He actually looks incredibly fluid and athletic.

Moves like a SG at 7'1" IMO.

nah man look at how he walks. I'm telling he will have serious knee issues very quickly.

Like in the beginning on this video watch how he is walking before he drops the box.

Bradley Beal had the same kind thing going on, and just like I though he has serious knee issues and is now on a permanent minutes per game limit

He has talent, but his only hope is if they play him at Center and allow him to be more perimeter oriented while Giannis & Jabari operate inside the 3 line. I don't see how he fits their team unless they play him at center, because Giannis/Jabari alternate playing the 4.


Superstar is a huge reach.

I think they play him on the perimeter as a stretch 5.

Superstar is no reach. He's got one of a kind athletic gifts to go with a potentially devastating set of skills in terms of ball handling and jump shooting.

He can't and won't be a traditional big.

But he can be a new age Garnett or more athletic Chris Bosh.

I would be surprised if Maker even ended up being a 10 year starter for someone. I wouldn't have thought that probably if he was 19 but at 23 his ceiling isn't as high and he probably is what he is at this point.

That is the only place they can play him long term, they have their 2, 3 and 4 set for the future unless they move Jabari the 5 is the only spot he can play.

Superstar is a huge reach for a guy that wasn't even dominant against HS players, there's a much higher chance of him being a bust than there is of him being a superstar. He has the work ethic to be good (regardless of age), but they are taking a big gamble.

Wiggins is CLEARLY better than both Giannis and KAT.

I'm not sure what you are trying to say? You must be a casual basketball fan

:mjlol:

Giannis is a better ballhandler, rebounder, passer, playmaker, defensive player, more efficient scorer, and has better vision.

Wiggins scores a whopping 3 more points on much lower efficiency despite being the "best scorer" on his team.

And anyone who thinks Wiggins is better than KAT is a fukking moron.

16.9 PPG (50% shooting) / 7.7 REB / 4.3 AST (2.6 TOV) / 1.2 STL / 1.4 BLK



VS.

20.7 PPG (45% shooting) / 3.6 REB :mjlol: / 2 AST (2.2 TOV) :mjlol: / 1 STL / 1 BLK

Giannis shyts on Wiggins in pretty much every category, is a much better all-around player, and has a bigger impact on his team. Wiggins grabs less rebounds than STEPH CURRY and nikkas think he's elite.

Wiggins can't even average more assists than his center in KAT who is also grabbing double digit rebounds while dropping 18.3 PPG on sky high efficiency. :mjlol:

:mjlol: KAT is for sure on his way to HOF level,you tripping:russ:

And Giannis is something we've never seen before:mjlol:

Send me what you smoking breh:mjcry:


You analytics clowns never learn ya lesson do you?

I told y'all Anthony Davis was not that good. Yet you tried to convince folks he was an all-time great last year.

Don't fall for the same trick with Towns.

He'll be a all-star but this all-time great talk after a decent rookie year is crazy.

Towns doesn't have the athletic ceiling to be all-time great. He's right now about as good as he'll ever be.

Right now it's Giannis, towns.....than Wiggins. But towns seems to get better every game I can see him being a top 5 player in 2 years he's getting better that quickly.

Smh.

You guys really don't see it.

Towns is approaching his ceiling. He's not gonna be much better in 2 years.

Wiggins hasn't even scratched the surface.

I'll give Towns credit for being more polished early in his career. But he's not a high ceiling athletic freak like Wiggins.

Show me where I said Anthony Davis was an all time great,i never said that.

I said Towns can be an HOF,not an all time great,when you think of all time greats,you think of MJ,Lebron,Wilt,etc

Steve Nash will be a HOF,Towns can reach that level.

But I'm not going by stats,I'm going by the eye test,Towns and Giannis is better than Wiggins bruh.

I bet you thought Curry was better than Kyrie during the regular season?

Or you thought last year Anthony Davis was a top 5 players?

Analytics will lead you to more stupid declarations.

Bruh just look at the talent. I'll refrain from talking about Giannis cause I haven't watched him alot.

But I watched a ton of twolves games. Towns is the classic overachiever. He plays hard every snap. But has a limited ceiling.

Wiggins is the opposite. He's the super talented underacheiver who only goes 100% when pushed.

Look how Wiggins performed whenever he played the Cavs, Warriors, or Kobe. Then compare it to when they would play Brooklyn and he sleep walks the entire game.


Wiggins is the guy who has barely scratched the surface of his potential.

Towns is pretty much what he'll be in his prime right now. I don't see much room for growth.
