Isn't that what you can expect from such a young player against veterans? It'll come as he gets older, he isn't shy nor afraid of contact. He's no Zarko.

If Doncic falls, I hope we have a good package to offer Memphis for the pick. I'd definitely take on Parson's contract for starters.

Wow, not only we are divided. The whole NBA community is participating in this allegedly "Civil War".

Don’t worry, Dem, it’s just a precaution. I’m sure you’ll give the Batman no reason to beat you silly.

He's been playing competitive since he was 13 and pro ball since he turned 16.
What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

Nice to be here, ah the great Heath Ledger! He was born to be the Joker I guess. He accomplished that and rests in peace now. How cool would it be that somehow The Joker comes out of nowhere and freaks the hell out of Durant and Harden so they can never touch a basketball again. Man, I hate the Harden lead Rockets, Durant etc...

Still, seasoned vets have more experience, can play dirty, get way more physical than a kid, no matter how good he is.
Would you throw Lebron under the bus because he had a bad game again Marcus Morris?

if doncic falls to memphis, they keep the pick and try to make another run at the title.

i could see memphis grabbing mikal bridges at #4 if doncic, ayton, or bagley not available and they cant get a good offer for their #4 pick.

maybe dragan bender is like jonathan bender... unfulfilled promise.
Maybe how about we don't declare that completely until he is at least old enough to drink--or how about old enough to rent a car on his own.
Wiz fans said the same thing about Jan Vesely. Ditto for Nuggets fans with Skita.

Don’t bother, just prepare for another 5 years of this.

To be honest, I do have hopes that Kokoskov can salvage him.

I don’t disagree, I would say this coming season is very important to determining if he has a future in this league.

I’m really hoping the Suns do not go into next year with Chriss and Bender as their PF rotation though. I do not want to go through that again.

To be honest I have hope neither for Chriss nor for Bender. Their mindset is so broken that I think that even Kokoskov can't save them. I wish we could trade them at the draft night for some good income.
