My Pops Forever RIP
But they werent actual PG's. They were just 2 guards playing out of position in Steve Smith's case a bigger guard who could handle the ball and create.

Steve Smith had his best success in Atlanta playing at the 2 spot

Giannis will NOT play PG at the NBA level. He's a point forward.

The thing these fools fail to understand is that your position is not always just what is expected of you on offense. It''s also who you guard on defense.

If a 7 footer can handle the ball and distribute like any PG, unless he can guards the typically smaller quicker PG's on defense he will still be just a Center.

Dont read too much in to the "just a" part.

Right now, unless he can improve his speed and agility, he's just a young Lamar Odom when he came into the league.

Milwaukee's close to moving rookie phenom Giannis Antetokounmpo into starting lineup, league sources tell Yahoo. Bucks host Knicks tonight.

The potential this young dude got is :ohlawd:

That tall still growing can handle the ball. With that wingspan.......if they start him I'ma start checking for Bucks games.

He showed some flashes here and there so far in limited minutes.....

Danny Ainge said he's the new Scottie Pippen, and intends to draft him

-6'9
-7'2 wingspan
-196 lbs
-18 years old
-plays pg oversees
-anthony davis like growth spurt over last few years

looks like he could be a lock down defender with his length and mobility, and could be a problem offensively as well

Celtics drafted 16 and Giannis went 15. Can you imagine this guy on the Celtics? Danny Ainge is light years ahead
