This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Just tough to project by BmoreIrish
The NBA draft is littered with big guys who may have some skill but are raw. It is difficult to project who will be able to adjust to playing against really big, athletic guys. What makes Jokic unique is how he has developed his game to neutralize his limitations, particularly how he manipulates the ball above his head both in shooting and passing.
He didn't come in with all of this, though, and he has worked incredibly hard. The most noticeable aspect is how in shape he is - he is able to hustle up and down the floor for 40 minutes. That was certainly not the case a few years ago, and is pretty rare for a guy his size in general.
He is, in my opinion, the most fun guy in the league to watch right now.
