Giannis with a monster put back.

The potential in this kid is absurd. Bucks, don't stuff this one up like you did Harris.

Yes, we're planning on trading him, Henson, and Sanders for three future fourth round picks, Scalabrine, and an old pair of sneakers. The way our front office does deals I might be only slightly exaggerating.

Right? I'm sitting here as a Wizards fan saying how is that a problem at all? The bottom 3-4 bigs in Cleveland's rotation would be better than most of our frontcourt.

You can never have too many big bodies out there. And big bodies with skill? Even better.

Cody Zeller had a pretty bad game tonight against Sanders after having two decent ones. The Bobcats are experimenting a lot though with his position on the court, I'm sure he'll be fine once the season starts

Wrong Zeller.

That is the Cavs one.

I honestly like what I saw even though the end result wasn't the best. He didn't hesitate going up against Henson/Sanders and nights where that jumper is falling they can't play off of him and he can put the ball on the floor better. Also your guards (Walker, Pargo, Gordon) were doing nothing to help him out either.

Well, that will be a problem all season long. All the Bobcats guards think shot first, pass second.

after only watching him a few times it looks like giannis' ceiling is lebron.

theyre similar as passers, and that's the most important thing.

Bennett, Oladipo, Cody Zeller, and Ben Mac have all looked pretty decent in the preseason. Maybe this draft isn't that terrible after all.

Closer to Batum than LeBron or Durant. All 3 are top notch passers at the SF position, but there is a huge difference between the first one and the other two. Giannis would have to put on a ton of muscle to match LeBron physically - I don't think his body will let him do that (though after a few years work he could come back looking like Durant does this year).
