Dillinger All-American

Who were all at least #1 picks that never did anything? At least Doncic will be 2,3, or 4.

Am I the only one who things Luka Doncic is about to be biggest NBA bust ever?

Is it wrong to say Len Bias was the #1 draft bust? #2 pick. Played zero games.

I submit Greg Oden... an actual 1st pick.

I think of a bust as someone who just doesn't cut it in the NBA.

He had skill... i'll give him that. But it still hurts.

He had the skills though, just not the health. I dont consider injuries a "bust"

He's Joe Ingles. Note: I've seen maybe 5 minutes of his highlights so I can

Yeah. That's why he's going top 5.

i see him as a high floor low ceiling guy. its easy to poke holes in his game,

Larue Martin?!

6/20/18 1:22pm

It’s litterally impossible for him to be the biggest bust ever. He won’t go #1

Here’s an interesting tweet about Doncic

SactOWNit

6/20/18 1:29pm

the braking/change of direction is something that stands out when you watch him-

Totally. I don’t like comparing prospects to NBA players,

Simmons says it's the Harden/Ginobli skillset - herky jerky moves

Medute

That move at 28 seconds made me LOL, that was awesome

BYUfan92

6/20/18 1:44pm

It was awesome, but he carried the ball twice,

Carrying apparently isnt even a rule anymore, its a big reason IMO why the game

BYUfan92

6/20/18 1:58pm

I agree. Seems like it really started getting out

Jdoc

6/20/18 2:01pm

They will never change it back now though. Kids love watching Kyrie cross people

SactOWNit

6/20/18 2:04pm

So do I, its way more fun to watch with non-enforcement. Maybe just remove

BYUfan92

6/20/18 2:08pm

Agreed

Plus he’s 98th percentile in protective instincts. Win-win.

he's one of the guys i'm most looking forward to in summer league. hope he

smokymountainrain

6/20/18 1:24pm

He’s played in the Spanish league, EuroBasket, and Euroleague

SactOWNit

6/20/18 1:30pm

yeah, that would make for a long season to play in mostly meaningless games.

smokymountainrain

6/20/18 1:34pm

Hard to beat Bennett. Basically impossible really.

You guys forget how many terrible top 3 picks have been taken over the years

Lonzo Ball?

I think he will be very good.

I am on the exact opposite end of the spectrum. All aboard the Doncic train

Medute

I agree, people forget that a big part of being good at basketball is being good

He's built like Carmelo but is actually a smart basketball player. I think he'll

Dillinger

That's a good comp, also a similar build to Paul Pierce.

califcougar

6/21/18 12:19pm

Incorrect. He’ll be a very good player. Great size, not a super athlete, and

dreamlvr

I dont think he will be a bust, I bet a starter level but its so hard to know

The style of game in the NBA has changed so dramatically over the past few years

I’m predicting a Ricky Rubio type career

Keep in mind he is 6 foot 8 and a better shooter. But maybe
