Giannis' Development

[HaroldinGMinor]

I realize how stupid this sounds, but I really would like to see Fred Hoiberg coach this team.

Bulls fans would be fine with that.

[diener34]

I would honestly trade Kidd for Hoiberg straight up, if bucks could hire a new competent GM.

Ahhh. Part of me misses our resident troll. He even started to migrate to the Packers board before he left.

Looking back he was mildly entertaining.

Nevermind. He was a troll

[humanrefutation]

Of all the things that have impressed me about Giannis this season, the way he's developed physically is probably the most promising aspect. He went from tall and lanky to legitimately physically imposing. He's been putting the work in.

If the kid can develop a consistent, reliable jumpshot, he's undoubtedly going to be a Top 5 player in the NBA.

[ZeppelinPage]

Second, Wiggins is much further along than Giannis. I would trade a package of Giannis + more to get him easily but minny would decline

[Jez2983]

His passing has been a disappointment to me, I thought that was his strength...

Jordan's two entries on that list happened within two weeks of each other. He was hot in January 85. Along with every other month he played.

I think he was initially just a guy who wanted to share a level-headed critique of Giannis. People started picking apart his points and he wasn't eloquent enough/just don't care to refute them intelligently. Then he reached a tipping point (16 ppg MAX) where he realized he was just trolling and he embraced it.

[Ron Swanson]

Viewing Dcebucks1's post history is like watching the transformation of Smeagol into Gollum. Never go full Troll.

[HKPackFan]

Post ASB: 24games, 18.9PPG, 51%FG, 65.5 FT% (this went down), 8.7RPG, 7.5APG, 1.5SPG, 1.8BPG, 5 TD, 13 DDs.


Amazing that everything went up, while TO's stayed the same, PF's also went down to 2.9 from 3.4. The only stat that did not improve was the FT % from 75.8 to 65.5.

[Prez]

Where would you guys rank him as a player according to his post ASB play? Like if he played like this all season

[Prince12]

Pushing top 20. Maybe he won't be ranked that highly around the league because we completely suck but as an individual player, he's been that damn good.

[blazza18]

Hard not to see a 20/8/8/2/2 guy as a top 10 player.

[RRyder823]

Hard not to see a 20/8/8/2/2 guy as a top 10 player.

If the team has a record like the Bucks have post ASB it's hard to see any player on that roster being considered a top 10 guy no matter what his stats are.

Closest comp would've been Love but he also had to put up huge numbers for multiple seasons to be considered top ten and even then there were plenty of people keeping him out of that category simply because his team was still so bad

[mosby]

the more i watch giannis play the more i am convinced the kd , westbrook comparisons are wrong.
This guy has Scottie Pippen written all over him. (if we must compare him with someone)
i don't think he will ever be the top scorer in his team (if its a top team) but the top player in his team.
