@@robertdean4238 nah trae had a very shaky conclusion to his freshman season and thus wasn’t projected very high. People doubted his transition to the nba
Agreed. Yet he said in the same sentence he was athletic and then not athletic lol. Hayward is a GREAT athlete, and frankly I feel like his game is almost right back to where it was pre-injury. His speed, explosiveness, willing to attack the rim are all back. I also feel like Hayward and Luka are also very good at being patient and don’t rely just on athleticism (though I think Hayward has the edge in terms of straight athletic ability).
@@danieltaylor9459 Bro Gordon was an athlete! I don't think he's at that level and I sadly believe he won't ever be at that athletic peak again (what happened to PG). I still believe he can contribute big time and be an all star again.
Nah you know what? This guy is actually extremely smart. I’ve heard him have legit debates, from that alone I know ESPN pays him to say stupid stuff. Even Shaq alluded to it once
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.
@ChowDown Luka ceiling wasn't no damn kukoc you obviously didn't watch him. Only people who don't know basketball use athleticism as a means for potential meanwhile no player in the league is gonna ever just be the best off pure athleticism yaw just say stupid shit sometimes
That's because they rarely take interest of anyth outside the USA so had no idea how to gauge EuroLeague in relation to the NBA even though they have some awareness that the EuroLeague is best outside NBA they still have biase towards NCAA
Watching this for the first time 2 days after Luka destroyed the Suns in game 7, this is a decent draft class! It’s a shame that Porter Jr’s back issues flared up again this season. Good to see Hollins did get something right though in picking Luka Magic as the number 1 pick.

Thank you girls and boys for the visibility and many joys. From Slovenia with LOVE. Slovenija BANG BANG
Not going to lie, back when the draft was coming up, I believed in Ayton. I really wanted to see another center come in and dominate. But I watched that first Mavs game and was really impressed with Luka. Then he kept it up. Now he's my favorite player because he proved me wrong.
Ryan Hollins was amazingly accurate! It's like when a future journeyman has that one game that causes his future teams to convince themselves there's still a chance. Then 10-15 years later, he's an analyst or color-commentator regularly making outlandish declarations that no one ever agrees with.
You can’t even spell “whole” correctly. You edited your comment and it’s still spelled wrong. So is “sensible” idk why you even thought that was spelled with a c.
As a Kings fan, I was so irritated we got Marvin Bagley when the suns got Ayton. While he isn't a bad player, doncic is a future hall of famer barring any major injuries.
@@lyalminchinton8825 What are you talking about? The king's had the 2nd pick after Phoenix took Ayton. Luka and Ayton were concensus top picks by everyone who followed or were in the league at the time, and Doncic was proven considering he was dominating on the international level.
It is now 2020 and Ryan Hollins top 5 assessment is actually the most spot on assessment of this draft especially now that MPJ has finally broken out at the nuggets.
if his name was Luke and he played in some high school God knows where, he would be #1 4-5 years before his draft. Let's admit that the media has a ton of prejudice against european players
@@huckleberry2623 he to soft for a center i see him in a pic n roll and don't even be a brick wall ,he rolls from the screen before the defender even touch his body and play weak interior defense ..I was hoping we picked doncic or Trae especially doncic since we hired his coach before the draft started 🤦🏽♂️
K Sule no he’s not, he’s closer to a Steve Nash type than a Steph. Just because he pulls up from deep don’t make him Steph, especially when passing is the main weapon of Trae’s game.
Wally Patheuangsin True but Trae is the worst defensive player in the league, Ayton is a plus defender and could become one of the best. Two sides of the ball man. Not saying he’s definitely better, but it’s way closer than you think.
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...
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.
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.
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.
Ppl clown Ryan Hollins, but he hit it out the park on this one lol. Every single pick in his top 5 was where they should have gone! Get this man into a front office
2:58 from Real Madrid in Barcelona 😂 That only shows ignorance from americans when it comes to Europe, you know nothing about world besides your 300 year history only, of your own country and not even that
Swag Money What you mean by saying „your countries”? You don’t even know where I come from that’s the first thing, secondly americans know nothing about europe or any other part of world, their own descent or any other country. That’s what I call an ignorance. We been taught about usa, so why they don’t do that in states about europe? That’s where all these stereotypes about americans come from. Btw. I can name at least half of your states with biggest cities in there.
“From Real Madrid and Barcelona” He never played for Barca. Saying he played for Barca and Madrid, is like saying Kobe played for the Lakers and the Celtics. Not only is it wrong, but it’s saying someone played for two bitter rival teams.
