at basketball. They get obsessed with jumping ability and speed. There are tons of busts who were freak of nature athletes. Doncic isn't even a bad athlete, there's some nice dunk videos of him out there and he has really good size, especially for his age. He's no freak but, he is very skilled.
Many people don't believe a player will be any good unless they are either a freakish athlete or can shoot 45% from three.
