“Doncic, at 6-7, will get exposed for all of the inadequacies that Dirk had. Dirk is not a great athlete. Dirk doesn’t have explosiveness. Dirk isn’t physical. That’s what is going to happen to Doncic…I’m not saying Luka is setting the NBA world on fire—I’m not sure he’s going to be a dominating NBA player.”
“The athleticism, that’s a problem. The lack of athleticism.”
“I believe Luka should go to a good team. I don’t believe he’s a lottery pick. No, I don’t. I think he falls right outside the lottery.”
“I don’t give a damn about how this kid in Europe looked.”
“We tend to over-sensationalize European basketball. There [are] restrictions that cater to him. You can’t have nine Americans on the floor in Europe. There’s going to be nine bred Americans on the floor with you 95 percent of the time in the NBA. That changes the dynamics of the game.”

I'll say it again. I guarantee that NONE of these people actually watched him. At least not more than a couple of highlights or something. A ton of his games are up on youtube, and if you watch his actual games, he was INCREDIBLE. Absolutely amazing.
