring to was "Doncic being left completely wide open on a lot of shots"
You just made that up

You go and watch some Doncic film and look how unguarded he finds himself. He doesn’t get nearly the same attention as Trae and Ayton

Besides Ben Simmons, I can't think of the last positionless guy drafted in the top 10 that panned out.

 

[Trot LaRoc]

I think we can all agree Bagley isnt gonna amount to much. He not garbage...he has some skill but if he doesnt learn to shoot soon....he's gonna be a career bench player

Doesnt fit NBA of today....he woulda wrecked shop in 2007 tho

Was 14th pikk.....but Giannis fits the bill

Ive watched the Doncic games

That's my ROTY

If his 3 starts to fall like it did in college

That's not fair because hardly any top-10 picks have been panning out in recent years if we're gonna keep it 100.

Giannis was damn near top-10. Simmons, Brown, Tatum, Ingram, Anthony Davis, Porzigis, Oladipo, and Tyreke Evans were all guys who were drafted knowing they could play multiple positions.

So now the knock on Luka is "well, some guys on ESPN/Fox/Bleacher said he's LeBron Simmons 3.0 and he's not putting up 30-8-8 to start his career!!!"

Sounds reasonable


Went from "YA HE A BUST!!! LMAO" to "ROFL, he's only putting up Oscar/LeBron rookie numbers..."


The coli dot com




Let's talk about Trae Young brehs

 

[Codeine Bryant]

*bytches about Luka being compared to All-Time Greats in draft process lead-up*

*sees he's putting up historically good numbers on excellent efficiency*

*posts Trae Young double double videos and calls Luka a bust*

Just wait til Trae gets _______ back in the lineup

Low-key Hawks got a core


How am I doing, brehs

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

I definitely agree, and he’s actually doing a lot better than I thought especially with his lack of speed. He’s a great pick up in Dallas and he will be an All-Star in a few years absolutely. Trae is on the same path but he is bigger box office IMO. Once he gets stronger he’s going to be a problem.

at you swtiching shyt up now. Shameless.

 

[Codeine Bryant]

Stephon Marbury and Steve Francis were arguably "bigger box office" than Dirk Nowitzki.

It makes sense that these Trae Young stans would rather have inefficient volume chucking combo guards than a Euro Gawd.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Another 20 and 10+ assist game for Trae, this time under the bright lights.

Since last time y’all pretended it didn’t happen because it was against Cleveland.

Doncic, the player with the best court vision for his age of all time, has yet to get double digit assists or double digit rebounds something to keep an eye on.

“But but his field goal percentage!”

You haven’t watched any live footage. You live on highlights and box scores.

 

[Ashyneezz]

Why has he been much better with the return of Barnes? Its can't be false, we see the correlation. Now Barnes hasn't benefitted from Doncic like that but Doncic has because of Barnes

Correlation doesn't always equal causation. Barnes only missed the first 4 games. Luka's numbers aren't different from those first 4 and after those 4.

6-3-11? What a scrub.
