One thing that really worries me about exum is his possible physical fragility, Locke noted that he was heavily taped and had multiple ankle problems during his tournament games. I just hope the grueling 82 game season doesn't tear his body down.

..... that's why we have Trey Burke.

Exum has a first step that's compared to Kobe's. I've read "the fastest first step since Kobe." I can't wait to see him play.

I also can't wait to see him play. I really hope his second, third, and fourth steps are as good as Kobe's and even more so I hope his first and second shots are as good as Kobe's.
Then we'd have something.

It's called acting, playing a role and catering up to the audience, so mindless xenophobic american hillbillys don't block the telephone line at ESPN while screaming 'MURICA into the phone repeatedly while foam's coming out of their mouths.

And here we have subject #1 of the guys that I've described above.


If some ignorants knew what skillset Giannis had last year at the draft, the year before and compare that to where he is now, let me tell you:
You make yourselves look bad.
You have an almost unique body: Tell me which other player can handle the ball and move his body as dynamically like Giannis does who's 6'11 in shoes. Durant may be in that size region but I don't know anyone else in the league. Even Anthony Davis doesn't move as fluidly and he sure doesn't have his ball skills even though Davis' are impressive as well for a player his size.

If he continues to capitalize on his physical gifts, he'll become scaring good.
He's super coachable, wants to play defense, never play AAU a single second in his life, could make the Spurs roster in a heartbeat.

Don't even pretend that you have watched a large amount of Bucks basketball, because you haven't, nobody is that much of a fan of the game. NOBODY. I never said that Giannis was a bust, he is definitely better than where he was drafted. But look at the comparisons to Magic and Davis, and a Durant, but with Defense! Seriously. It's like when you watch highlights of Josh Smith. He is amazing and does stuff nobody else can. The entirety of his work is a different matter. Part of it is that I almost automatically discount a player not named Lebron a full grade if they play in the East, but the truth is that Giannis still has a lot to prove before we start throwing around "Durant with Defense!" Outperform Kanter per game statistically first, then we will talk.

1) I watched 8 full Bucks games this season(Mainly for the reasons of seeing the opposition, but Giannis was a pleasant addition)
2) Because guys like you don't look at improvement, and only at what they add to the stat sheet and where they are right now, guys like Paul George are underestimated.
NOw we have a 19 year old Giannis, who is by the way younger than Julius Randle and improving at a faster rate, entering his 2nd season with serious strengths deficits.

Only thing I said is that his potential his sky high the way he can control his magnificent body and if he can hold the speed at that he learns and adds to his game right now, he'll be very special.
