NBA Analysts who BELIEVED in LUKA DONCIC

In this video, we will be going over times when analysts were actually right about Luka Doncic. Luka Doncic is the Dallas Mavericks star that was selected in the 2018 draft. He is having one of the greatest rookie seasons ever. The reason of this video is because many analysts disregarded his talents and disrespected him in general. In these takes the analysts actually were right, correct, believed in luka doncic.

I never understood the Luka detractors before the draft, ppl talking about Ayton's athleticism as to why he has more "upside" when Luka won MVP at the highest level outside the NBA, that's what real upside looks like. Athleticism and physical tools gives you something you can't coach, but displaying the ability to play at a high level shows more upside than a guy who can run up the court fast or jump high.

[@theCHILLIntrovert]

That's a bit disrespectful to Ayton. If Luka wasn't in the draft he'd be getting a LOT more love. He really is good and efficient and improving on defense. We can praise Luka without putting everyone else down, especially players who look like they could be great as well. Smh.

even a brocken clock is right twice a day

[@33bigmoney]

i remember in europe an article saying he will be no 1 pick and the best ball player since Lebron. YEAH that's what they said. I couldn't belive it but Euro coaches and analysts have very critical. That shows how much euro ball is disrespected in the NBA. Still with a 2 x MVP jokić and Doncic being one of the best players in the nba.

[@carlosmolina292]

Back here after Luka just got in the All NBA First Team in his second year. Love these analysts that saw Luka's worth.

[@Law-of-EnTropy]

I'm glad Luka got picked and traded to Mavs, because the dude fits perfectly there.

[@kyledungca8629]

Only wrong from Will Cain here is "Real Madrid in Barcelona" lol

[@saycheese6773]

Wow Ryan Collins best top 5 out of all the analysts that year

[@christophercudiamat5695]

im a kyrie fan . bought his cavs and voston jersey. then luka came i also bought his mavs jersey my 2 fave. during that time kai was still in boston. its crazy now they are teammates. saving money to buy kais mavs jersey 😂

[@KDsBurnerYT]

Trae Young wasn’t an option on Ryan hollies list😂😂😂

[@mattofmatticus7746]

2nd best player from the draft class tho

[@a.v.s.c9150]

He wasn't there on the board

[@KDsBurnerYT]

Srikar chowdary 5O6 that’s what we are saying. He wasn’t on the board and he was the second best in the draft.

[@danakaleb4882]

Rowan Basketball. And LEGO stop motions Hollins is ‘big’. Young is gnat to him (he was wrong in this case ofcourse).

[@mrendon6181]

I remember when Stephen A Smith used to referred him as the slow european kid

[@christopherliu3981]

Good take Ryan Hollins, didn’t expect that

[@Simon-lg9kp]

ryan hollins actually nailed that. obviously years later wed move it around a bit but for the most part he hit it on the head

[@eskomoWon]

So glad Ryan Hollins has no job

[@hicksy5200]

Are we gonna ignore that Trae Young isnt even an option for that top 5 list?

[@peakhour]

crazy seeing Shai without a mention on that last board

[@grantsoffer6907]

As a Suns fan, this makes me so sad now

[@noahvumbaca7967]

“Playing for Real Madrid in Barcelona” 😂🥴🥴

[@nicolangot]

A couple of teams passed up on Luka Doncic because Ryan Hollins picked him as his No. 1 pick.

[@BeggarAssassin]

Look at him now, making history in the playoffs

[@Pipoy_99]

That Ryan Hollins one is so unusual. Cause usually I disagree with his takes, but crazy how he predicted Luka to be good

[@bikingchupei2447]

after watching ryan hollins on several shows, i'm pretty sure he picked luka just to be controversial, in other words, he got lucky.

[@chaostrocio1156]

Like he said, played in europe. He knows the guy

[@danakaleb4882]

Nope. He’s Luka fan all the way. He played in Europe against him. He knew about Luka from personal experience. One of players in Real Madrid said, that even before Luka joined their first team (he was 15 then), the team knew he was special. They sometimes invited him to practice with them and even then they knew, tharpt he had the potential to be the best of them all. Real Madrid team was awed by Luka even before he was playing with them. They had campaign ‘Save Luka from Junior league’. He was too good to be there. Luka is basketball Magic for real.

[@Surfword]

Wow for once Ryan was spot on about these youngsters

[@wutman9796]

After that Game 7, Ayton is pretty close to Hibbert now

[@harveyscottz]

Wow. Watching Ryan Hollins this video in 2022, I would say he nostradamus! 😮😯😲🤯

[@TheHuskyK9]

Fran Fraschilla is one of the most respected and accurate basketball insiders. He's the same guy that suggested that Bucks need to keep Giannis long-term and develop him directly on draft day because he said he was a future star.

[@otaviofrn_adv]

Fran is actually the only guy on ESPN that follows european/FIBA basketball up close and in person. The rest of ESPN and the majority of basketball commentators in the US have a ton of outright prejudice against european players. They were overhyping Zion a year later basically because of games where 85% of his opponents were much smaller than he was (he played a season, with injury, in college). Don't get me wrong, I want Zion to turn it around and make better choices. But he is being a lazy ass, fat, injury prone guy since his first day in the league, let's be real. He played 85 games since he was drafted. Out of 3-4 seasons, he barely played one full. He wasn't bad in those games, but he is barely avaliable. Avaliability is a skill too, and a very important one. Luka had 10x more responsability inserted in his game than any kid climbing the ranks through the "AAU" way. He played in places in which the pressure of opposing fans is so huge that you might be partially deaf after a game. And he proved himself in said grounds. For Real Madrid and for the Slovenian National Team. As Fraschilla said himself: the EuroLeague is the AAA of basketball. Many US kids are rocking in single A (high school), playing a mandatory year in AA (college) and going straight to the majors with their stock outragiously high, much more than it should be. Luka played like an ace in triple A and is doing the same in the majors.

[@opeopenomi2431]

I think if the Suns didn’t go to the finals this year i’d regret picking deandre, but seeing the mavs get beat made me feel better about our decision

[@CraigMcGuinn]

Keep in mind the Mavs lost because of a weaker supporting cast behind Luka

[@girejaggu4653]

Might wanna delete this cmmnt bro

[@opeopenomi2431]

@@girejaggu4653 i’m good bro

[@MrPeanutButter907]

the actual only footage of Ryan Hollins being correct on television, a rare moment in Sports Media

[@0p41]

Why did you cut off the video before Ryan could give his thoughts on Luka? Idc about his opinions from 5-2, they aren't even the topic of the video. Yes, I'm seething at a 4 year old video...

[@jiancrespo4265]

Ryan Hollins should stay being an analysis for future prospect.

[@frankenviews4069]

Just put it this way, when was the last time a true center won the league MVP? Because perimeter players that handle the ball and make plays like Luka have been winning that trophy every year.

[@tombystander]

Bro i forgot about will cain. He was great

[@awelch31]

No… no he wasn’t. He nailed this one, yes. But you’re forgetting the bad

[@JWL100]

i watched his euro highlights before doncic got drafted and knew right away that he was insane.

[@otaviofrn_adv]

he came to my homecountry (Brazil) for the FIBA Intercontinental Cup when he was 16. Some reporters that did not knew him well asked Real Madrid's Head Coach Pablo Laso if he was giving minutes to him to get him used to the pro game, because of his young age. Laso's reponse was: there is no such thing regarding him. Luka plays because he can and because he is good enough to.

[@johnnymejia9715]

And y'all say Ryan hollins is dumb lol😂😂😂

[@joehooker7522]

He is but he was oddly great at analyzing these prospects
