    I am sure GMs didn't pick him because they couldn't pronounce his name.

    For all the talk about Wiggins being a "one in a generation" athletic freak of nature, Giannis impresses me much more. I wonder if Giannis would not have been drafted 1st overall had he deferred declaring for the draft and spent one year in college or at a high profile euro club. He seems every bit as athletic as Wiggins but can also actually handle the rock and shoot decently.

    Probably would have been top 5. Giannis exploded up boards leading to the draft but a lot of excitement was killed when he announced he would NOT spend a year in Europe.

    he's maturing into that body and his confidence continues to grow. This guy has some serious potential. Not even 21 yet damn

    Looks like he bulked up. Lol @ that flop hop at 2.20, Humphries looks like a grenade went off behind him.

    He is probably the only one I know that is over 6'7 that can really benefit from Hakeem.

    Interesting that Rockets also passed on a freak of nature.

    To draft a smaller one, granted.
