Christina Hendricks's floor and ceiling comps, perhaps?Now, if you don't mind, I'd like to get back to not caring about Luka F. Doncic.

Granted we only really had usenet as a forum then, but the Doncic doubters just remind me so much of the knocks on Dirk coming in. But in the last 20 years we've seen numerous Euro players come in and play at the highest levels in the league. This is a teenager competing at a high level against grown men for pretty much 2 years straight at this point. Put him in an NBA training regimen and let's talk about his body in 2-3 years. Or 25. He's still 7-8 years away from peak, but he's doing things that none of his Euro forbearers did at his age if at all.
Dirk looked bad, Kobe looked like a horrid chucker for 2 years at least, Steve Nash nothing special.Furthermore, Dirk looked pretty bad his rookie year. I remember laughing openly at times. Man, was I wrong.
Yeah he had an alright career. But he was maxed out year one in the nba, no room for growth. His lack of athleticism held him back. He was a super star at a lower level but a journeyman in the NBA. Not a bad player, just not a guy we want at #2.
If the Suns take him #1 we either draft Ayton or trade down one or two spots to take Bagley.Oh, the meltdown that will occur in Kings land if the Suns take him number 1 or the Kings draft Porter Jr. instead.![]()
Yeah I think we'd be all pretty bummed if we came out of this with a 17-7 guy. Looking for upside while keeping downside to a minimum is tough but that's what we have to do. I don't see the superstar upside in Luka. I do in jjj though, that's why I'm constantly arguing leading up to the draft. Can't wait to see who's right.Go look throughout the history of number 3 picks. Getting a 17 and 7 big ends up being a good haul. The extremes of either being the GOAT or being garbage are just that, extreme. If the concern is athletic ability I wouldn't be all that concerned with Doncic. He's quick and has decent verticality. He's more athletic than Bogdan and he seems to get by just fine although I will concede Bogdan is more rangy than Luka.
I think people keep shrugging off the fact that he’s been playing non stop for over a year. Same with Bogie, I’m interested to see if they look a step faster or if it’s noticeable after the offseason. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if there’s some sneaky athleticism that we will end up seeing from the both of them.Go look throughout the history of number 3 picks.

Now this is the sort of analysis I'd like to sink my teeth into!Christina Hendricks's floor and ceiling comps, perhaps?

I've always compared Luka Doncic to Jason Williams, Vlade Divac, Brad Miller, and Birdman Anderson.
I know, I think we're gonna regret it.We're not picking JJJ.
My bad. Carry on, Kings fans, I'll see myself out.Ahem... topic of the thread anyone?
Got it.Ahem... topic of the thread anyone?
Not athletic enoughGot it.
Has anyone asked what Luka thinks about Christina Hendricks?
#yourewelcome
Can Doncic play in just 1 SL game for us...for my own selfish reasons?
tbh I'm more anxious about Giles than anything. This FO has hyped him up way too much for him to have a poor SL performanceNo, We’ll be excited by Giles anyways
I think the apparent lack of interest in JJJ and Bamba tells me the hype is real.tbh I'm more anxious about Giles than anything. This FO has hyped him up way too much for him to have a poor SL performance
