You can't judge international players based on anything else because of the level of competition.

His jumper definitely is not wet.

He has shown flashes of tunnel vision on the break but that can be attributed to the lack of talent around him.

Giannis wasn't projected as a lottery pick based on the players he went against.

That's why he's a blank canvas until further notice IMO. He's got an elite first step and high-end athleticism - that much is true, that's his only selling points at this point in time. I can't see how dudes are evaluating him when they don't know his qualities and flaws, I mean like I said before, you can't buy and sell him off estimated guesses.

And I ask you how many games of his have you watched? And what role did his team require him to play?

To be honest, from what I've seen (which is very minimal), there's nothing wrong with his form - no hitch, releases near his peak. Only trouble is shot selection and his stop-and-pop - mostly from constantly playing in one gear.

He clearly has a set shot. No lift and has a really slow release

Minimal lift I can see, but really slow release? Nah. He certainly looks better on the surface, in catch and shoot (+ one dribble) situations opposed to off the dribble.

I really dont need this guy going to cleveland. Theyve had enough good picks. Ideally he should be a laker (a much better possibility than Embiid) but im thinking he ends up in Orlando since hes the "new ppenny". Id hate to waist his talent in cleveland plus they got waiters, jack and deng. No room for another guard

What? You think cuz Cleveland is the kings of that tank life that GOAT franchise can't win them wars? This GOAT franchise tank got no limit, we bout it. Embiid gon have the killing ways of Kobe and the skills of Kareem. Brehs is right, Exum would work best with another young back court player to work off of. I don't like the idea of him being Kobe's "replacement".

Ideally, the perfect situation for him would be Philly or Cleveland.


Sources close to the Sixers have said Exum is 3rd on the Sixers board behind Wigins and Parker, him and MCW would be a problem


Quiet kept Philly is modeling the Spurs in the construction of their team and our coach Brett Brown has said this, Exum could play the Ginobli role on Philly as a playmaking scorer, Noel is the rim protector like Tiago Splitter is for SA, Thad Young is the lockdown wing defender like Kawhi Leonard who plays the 3 or the 4, MCW is the floor general like Tony Parker, only thing needed would be a post playmaker like Duncan but good luck finding that :wow:


Maybe Vonleh with that second pick maybe :ld: I'm pulling at straws here :why:

I can't wait for those MCW Vs Exum battles. :wow:


What if they on the same team tho....:patrice:

If greg monroe had even a decent defensive end iq and improvement that would be a perfect pick because he has post moves and is great at playmaking for a big

There's a full game of him, played SG mostly.

Finished with 33, 5 , 4 and 4, the comp isn't great obviously but it's a step above HS.

Props on that (I've only seen the highlights). Only seen one game of his, against Lithuania - the first step he showed multiple times was :whoo:


Yeah, this dude is like big foot right now, only so much footage of him exists :russ:

The SG position lacks talent, so a dude with his height + handle and quickness is like :blessed: when we finally see a prospect. Like you said, it's hard to say what he will become, the potential is there, but that step up in comp is gonna be :merchant: for him.

GOAT franchise gon have a photo finish in the tank wars. We no limit wit this tank, ughhh.
:why: I ain't gon lie tho....I'm shook at the thought of the Lakers being in tank race with Philly :wow: It looks much more enticing to the NBA to let the Lakers get the number 1 pick and get Embiid, Wiggins or Parker pushing Philly out the race :to: Kobe come back
