In what way? They have like... almost the opposite strengths and weaknesses? They are NOTHING alike. That's coming from someone who really liked Hezonja(for different reasons than those I like Doncic for).

The more I check out Troy Brown, the more I like him. He looks like a Jaylen Brown-caliber prospect to me.

I don't think he has anywhere close to Brown's athleticism. He seems to have some offensive skill though.

I like him... doesn’t seem to have much wiggle or explosiveness but his size stands out and the shot looks good. I’m all for drafting wings. He looks kind of like Khris Middleton to me.

Bruh they are both non-American white guys, which means they are exactly the same.

For me, the eye-ball test he doesn't pass is him being simply 18-years-old and I'm probably looking at him like he should look and play like he's 22. There's no denying what he's doing right now is nothing short of phenomenal and can be highly transferable to the NBA.
 
Doncic is the truth... Look at him as more Harden than some Euro guy.

He will help someone win from day one... that can't be said about all No. 1 picks... some of them put up numbers, but he will put up numbers while playing winning basketball.

All the doubters will believe.

Yeah, Troy's not as quick or vertically explosive as Jaylen, but he's athletic. He's a good 'horizontal' athlete even if he doesn't have the max vertical. He'd look pretty good at the 3.

He seems like one of those guys who if he were playing at a program like Duke or UNC people would be paying more attention to him.

Doncic at age 18 uses much much more possessions than any other and still manages to be top 5 in offensive efficiency. There is no one around his age that is as efficient as he is even with fewer possessions.

Matur Maker, the younger brother of Thon Maker, will skip college and enter the 2018 NBA draft, his guardian told ESPN on Friday.

Thon Maker did the same in 2016, bypassing the college route and getting selected 10th by the Milwaukee Bucks.

Matur Maker just turned 20 years old, according to his guardian Ed Smith, and he is a year removed from his high school graduating class, making him eligible for the NBA draft. Maker is currently doing a postgraduate year at Mississauga Prep in Ontario, Canada.

Maker and Smith had discussed going to college in the past, but Smith said Maker likely would not have qualified.

"You are allotted a certain window to get all of your coursework done, and it took him longer," Smith told ESPN.

Maker, a 6-foot-10 power forward, has a 7-foot-3 wingspan. He is averaging 25.5 points and 11.3 rebounds so far this season for Mississauga. Maker also averaged 26 points and 7 rebounds playing for Asia Pacific at the Adidas Nations event in August.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander bruhs..... The PG's in this draft are way better than people were expecting, and again the Anfernee Simons thing really does push it to a whole nother level... Duval looked pretty damn good this weekend too tbh.



He killed it and led the comeback yesterday vs UGA too.. It's safe to say he's top-20 with major room to rise... I think he'd be a nice look at point next to Mitchell.. Especially with Exum back, the team would be crazy long -- Hood or Ingles probably the shortest wingspan in the whole rotation lol.


I watched Frank Ntilikina before he hit the league... It's undeniable there's some type of similar vibe with Shai, talkin similarities in key attributes.

He's not like uhh... the second coming of Devin Harris.... no way... this kid is more dynamic for sure. His floor is very high tbh..

He's shooting up some draft boards. NBADraft now has us taking him at 11. Seems like a very complete player. Can shoot, pass, and over 2 steals a game.
