Mario Hezonja will be a star in this league.

[kurple]

Why?

Booker is a smaller, less athletic, less talented and less crafty version of Hezonja.

With Hezonja you get a better, more athletic, less streaky version of Gallinari.

i've seen you make this comparison before and it stinks.. Hezonja doesnt play like Gallo at all. No playmaking, no getting to the FT line, no defense

Booker is a better shooter, better defender, and mover MUCH better without the ball.

Hezonja is like a taller JR Smith/Rudy Fernandez, while Booke to me seems like a slightly shorter Klay Thompson

[kurple]

Both Booker and Oubre are less multi faceted than Hezonja, but Mario will be the one that busts?

Booker and Hezonja both have great shots, but at least Mario has the athleticism and ability to drive if that isn't falling. Booker isn't anywhere near as athletic.

does he really have the ability to drive?

He's a monster in the open court, but really shy of contact in halfcourt. And both Booker and Oubre seems to have quicker first steps and are better at attacking close-outs

I like that JR Smith comparison

Not really bad if you're getting either him or Booker, one has that mentality that he can explode for 30 any night while the other is your prototypical shooter SG

Said it in the Porzingis thread, but I'll say it again here. Next James Harden.

do you even think before you post? Hardens biggest weapon is his ability to get to the FT line

Hezonjas IMO biggest problem is the fact that he never, ever gets to the FT line

[kurple]

the fact that you use DX videos to prove a point says something

i like their videos. but its their opinion

and i have watched more than enough of Mario, Devin and Kelly to have my own opinion

[Eric Cartman]

Gotta side with kurple here.

Poor man's Rudy Fernandez.

[kurple]

he averaged 0.18 FTA per game in the spanish league, as a 6'8 SG who is one of the most athletic players in the league

how is that even possible?

and how that isnt a red flag to everyone is minblowing to me

he thinks he's a superstar, but dont want to play like one.

I don't go to DX unless it's for international prospects.

I don't have access to the film they have of player's in-season and FIBA games.




I have the complete opposite opinion watching Mario, he's gonna make a really good slasher. He has a quick first step and explodes off the ground like Russell Westbrook. I think his best bet is playing a 6'8" SG where he has a size advantage over defenders.

Plenty of factors can account to that.

How refs call fouls oversees, how the Spanish League defends the drive, how Mario attacks the rim.

I've watched Mario and I know he can explode off the drive and get to the rim, then you look at the DX statistics and see he's 2nd in 2 point FG% for wings in the draft.

thats probably because 70% of his 2pt attempts were fastbreak dunks

and its 0.18... i could understand if it was a bit higher, but 0.18 in over 30 games is mind blowing

Here's a 22 point game vs. Real Madrid (18 points scored in 2nd half)

He's getting overrated here. Pau Gasol was already doing big things in Europe by his age. People say he's ridiculously athletic but that's against soft unfit and unathletic Euros competition. Definitely Not worth a lottery pick.
