    Instead of Greece (or Sweden) claiming Giannis, sounds like it should be Nigeria.

    Greek Freak, Nigerian Nightmare.

    Amazing what some GM's can do with a 15th pick.

    The irony is Giannis was a 6'8 power forward when drafted. He just happened to grow three inches in a year's time.

    If the Rockets kept the pick 14th pick.

    Traded Kyle Lowry to Toronto for the 14th pick, Jeremy Lamb, Kevin Martin for James Harden.

    14th pick OKC selects Steven Adams

    Giannis Selected 15th

    Daryl Morey really did fail, Kyle Lowry won a Championship in Toronto.

    Giannis won a Championship this year.

    I think this is the only reason why the media is linking Giannis to Hakeem in terms of rank.

    Dumb.

    Morey had his flaws but he tried at least. Not his fault Bosh and Melo were just toying with him in FA.

    He traded for Lowry in the middle of a postseason run and no one knew who Kyle was.

    Giannis will never be close to Olajuwon even if he wins 3 or more Championships.

    Olajuwon is a far superior Player in Skills, IQ, makes teammates better, shot blocker.
    Can defend all 5 positions.

    Giannis had trouble with Jimmy Butler and Kawhi Leonard.
