He is averaging 9 points and 2 assists thru 2 games and has only made 2 shots. I think Giannis' brother Thanis (?) is mostly guarding him. I have never been sold on him as a true NBA big-time prospect. talented, sure but what position will he play? Is he athletic enough to make an impact? or will he be just a solid role player.Those are some of the questions I have for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not even remotely worried about his ability to translate. He's also deferred a lot so far in these playoffs. Only averaging 4 shots a game. He's perfect from the FT line and shooting 40% from 3 in that small sample. I'm not even remotely worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seminoles1 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Hasn't Doncic played like 17 straight months of competitive basketball or did I misread that somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not nearly enough to mean a thing when he's got a body of work of 50+ games over the last year, and if this is in terms of questioning whether he "steps up" in the big time moments, well he's already shown he can when he, along with Dragic, carried Slovenia to gold in EuroBasket. Obviously not a good look, but don't think this has any barring on his stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

resilient part 2 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Ok now I remember. But I don't really see how that would hurt him by doing so. Though I don't see him as a player who will raise his stock much anyway in a year or 2. I think he makes some NBA roster when the time comes.

Being a UNC fan, I can tell you flat out that Luke Maye isn't an NBA player. He's a 6'6" power forward. He's exceptionally limited moving side to side so he can't cover wings. He's got no wingspan to speak of and struggles with length so he can't play the 4 in the NBA. He legitimately has no NBA future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legitimately, the only thing he has going for him is his 3pt shooting. Other than that, he's really not a good pro prospect due to severe athletic and size limitations. He also can't handle the rock at all. So, playing him on the wing or in the paint in the NBA is suicide lol. I love UNC and I love what Luke has done for us but he's a college player all the way.

resilient part 2 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 BTW, I was thinking this draft is one of the better/best drafts in a very long time, not just for a top 10, but for the top 30 picks. Is there anyone else who agrees with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
