Trae is a nice player, but Atl is definitely kicking themselves making that trade.
this draft proved that a bunch of NBA scouts and GMs are (or were) lucky to have that job…
I could argue that Luka was a way better prospect than Wembanyama, yet many doubted him for some strange reason.
Luka Dončić 💪🏼💯🎉
they treated his euro highlights like a high school kids mixtape on 9.5 ft rims, they could not believe what was on tape….it baffled me when I watched in real time the draft and seen his highlights like OMG , they not lying he is next but NBA nikkas couldnt see he was him…gm hella stupid
He kinda fell into the perfect spot too.. great city, big market, Dirk as a mentor, Boban and JJ there for a little while, great owner who takes care of his guys probably more than anyone else in the nba
For me, as a European, it was very hard to believe that Luka wasn't the obvious first pick for everyone.
I think the extreme overhype for Wembanyama is a result of what happened with Doncic.
Hes a white European thats the only reason why he went lower in the draft.. lets not sugar coat it. .
Great vid
Luk u knew what bad cities was 😂 that’s why your in Dallas
Prediction, he’ll be a Laker soon
Dirk is the perfect mentor. My top 2 favorite players of all time. One of the most underrated players in history.
Luka is already an elite player….imagine that talent and adding dirks IQ and guidance to it.
Luka is already historical ….imagine 10 years from now
Everyone suddenly becomes the best scout in the world when they get to use hindsight
Everyone talks about the Luka/Trae trade
But nobody talks about the SGA/Miles Bridges trade
I think that was a far worse trade than Luka for Trae Young. Miles Bridges isn't even in the league anymore while SGA is an All Star coming off a 30+ppg season.
Sga is better and has higher cieling so all 10 lottery teams made a mistake
What’s his resume?
If went to atl he wouldn’t have been as successful
He wasn’t black is why he was drafted so low
It’s all to do with Americans thinking European players are lazy and can’t be better
