    Long arms are long!

    Meanwhile, what is that horrid floor ... in Minnesota? It says "Pentagon" on it and looks exactly like a pool of barf.

    To think this guy's draft stock fell when he said he wasn't willing to be stashed in Europe this year.

    Reminds me of a very young Magic Johnson except Giannis' will be more of a scorer.

    Wow. Is he a PG? He looks like a young Magic, with even better shooting.

    He was really climbing the boards pre-draft....he went from late 20s to almost top 10 in like a week, IIRC, and actually went 15th. If the hype would have started earlier for him, i think he definitely would have gone 8 or 9.

    Long arms are long.

    Is it just me or does he gave no vertical. It seems like his arms are so long that it only gives the appearance of super athleticism.

    Also, lol at the announcers nickname for him because he can't pronounce his name. The Alphabet.

    He'll become what people wanted Batum to become. Maybe be like a Luol Deng but with a bit of sexiness to his game.

    I don't see Durant-ish skills though. Best case scenario would be Paul George if he progresses year after year. And that would be damn good, to be sure, but he's not Durant.

    Lets not get carried away. Magic won an NBA title as the best player on his team that had Kareem on it at age 20.

    Not enough skills to be a star perimeter player.

    Gain weight and become KG/Dirk

    wow. 18 years old. Kid knows what he wants to do when he gets the ball. Quick and decisive in those vids.

    He might be better than a 24yr old, second year Tayshaun Prince right now.

    the bucks should play

    Larry Sanders
    John Henson
    Ekpe Udoh
    Greek Freak
    oj mayo

    at the same time and go for the best defensive team in the league in an attempt to win games, oj mayo can jack up 60+ shots a night like he wants and those 4 bigs can rebound all the misses and dont require the ball

    Those highlights show me a mix of Tayshaun and KD (that step back fade shot) in his game. Hopefully he pans out for the Bucks. Coloniel and The Alphabet

    I've seen comparisons to

    1.KG
    2.Dirk
    3.Kevin Durant
    4.Magic Johnson

    guys, this dude is more likely to be jerome moiso than any of those guys GTFO.

    What else should I expect from a forum that thought jeremy lin was the next steve nash and D-Mo was the next dirk and Royce White was the next rodman.
