This dude is more athletic than Porzingis & that’s pretty obvious to most

This reminds me of when Bill Walton (as a commentator) was talking about the potential and skills of Shawn Bradley as a prospect. Yes, this is a 90s reference. And Bradley at 7'4" was skilled for his size but far from dominant


I'm going back another decade and thinking of Ralph Sampson, who people were predicting would "transform the game" coming out of college.

Not only athletic but also has a reported wingspan of at least 7'8", maybe 8'. He looks like he could develop into a game-changer, for sure.

Gained popularity for a 2v2 game with Rudy Gobert where he seemed to score with ease.

Report with Twitter video of game

At least Sampson dominated in college

This dude is shooting 34% in the Euro league. Brandon Jennings as an above average 18 year old guard managed 38% even

At least Luka was the mvp of that shite tired of these euros who average 3 ppg getting their knobs slobbed on by the media solely because they play in Europe.

Sack up and come play in college or average more then 9 ppg if you want to impress me

I watched both of those highlight videos and his game looks nothing like Durant or even Chet Holmgren’s


That’s funny because he ate Chet’s lunch during FIBA qualifying rounds. This guy has shown he’s much more talented than Holmgren. And Chet might be going #1 in the draft this year

Reminds me of David Robinson, but a little taller.

I’m just excited to bump this thread in 5 or 6 years when he is dominating the NBA.

Robinson was the most perfectly proportioned 7ft athlete I have ever seen. He was built like a statue and had ripped arms. Only better arms I've seen on a big man was Kevin Willis. I think every frontcourt player wants to be built like Robinson..

There are always going to be ridiculous takes with a #1 overall pick.

I think the biggest question mark as we approached the draft was health and that question mark won't be answered for a little while.
