    Introduce yourselves to the #1 draft pick in the 2018 NBA draft...

    His name is Luka Doncic.

    Want to feel old? He was born in 1999.

    He's from Slovenia. He's got all the handles, great vision, excellent passer, above average shooter, solid rebounder.

    Athleticism could be a problem.

    He might not be very good with the handshakes, too.

    But I bet he is a gym rat and a student of the game.

    Looks more Darko than Dirk. Maybe Minnesota can take him, and throw in the flair of Rubio. I don't see the hype, but I'm usually wrong.

    He's not Darko, he was bigger. And Luka is bigger than Rubio.

    He actually kinda reminds me of Lonzo Ball, but a better shooter.

    Look at some of these passes...

    26? I wish. I'm not in my late 40s either. Somewhere in between.

    Let's get back to Luka.

    I've never even heard of him before today.

    Guys, let me ask you a question.

    If the dealer has 5 or 6, should I double down if I have 11 or less? Even if I have like 7 should I double down?

    It always comes to politics of course. Melania, and Slovenia. Trump is Hitler. Can find a way to hate with anything.

    I understand. Just see him as an International bust. Unlike Dirk. Darko, Dirk, and Ricky all got paid though. So, tough to call them failures. This kid will make plenty of money. I don't think he should be top 5 at this point.

    Yeah, I know.

    Cues, I don't know if you were in detox, or just not posting at the time, but I swear to you Kraken used to be normal. I used to think he was just trolling for the last year or two, but I'm afraid he seriously got infected with the retard bug.

    I'm still holding out hope for the guy.

    You might be right. I was surprised to see him rated above Bagley or Porter.

    He definitely was different at one point. We can only hope that the hatred leaves him. I'm not sure if he's trolling these days. It would seem so.

    Great kid. Plays hard. For his age he's got quite a big basketball IQ. I'm watching him in the Euroleague and he's the leader of a team which is considered one of the best in Europe. One thing's for sure if he continues this way he'll surpass the current Europeans in NBA today.

    Those aren't the top 10 plays of his career either. If you want to scout him the Eurobasket games on youtube will show you what he is. He's like a Euro version of LeBron; less athleticism, more skill/ flair.

    Dzanan Musa is another euro star headed to the NBA next year. He represents BIH in the WC qualifiers vs Russia tomorrow. A 6'8 scoring guard.
