Both guys are 3/4 depending on matchups and we just need to get Giannis more touches and shots. I suspect he'll become less passive the more he plays and until then, he's probably best coming off the bench.
Going forward, which Kevin is Giannis trending towards - Durant or Garnett?
I'm thinking Garnett. I think Giannis is more special as a 4 (potentially 5) with his length, agility, and handle. I like the idea of him getting the ball more often directly from stops (higher percentage of getting rebounds, steals, blocks, loose balls while closer to the basket), and pushing it down the court. I like him better offensively inside the arc. You can high and low post him, and he can make the passes or use his physical gifts to get to the basket/line.
Jabari can play the 3. He'll get better at shooting from range, and it'll be easier to hide him defensively.
If we've got Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett, then all we need is Ray Allen.
I dont mind the KG statement but when KG came in he was a 3. As he got older he became a a 4 then 5. Untill Giannis atheltism starts to wain hell be fine at the 3 in a point forward role. His jumper will develop. Kids 19 for christ sake
People are getting real impatient here. It's going to be a long few years for some on this board.