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.
I'll be honest, I thought he was gonna be like a Hedo Turkoglu type of guy in the league because he has almost the same type of built and play style. Crazy how a couple of IQ points could mean a huge difference for two very similar players.
He reminded me of Joe Johnson as far as body type and shot creating before the draft. Hedo was another good comp because of the playmaking at that size
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.
Where can I find an analyze career that you can get full benefits, 6 figures, tons of followers on social media and I can get it wrong every single time without getting fired?
Luka deserves flowers. I was a talkin the predraft hype trash too...euro guys were stereotyped. He's a great player when Dallas has the ball. Still could become much better at the other half of it but 73 speaks for itself.

You can’t win every draft, that’s why they call it a lottery.
@@lyalminchinton8825 What are you talking about? The king's had the 2nd pick after Phoenix took Ayton. Luka and Ayton were concensus top picks by everyone who followed or were in the league at the time, and Doncic was proven considering he was dominating on the international level.
__ haha nice username
__ Ayton
@@lyalminchinton8825 wtf are you talking draft and draft lottery are 2 different things.
It is now 2020 and Ryan Hollins top 5 assessment is actually the most spot on assessment of this draft especially now that MPJ has finally broken out at the nuggets.
Nope Trae should be up there he is better than Bagley and Jackson
@@JC0820 trae wasn’t listed on that board for Hollins to put on his list in fairness
We can’t sleep on SGA, I feel like he should be on the list somewhere.
@@Drew-bo9ib well we now know the draft should've been: 1. Luka, 2. Shai, 3. Trae, 4. Porter jr, 5. Mikal Bridges.
@CLANIMEProductions Uhhh what about Jalen Brunson?? Get Mikal Bridges (not even the best Bridges btw) tf outta here
I remember hearing about Lukas accolades after seeing that he was projected top 3, and my immediate thought was “why isn’t this guy the unanimous #1?”
if his name was Luke and he played in some high school God knows where, he would be #1 4-5 years before his draft.
Let's admit that the media has a ton of prejudice against european players
3:40 i now get why he still has a job
crazy seeing Shai without a mention on that last board
I feel like every analysis believed in him. I kept seeing “best euro prospect ever”
All the scouts liked him. TV analysts were either negative or they just repeated what scouts said
Wow Ryan Hollins was right on the money with his top 5! Wonder what he thought of Trae Young since he wasn’t even an option
Dam shoutout to Ryan. He be tripping a lot but he was on the money with this one
As a suns fan this is painful to watch
Tell me about it🤦🏽♂️
aytons not doncic but hes SUPER good. not the worst pic for sure. but ya I'd cry to if I missed out on the next Lebron lmaoooo
@@huckleberry2623 he to soft for a center i see him in a pic n roll and don't even be a brick wall ,he rolls from the screen before the defender even touch his body and play weak interior defense ..I was hoping we picked doncic or Trae especially doncic since we hired his coach before the draft started 🤦🏽♂️
Is it really? He is helping you guys win it this year. Should be happy. Smh
Well I guess you guys should be happy right now,
Ayton is a great player though. Not Luca but a great player
Wooow! I never heard the Hayward mixed with Ginobli…that’s spot on
Hayward with ginobili on steroids.
What's crazy is that trae wasn't even on the board that ryan hollins was picking from
Trae young is not even on the board
Yeah, who cares? Doncic is tha man , not young!
Lukas H yeah but he’s the 2nd best in that draft class
Yahya Mo It’s close between him and Ayton for 2nd best in that draft
K Sule no he’s not, he’s closer to a Steve Nash type than a Steph. Just because he pulls up from deep don’t make him Steph, especially when passing is the main weapon of Trae’s game.
Wally Patheuangsin True but Trae is the worst defensive player in the league, Ayton is a plus defender and could become one of the best. Two sides of the ball man. Not saying he’s definitely better, but it’s way closer than you think.
Here after game winner against Timberwolves up 2-0…
Luka and the mavs gon make history.💯
Bump. 2024 and Doncic heading to the NBA Finals.
Real Madrid in Barcelona 😂😂
Man that aged well Luka is crazy
imagine now! haha
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...
Bruh how tf was Ryan Hollins so accurate on the draft outside of Trey Young?
They didn't give him Trey on the board
He played with Luka in Real Madrid
@@BreadVanVleet trae
@@jcampbell07 he played against him, he was playing in Gran Canaria
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.
