Really? You are going to give me TJ McConnell to make your point? He is a nice heady player, not a savant. There are multiple guys like him on every team. That’s like using Chris Ford as a comp for Larry Bird before the 1978 draft.
Yes, I know Jalyen’s situation in college. I also know that Doncic was playing against men 10 years older than him in the second best basketball league in the world and was the MVP.
He has elite vision and BBIQ to go along with an advanced handle and superb passing skills. Those qualities trump athleticism which in his case is more than adequate. Also, at 6‘8“ and 220 pounds, he is going to fit in defensively in today’s switchable NBA.
