What am I missing? How are Bender and Doncic even remotely comparable?
Both are Slavs. And that's where the comparison stops.

What MMC meant with "Bender part 2" is a bust. He thinks Doncic will bust like Bender. Bit harsh calling Bender a bust.
Yeah, I got that part. But even if you think Bender is a bust, what is it about Doncic that would make you (not you specifically) think that he will be as well? The Slav thing?
For what it’s worth, David Griffin says that the Sixers are looking to move into the top 5. The only reason to do that that makes sense to me would be to go after Doncic. And I would also assume that the only way to make that happen would be to trade Fultz (Simmons and Embbid being off the table).
If they can trade Fultz to get Doncic, they should do it in a heartbeat.
Really, if they can get a Top-4 pick in this draft for Fultz, it's a huge win.
Too bad they don't have a GM to negotiate that deal.
Bender hasn't developed how I hoped, that's sure. he showed far more promise as a prospect. He needs to bulk up and be more assertive. With that being said, comparing him to Dončić is a bit absurd.
Sixers should stay put imo. Keep Fultz and draft someone like Porter or Knox.
They’ve had Knox in for a 2nd workout so they’re definitely interested in him. If they stay at 10 my guess is they take either Knox or Mikal Bridges. I don’t think Porter is a great fit and given the Sixers recent history with injuries to their draft picks I’d be shocked if they took Porter. I think he’ll go before 10 anyway.
I don't think that he is now. He didn't release his medical info to the Kings nor has he worked out for them. Bagley has done both and says he wants to play here. I'm guessing he's taken at 2 tomorrow, which I would be fine with because Bagley has #1 potential.Doncic is a euroleague MVP and led his team to a title and his country to a euro basket championship. At 19.
Why are people comparing this guy to Bender? Other than being from the same country, different player, different position.
Doncic is going #2 to Sacramento.
Fingers crossed that Young goes to the Magic. They need a point guard in the worst way. The likes of Purvis, Mack and Augistin aren't gonna get it done.
I might have a stroke if that happens. But if the Kings are smart they just take him at 2. But otherwise the Magic would be crazy to not do thatIf Doncic fell to 4th would you do Biyombo + 6th for Parsons + 4th. Take on around 8mil the next two years with Parsons but bringing him back home and keeping him as a rotation guy might get the best of him. Doncic could be a point forward like Simmons. Fournier - Doncic - Gordon is a good young group. Vucevic still a serviceable C and could be moved at the deadline if we're out of it.

Reports are that it's looking like Ayton, Bagley then Doncic so we would need to make a second deal to go from 4th to 3rd.
