he's approaching roddy beaubois territory

he can be top 5.
Granted even Jokic had a crazy run last year.
As it stands i dont know why anyone would think hes top 10..ie better than Jokic, embiid etc in a 16 game sample size
thought you were done and gone for the year you crybaby got
He's clearly in the conversation. Just look at his numbers and team record.
You obviously can't crown someone less than 20 games into a season, but it's possible he could be an MVP candidate if he were to continue as he is currently going.
tonight will be a good test vs the Clippers.
Right now he is top 3, what's funny about that? But I doubt that he'd become great defender
he is actualy a good defender vs players his size. When he guard smaller guys he has problems. He's also not that concentrated on defense, but that will get better.
he's definitely a special player... i'm no player fan but it's not hard to see the talent this kid has.
Was getting there but then got porky.
How bout dis?:
Luka Doncic said incorporating more cardio and weight training into his routine helped him improve his athletic performance (msn.com)
a fat, non athletic and out of form Luka was still better than 95% of the league. I'd feel pretty sad if I worked out all summer long, just to get ed by this fatso.
And yea, if he gets in shape he'd be a much bigger problem. Also, should be leading the MVP voting by a lot actually. That team is dog and he has them 5th.
Actually, I think the taller, fatter version of Luka is the best player in the league, Jokic. I think he's the best player in the league and by a good margin. Plus, he plays defense now too. He's not a great defender and won't get a bunch of highlight reel blocks. But he's improved to the point that he's not only not a liability on defense, he's actually a plus defender.
He does pretty much everything Luka does but better. Better passer, better shooter, better post up, more efficient. And he's bigger. And while he has the ball in his hands a lot, he doesn't need to be ball dominant to be effective.
I imagine Jokic is a lot like the stories of what Arvydas Sabonis was in his prime in Europe.
Was 2019.
Update 2022?
interesting how a solid but non-star player like dinwiddie has opened things up so immensely for luka, and now hes not forced into chucking 12 bad shots a game while double teamed simply because his team is so offensively inept. now he can actually pass out of traps and doubles and feel some level of confidence that his teammate is capable of making the right play, instead of having to reset the play every time he gets trapped
would sure be interesting to see how the team would do if they could simply have a quality starting center
Told y’all there is some Bird in his game.
Yes style wise he a Pierce m/Harden hybrid
But when it comes to being a great passer and rebounder …check
Grapefruit cajones check
Creative scorer who you can’t stop from getting to his spots check
Bird the better shooter and tougher player
Luka got the better handle and a tick more athleticism
Not sure why people fight the comparison because apparently it’s the cool thing now to compare white players to black ones
If that makes you happy I see a touch of Magic too
Btw his gf is hot as balls why would he need an American skank?!
the best thing going for him is he already has three unguardable shots that he hits at a dangerous rate (all at difference ranges, and exploit different types of defenders), the floater, the fadeaway, and the step back three. few great players even have one consistent unguardable shot, and he already has three which all compliment each other. it's amazing.
if he works on 1) getting in better shape, 2) hitting his FTs at a higher clip, and 3) not getting bothered by refs and trash talk, he will unquestionably be the best player in the NBA
Jokic is closer to Bird than Doncic when it comes to passing tbh
birds best passing was generally him whizzing no look passes out of the post, or in transition. Luka does that as well as anyone today, but his strength is in manipulating defenses. hes more like LeBron in that regard, he sees how openings develop before defenses can react to it.
tbh if he didn't have two centers with stone hands and bad IQ, Luka could easily get an extra 2-3 assists per game
^ 5+ more assists with centers with better hands and shooting.
Of course if he had better shooters it may also cut down on his assists, especially if said bigs could create their own shot.
Finney-whatever and Hardaway Jr are just chuck city. Occassionally they are on. Finney a net neg big time.
Another Cuban flop.
um finney isnt a chucker at all. he was an undrafted player that has developed into a starting quality glue guy for a reasonable price. not sure how thats a flop at all.
but hardaway is definitely useless unless hes hitting, his contract is definitely a flop
He needs another great shooter. I already said, Klay would be a perfect teammate for him. He does not need a big that puts up big numbers, just one that can finish alley oops and sets good picks. The fact that Dallas is 4/5th is also a miracle and him not being a top 3 MVP candidate just shows you american jouros are stupid as . People still having Ja over him, cause he can jump high, even tho Mempshis plays better without him. Put Luka out of Dallas and they win 15 games in a season.
The addition of Spencer Dindindin should take some pressure off Luka
No. It's between Jokic and Antetokounmpo, with Embiid next. He's got an argument to headline the next tier with Durant, James and Curry.