Only wrong from Will Cain here is "Real Madrid in Barcelona" lol
Here after Luka just beat the Timberwolves to go the NBA finals
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.
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.
Props to my dude with Hollins. You can tell he works really hard on his talking and pronunciation
Ppl clown Ryan Hollins, but he hit it out the park on this one lol. Every single pick in his top 5 was where they should have gone! Get this man into a front office
even a brocken clock is right twice a day
Hot take. When he’s done with playing he’s gonna be the best pg of all time and top 5 all time player. If he stays healthy ofc.
2:58 from Real Madrid in Barcelona 😂 That only shows ignorance from americans when it comes to Europe, you know nothing about world besides your 300 year history only, of your own country and not even that
CZIF KIF it’s not ignorance your countries just don’t matter to us
Swag Money What you mean by saying „your countries”? You don’t even know where I come from that’s the first thing, secondly americans know nothing about europe or any other part of world, their own descent or any other country. That’s what I call an ignorance. We been taught about usa, so why they don’t do that in states about europe? That’s where all these stereotypes about americans come from. Btw. I can name at least half of your states with biggest cities in there.
your gonna judge a continent sized country of 300 million on the geographical knowledge of a random sports analyst?
CZIF KIF nice job on judging 300 million people by one statement 🙄
They are american. what do you expect?
“Playing for Real Madrid in Barcelona” 😂🥴🥴
This aged well
like fineeee wineeeee
I remember when Stephen A Smith used to referred him as the slow european kid
“From Real Madrid and Barcelona”
He never played for Barca. Saying he played for Barca and Madrid, is like saying Kobe played for the Lakers and the Celtics. Not only is it wrong, but it’s saying someone played for two bitter rival teams.
It’s was likely just a mental slip, he meant to say Spain but was thinking about his next point and just made a mental flub.
after watching ryan hollins on several shows, i'm pretty sure he picked luka just to be controversial, in other words, he got lucky.
Like he said, played in europe. He knows the guy
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.
the actual only footage of Ryan Hollins being correct on television, a rare moment in Sports Media
I'm glad Luka got picked and traded to Mavs, because the dude fits perfectly there.
I'll be honest, I thought he was gonna be like a Hedo Turkoglu type of guy in the league because he has almost the same type of built and play style. Crazy how a couple of IQ points could mean a huge difference for two very similar players.
He reminded me of Joe Johnson as far as body type and shot creating before the draft. Hedo was another good comp because of the playmaking at that size
Trae Young wasn’t an option on Ryan hollies list😂😂😂
2nd best player from the draft class tho
He wasn't there on the board
Srikar chowdary 5O6 that’s what we are saying. He wasn’t on the board and he was the second best in the draft.
Rowan Basketball. And LEGO stop motions Hollins is ‘big’. Young is gnat to him (he was wrong in this case ofcourse).
watching this in 2024 is even crazier
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.
Lol the comparisons always according to the ethnicity instead of the actual skills and talent.
Whos here after he made the finals?
Phx could’ve have Luka at the first pick selection and a center like Robert Williams at the 10th pick via trade
A couple of teams passed up on Luka Doncic because Ryan Hollins picked him as his No. 1 pick.
When it was luka’s turn the video ended.. I was waiting for the praises for Luka but the video was cut shot wtf
From Real Madrid in Barcelona. 2.58. Will Cain knows Spain.
Saw this after the Mavs are up 3-0 vs the Timberwolves
And y'all say Ryan hollins is dumb lol😂😂😂
He is but he was oddly great at analyzing these prospects
That’s actually a fair comparison , Gordon Hayward almost played liked Luka back in Utah he was most of the time handling the ball
Ryan Hollins should stay being an analysis for future prospect.
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
Imagine the Suns with Luka and Book
2 chips by now
After that Game 7, Ayton is pretty close to Hibbert now
Where can I find an analyze career that you can get full benefits, 6 figures, tons of followers on social media and I can get it wrong every single time without getting fired?
Are we gonna ignore that Trae Young isnt even an option for that top 5 list?
Crazy how Shai was not on the top 5 on the last clip and he's the only one that can go man to man with Luka in this draft class
Wow for once Ryan was spot on about these youngsters
Luka deserves flowers. I was a talkin the predraft hype trash too...euro guys were stereotyped.
He's a great player when Dallas has the ball. Still could become much better at the other half of it but 73 speaks for itself.
