yea...after The Last Dance dropped, I started watching MJ highlights and then other players highlights and I like Giannis but he has a long way to go still. It was night and day the fluidity and skillset of Jordan compared to today's MVP
He is still very raw...footwork leaves a lot to be desired, handle is average at best, shooting...well we don't have to get into that, post game is ok but can also be developed, and even his free throws have regressed...he has skills, his understanding of knowing where to be at the right time is great, has very good floor vision and he can break down the holes in even the best defense, but when a team has the right defensive pieces 
he has to work on his footwork and ball handling first as that will create a solid foundation for his offensive game...then he needs to work on moves around the basket and attaining a more natural shooting form, & that's a lot for a guy this deep in his career and accomplished as he is.

I'd agree with all of this if Giannis was a traditional player, but he's anything but traditional. His path to greatness will be different IMO. He geometrically takes up too much space on the court to play like a guard. I think the answer for him will be to play as he does with some additions to his post game, and as you said, an improved jumper and free throw. At his build and length, fluidity and finesse are probably not going to be the way his game develops.

yea he's not a traditional guard or big but the traditional route still has to be understood and implemented within one's game as a foundation for development. He doesn't have to break out crazy crosses, or hesis, live down in the post, etc but in tight spots, it helps greatly to have that. As of right now, when his 1st plan of attack is stopped, he is pretty useless on offense, he can't even keep attacking and make teams pay from ft line.
as for fluidity in his game...yea he is probably always gonna be awkward, don't really see much of a way to fix that...maybe he could take dancing lessons
