    Exactly. I don't like Giannis for various reasons (Harden diss, etc) but he's a legitimate MVP, and easily one of the best players on earth right now. If you appreciate basketball, gotta respect greatness

    Agree! Capela did develop well and ended up being a really good pick. I remember Capela insisting that he come over to NBA when Rockets wanted him to stay overseas a little bit (am I recalling it right), he took ownership of his own development, didn't complain, and learned to play with Harden effectively (run to the rim, play defense, catch lobs, etc) Here's hoping Garuba does the same but I wouldn't be shocked if he doesn't. I don't think Capela is the norm and many late first round picks don't necessarily pan out. We had 4 1st round picks and if 3 of them pan out, that's not bad at all

    Too early to tell with Garuba but the fact that he at least already dominated the gleague is a good start. It’s a foundation.

    He had some dominant games before being recalled. It’s some threads on it

    Just say you have never watched him play.

    That's more honest.

    after you mentioned, i watched the highlights. Played only 12 minutes for Spain which is understandable at this stage of his career.

    Right now he is a G-league player and giannis would destroy his skinny a** if he was on to defend him.

    Let us not get delusional.

    Never said i know too much about him at first place. Since the giannis is the mvp and an offensive beast and garuba is only a g-league player, notion stands.

    never disrespected the guy. only pointed out it was way too optimistic to believe he can 'contain' giannis. heck, why is that so hard to understand?

    They should have left him in the G league to get more run.

    C*nt, you know little more than i do about this guy so stop b*tching.

    I only told that NBA's mvp wont be contained by a g-league guy THATS ****ING BECAUSE GARUBA PLAYS AT G-LEAGUE.

    You may finger your arsehole all you want about how good this kid is, he wont be stopping giannis anytime soon. If saying that would make me an idiot, than so be it.

    I am not a troll, you called me, a guy you know nothing about an idiot out of thin air and blamed me of jumping to conclusions. See your contradiction there?

    People claim a kid who never played a minute in NBA (just 12 against team USA) could contain MVP. When i object (as any sane person would do) you become bitter bit*hes as if i said he is garbage. Never saw the guy played CAUSE HE ALMOST NEVER PLAYED. You claim he is a masterclass defender who is stuck in G-League based on what ? 3 min. youtube videos?

    Garuba neeeds to prove himself in NBA A LOT before we can call him 'MVP STOPPER' and you bitter bitc*es need to stfu and let it sink.

    No idea how good Garuba will be in the NBA long term. He clearly has the talent to be a good to very good defender. However his offensive game is really up in the air.
