2020 Recruiting: Luca Doncic

[Bonk]

I think the Mavs should prioritize Makai Ashton Langford over Luca

I’m not downplaying Lukas vision. But Giannis is just as effective of a passer. That isn’t a notch Luka has over him

Giannis has turned himself into a very good passer but this isn't even close, Luka has all-time good vision Magic like vision.

Whatever Giannis lacks in natural ability when it comes to passing he makes up for by being 7ft tall. He can see over everyone. So why Luka may be a more “skilled” passer, Giannis is just as “effective”. That’s my only point

I’m a big Simmons fan, but he isn’t in this conversation.

With what he can do at his age, we will have to agree to disagree.

Isn’t Doncic younger? At the very least their age is similar and Doncic is the far more complete player.

With what he can do at his age, we will have to agree to disagree.

Giannis is one year older and Luka is about three years younger. Both are much better players than Simmons at the moment.

Giannis with an absurd game tonight to try and match Luka

The question was who else would you rather build around for the next 10-15 years, not who is better now. The difference in athleticism puts Simmons in the conversation for me over a projected period of a decade plus. In the conversation, not necessarily better, but in the conversation.

6'10, only 23 years old, equal passing ability, better defender, much more athletic. Yes, in the conversation.

This kid seems good, I hope Hurley is able to get him for this recruiting class.
