That dribble spin move that Fultz pulled on Rozier at the 28 second mark was damn near a glitch move in nba 2k16. Hard af to pull off at that speed too.

Should be a top 5 pick

On Doncic -
Errick McCollum, Anadolu Efes of the Turkish Basketball Super League: “He’s a good player, special for his age. He’s got NBA size and body (needs to tone it and get some of the baby fat off) but he’s got a great feel for the game. He’s a good passer and pick-and-roll player, good rebounder and solid shooter. But, he’s not that athletic or explosive and he’ll have issues defending in the league and consistently creating space on his shot. But he is crafty and should thrive in pick-and-roll and the uptempo game.
I think he will have a good rookie year. I’d guess 12-14 points, four rebounds, and four assists per game. He can do a little of everything. He can’t play point guard in the league because he’s not athletic enough, he’s a wing. His pick-and-roll ability, pace, change of speed, high IQ and size will be excellent for the league. Obviously, he was playing against professionals, so this is better competition than summer league and all those things. He’s ready, I just wouldn’t say he’s Dirk, Pau or Marc like they are trying to say. It’s easier for euro bigs to adjust (to the NBA) than guards. It’s just easier overseas because if you’re 6’6-6’8 and you can dribble, shoot, play iso, and play pick-and-roll (like he can) you’re already in the NBA. So there aren’t a lot of teams that can matchup with his size in Europe. I’ve seen what happens to him when he goes against players his height or close-to who are athletic. He struggles mightily. Go check the film in Panathinaikos series. He was struggling to create space, to get the team in the offense comfortably, and to create shots, and get by guys. Granted Panathinaikos is the most athletic team in Euroleague, but that’s kind of athleticism he will see in NBA.
But he’ll be a very good professional, he’s ready and he will make an impact as a rookie. I feel like he caps out at 18 points per game, which is excellent in the NBA. It’s just not a superstar or a guaranteed all-star every year. I feel like if you’re picking at one, you’re drafting a player to be a number one option, a franchise changer. And he is really good, but if he’s your best player on a team in the NBA, you won’t be a contender. If he’s your 2nd best player, your team will fight for playoffs and if he’s your 3rd option, I think that team is really good. I see a solid career and good player who can have success in league but he’s probably not the guy that can change the course of a franchise.”

Didn't really sense any salt in what he said. He at least gave good reasoning for why he feels that way.

I don't think anyone in this draft is going to be the #1 guy on a contender.
- 25,778

Not a “true talent shooter”
- 33,347

Nah he definitely gave good reasoning but it’s wild as hell that he was THAT honest and thorough in his response.

This ***** all in on the hate train
Ain’t letting up on Trae. Word to DG Yola
Check the tape doe. Dudes be 5+ feet away and still manage to bother his shot. NT loves to throw around looter in a riot and small sample size but somehow Trae is teflon

McCollum pretty much covered what I seen and how I feel bout Doncic...said it before but the last game I watched on him he couldn’t beat old NBA wash outs off the dribble but still managed to somehow have like 20 pts...showed me the good and bad

Don't think Luka is a go-to scorer #1 option type, but I do think he can be a 19/6/6 or something like that. Perfect #2 next to an all-NBA type guy.

Now let him do that for like 8+ seasons.

You still not letting that go
I hear you. I’ll never forgive the 2004 ROY going to “you know who”. Never!
Shoutout to that 2000 Draft Class. Putrid.

Look at the ridiculous rookie class that year and their numbers.
Some guy named Marc Jackson was on the All-rookie 1st team.
