After one full season and 14 games ......

[stevenash]

Is it safe to say Luka Doncic is now the premier SF in the NBA (if you consider the Greek a PF and not a SF)
And even if you consider the Greek a SF is Doncic better right now?

Doncic's skill set is insane.
Last night Luka poured in 35 points/10 rebounds/11 assists (3 steals) 33 points in the first half as he sat most of the second half in a Mav blowout.

That's two straight double/doubles now for Doncic, 3 out of the last four games and now has seven double/doubles in 14 games.

What he's doing as a 20 year old is beyond incredible.
Yes I understand he's benefiting from the new NBA rules but still.

Doncic is averaging 30 points a game 10.5 rebounds per game and 8.5 assists per game.
Greek is averaging 30.5 points a game 14 rebounds per game and 6 assist per game.

Of course Greek has been doing it now for 6 years plus but what's scary is Doncic is going to get better.
A lot better.

No. That title will be Lebron's as long as he's in the league.

He's absolutely studly, though. He must not have wanted to play in Phoenix because there is no way they should have drafted Ayton over him.

The league has known about these Euro players for awhile. Doncic has been NBA ready for years.

[pologq]

I am very impressed by his growth. Never expected him to reach this level and this fast.

LeBron dick rider til the end I see, or perhaps you're Chinese.

[jjgold]

Better than Larry Bird

[Booya711]

The NBA will never want a white guy to be the face of the NBA....this isn’t the 50’s

I've watched Lebron since he was in high school. Best player to ever play the game hands down.

[CJ]

I take it that's also when you started watching basketball. Enjoy slurping LeBron I guess, he's not even top 3 all-time though. Maybe not even top 5.

That would be incorrect. Carry on.

As far as basketball smarts goes, Bird and LBJ are the two best I ever saw.

Lol LeBron is a lot of things, but smart ain’t one of them.

[Lord_Mar7]

Basketball smart - court vision

[stevenash]

I said basketball smart.
lol

[IBetYou]

You Americans are a bit late to the party. You don't win the Euroleague title as the MVP in your teens unless you're a basketball god. Can't think of another recent NBA player that could do that at that age.

hahahaha

more like you can’t think of one that would bother.

Are you sayin bron not one of the greatest? Why is everyone with eyes and sense who admits bron one of the best ever called a dick rider?

[Hman]

20yrs old and dominating

Ayton & Bagley drafted ahead of him lol

You shouldn't have to be a flashy dunker to considered the best player in the league so that title should be his soon

[2daBank]

It’s incredibly debatable but he certainly one of the best. That isn’t debatable.

Don’t follow nba very close these days but yea the highlights I’ve seen of him are sick and he putting up incredible numbers. Does he play defense?

Seems like he always going downhill ala bron. Looks like he has a much prettier/more pure shot than bron (Dunno if he plays d anywhere near the level of a young bron tho?)

I don’t like the direction the league has went pussying up the sport like the nfl but is what it is, can only judge guys by what they doing with way rules are and the way game being played. He certainly appears to be headed to stardom and one the greats of this generation, by all accounts I’ve heard he a gym rat so his game should only get better!! I see he listed as 6’7, he sure looks bigger than that! Has a pretty impressive array of moves/ways to score for a 20 year old!!

[2daBank]

No I am just Chinese lol.

Wasn’t me who asked, lol. I don’t care if you purple pal.

I made that one post relevant to the title! Lol. What about his defense Nasher, does he play it?

[IBetYou]

hahahaha

Well the current crop apparently wont bother. LaMelo Ball and another one are in Australia. Euroleague is tough. Grown men, much halfcourt offense, no BS foul calls. If you don't have a reliable jump shot (like L.James as a teen, or Giannis now) then good luck!

[stevenash]

My post wasn’t directed at ya Banker lol

Defense is better than average.
12th in the NBA in rebounds, not much of a shot blocker is the only thing negative I can say.
He’s always active.

I think he’s going to be the Mike Trout of the NBA.

This is a must read.

What is even happening here.

[stevenash]

The Greek just went for 24 points, 19 rebounds, 15 assists and 3 steals in the Bucks 137-129 win.
That’s sick I don’t care if he was 9 for 27 from the field that’s just filth.

Has he learned to shoot yet?

[stevenash]

Has he learned to shoot yet?

Yeah, last year he hit 58 percent of his shots, this year 59 percent.
He’s found his shot.
His first two seasons he was laying bricks on a regular basis, the next three he was better but not good.
He’s steady now.
