So PHX is in an interesting spot, do you do the Ultimate Draft and Stash with Luca? Or do you go with the sure thing in Ayton?

No shot he stays unless he really hates money

He has been saying stuff like this all year. There is no chance he stays

When was the last time a European player was hyped like this? Maybe not to this extent, but hyped.

Rubio?

Do you guys think he will be a superstar like some are acting? Or settle in to just a pretty good player?

He should stay in Europe and allow PHX to get the #1 pick again

Sam Hinkie would be proud

Bogut isn't European and he got drafted out of Utah

Bogut isn’t European and never played overseas until this year. I would say Rubio or probably Darko

I've only read one or two articles about him but get the feeling that he'll be a superstar at least on the level of a Paul George, possibly even better.

He appears to have the size (both height and frame), skills, and experience playing against fairly high level competition.

Darko, then probably Sabonis before him.

Bargnani maybe. He was the first Euro to go #1 but that draft was pretty weak at the time. I still vote Darko. He went #2 in a draft that was considered to be historically strong at the time (which turned out to be true) and he was on major US magazine covers and ESPN features all year leading up to him coming over

damn you're good

I just feel like we have seen this story play out before, not to say Rubio isn't a good player, but not nearly what we built him up to be

This kid must be very legit if he’s likely to go ahead of Ayton and Bagley. This class is strong at the top.

He's just saying this in case PHX passes.

I was going to say that

"I'll make my decision after the first pick of the draft..."

PHX might not be the most glamorous place, but it'd be a comfortable landing spot for Doncic. Can you imagine going from Madrid to Sacramento?

No, he doesn't want to fry in the desert. Once Vlade Divac picks his fellow eastern European, he'll be in the NBA next season.
