Maybe you added him to your friends list? It isn't highlighted for me. I don't know what else that list would do.

Yeah, I have him on my friend list as well. It's highlighted for me. I would actually prefer to get a notification when he posts so I can just go directly to the post, the highlighting is useless unless you are already reading that thread.

Sometimes I get bummed by Giannis's lack of minutes, so I looked up some stats for perspective...

...and found that Giannis ranks 22nd, all time, in MPG for 19 year old rookies:

http://www.basketball-reference.com/pla ... y=mp_per_g

Of the 21 players who averaged more MPG, only 3 were drafted later than Giannis-- Parker 28th, Smoove 17th, JR Smith 18th. (Harkless was drafted 15th as well but only averaged about 90 seconds more per game than Yanni his rookie year).

The average draft position of players with more MPG as 19-year-old rooks was 6th.

Not bad for a guy many of us feared might be a D-leaguer, or even a Euro-stash project his first year!

Of course, this is all mitigated by the fact that we're having a world-class crappy year, have had tons of injuries, and have literally no reason not to play him alot of minutes but hey...

Granted the total sample size is only 81 players.

Here it is sorted by MP:
http://www.basketball-reference.com/pla ... rder_by=mp

Lots of hall of famers and allstars ahead of him. He will probably finish around 15.

I know Giannis is raw, but the great ones were great event at that age. Hopefully we some improvement with a full nba offseason.

Yep, all this really shows is that Giannis is getting a rare amount of minutes for how raw he is/how late he was picked. It puts him in some good company, sorta, but it doesn't really say anything definitive about his future.

The 60 seconds I watched of that video were beyond creepy.

Don't do it Giannis. She reeks of succubus.

Did anyone else see this on NBA.com?

http://hangtime.blogs.nba.com/2014/04/0 ... e-numbers/

on-off-court NetRtg differential (down the bottom) Wolters #1 for rookies, Dellavedova #2 and Giannas #3. Those three are well in front of ROY MCW and all have played substantial minutes.

TroyD92 · Post #593 » by **TroyD92** » Tue Apr 8, 2014 5:46 am

MCW is really not that good IMO. He had a really hot start of the year, but everything I didn't like about him became apparent as the season went along.

I am not sure if this posted again, but its an amazing story from a teen girl who lives in Miani, made a video with 34 reasons to convince Giannis to be her companion on her graduation dance.

The article is coming from a Greek website, and i put it on the google translator before post it. If anything doesnt make sense just asking me to give a better translation

That prom proposal was painfully awful.

I was doing some reading about Dirk, and his making the top 10 in scoring. Some interesting comments that made me think about Giannis and perhaps his future. No, I'm not saying he will be Dirk, but just thoughts on his talent, already.
