I could see Hayward with more passing and way less bounce.

Doncic actually competes on D and has size. Those concrete feet tho.

Doncic the type of athlete who is decent with a head full of steam in the open court but underwhelming against set defenses.

That’s what screens are for though. He can get that head of steam off the screen and if they sag off I think he’ll eventually be a really good shooter off the dribble just takes bad shots now.

Screens n switching will help some but he struggles against bigs at times to get separation.

That perimeter shot is going to make or break him.

Couldn’t agree more without a jumper he’s I don’t know if you remember Andreas Nocioni from the Bulls

That's a very poor comparison

We should just stop trying to compare players

If he doesn't have a jumper that he consistently rely on, he still has vison and handles at his size. Whether a team will give him the ball to operate is another story. I don't see him getting around faster , quicker, and stronger guards even at his size if he's playing SG.

I remember him killing the US in the Olympics on the perimeter

As a Kings fan, I'd be happy with that from Doncic. The more I sit and think about this. I really don't mind Doncic. Even if he doesn't live up to expectations, you're getting a good player. At 2, that's not ideal, but the Kings need good players, especially on the wing. It's actually nice to see my team discussed for once. :mjcry:

I know that y'all don't watch Kings games. Bogdan Bogdanovic just had a very good rookie season. Yeah, he's 25 but there's still the transition from overseas to the NBA. Bogi isn't the greatest athlete either. Y'all blow this Euro CAC narrative outta proportion. This isn't an iso based league, athleticism isn't a big deal like it used to be. The game is different.

Peoples eyes are always slow on what there watching. Players that can pass, shoot, dribble and have good IQ > athletes trying to play basketball

Think Devin Booker versus Andrew Wiggins

I hope ya'll get Doncic and sign DeAndre Jordan and fight for the playoffs. Plus I really really want Bagley.
