To be fair he's been pretty damn good at it. He's gotten to the line, scored, or drew some double teams almost every time.

This has happened before. When the regular season starts he kind of turns into a pumpkin with the foul calls.

That's true, but he even looks more in control of himself. Usually, he's just a huge spaz and when he does have a decent game, it's because he spazzed it up. He looks competent today :lol:

Impressed by Thanasis. I even saw a mini wall forming against him in the third quarter

We were not a pressure defense either, and the whistle tends to go with the energy. It could be that playing him alongside other energy, pressure, defenders gets him a better whistle.

Wiggs has been solid as well. Not a bad emergency pg.

Maybe the game finally "slowed down" for him.

Marj has a long way to go offensively.

Yeah maybe I was wrong and he needs to be a guy playing with the starters and just shooting 3s right now. He looks like he is overthinking his offensive movement.

Let's see how he feeds off Giannis and Dame's gravity first.

If only Thanasis could learn a simple jump 2 feet stop move and a jumper/floater/layup...

Don't have a chance to watch unfortunately Thanasis def seems like more of a Coach Griff guy esp with his emphasis on toughness & competing, the "they can't call everything" mantra works a lot better for him than "let it fly".

That was pretty as hell lol.

When Bud said let it fly, he assumed coach meant his fist.

Drew Timme getting more play here than he did for most of Summer League.

That was a strong eurostep by AJJ. Giannis like.

Obviously something got lost in translation.

It was a professional move. But is he having too much fun?
