This Trae vs. Luka argument reminds of the Chris Paul, Deron Williams arguments.

I've come around on Trae big time, he's too good of a passer to not like. He'll cut down the dumb 3s in the NBA since he'll actually have legitimate players around him.

Luka is too good too early. You're not supposed to be this good at his age. Too much skill combined with IQ to pass up on. How much better can he really get though?
 
I think Collins got more overall skills...but Bagley been getting buckets with ease at every level he played at
 
Both scored in pretty similar fashions and their numbers were pretty close as well. Collins was a better FT shooter. Both were poor defenders.
 
If Lonzo could do things off the dribble, had some semblance of touch in the paint, and played with an attitude, he'd be Luka. Still not a #1 option franchise changer, but a #3 perhaps?

 
I’m just trying to figure out why you think the comparison is disrespectful to Lonzo. The likely situation is that you don’t actually have an answer, so you just resort to saying “lol”.

There's two sides to a basketball court for starters. And nothing in that video or anything other that I've seen of this dude screams he's a better prospect than Zo.
 
Did MPJ stock solely drop because of the injury and not playing much at all in college? Or is it something else scouts are seeing that causes him not to be a #1 pick like he originally listed before the college season?

Does anyone consider this like the Embiid situation? Kyrie situation? The talent is there, but the injuries/plus lack of college tape is hurting him? I need answers on MPJ because I'm scared.

Think it's definitely almost all due to the injury. Don't know why he came back to play honestly. Still think kid has the goods and somebody is going to get a steal.
