A nickname? What about "T-Mac of Europe"? No wait, already taken...

Re: Giannis Antetokounmpo
I made a thread about him in May. I thought he was for sure the player with the most upside in this draft and was really worried that OKC was going to get him. His coordination, left hand and handle is amazing at his age. I saw him run full speed, dribble and dunk left handed like only John Wall can do with the off hand. Also has great court vision. Was making threes pretty easy too.
The argument against him was weird to me. Like he couldn't adjust to bigger fast guys but they have no evidence of that. Especially when he looked taller and faster than anybody I have seen since Durant.

with God-given ass
Re: Giannis Antetokounmpo
He's looked great in his first two games. He moves so well for a guy his size and unlike most skinny tall guards, he actually has a nice frame to put on some muscle. And he's only 18. Way more polished than I thought he would be. Probably the best looking rookie I have seen thus far.
He does move a bit like TMac. I've been surprisingly impressed with his offensive and defensive potential already. The Bucks have a nice future with Sanders, Henson, and this-long-named-kid-who-badly-needs-a-nickname. If they would just tank for once to get their future PG or aim for Parker or Wiggins...

It's also hilarious how he puts up better stats in the NBA than he did in the SECOND division in Greece.

NBA Legend
Re: Giannis Antetokounmpo
He just seems to be an athletic prodigy with a crazy wingspan. But we have to wait at least until he is 22 to see if he will be a Carmelo or a Miguel (I forgot his name ) Pietrus. I remember Pietrus had crazy athleticism but he was raw and he didn't become what his talent was supposed to show.
