This guy is just incredible and you don't hear about him ever bc he plays for the Bucks. He just turned 22 and is averaging

23 points
8.5 rebounds
5.5 assists
2 blocks
1.7 steals

while shooting

52% from the field
78% at the line

His only weakness right now is lack of 3 point shot, but again he is just 22 and his potential just seems limitless. Does this guy bring a title to milwaukee one day? Seems unfathomable, but he seems like a best player in the NBA type guy in 4 years when he is only 26, if he keeps developing.

Better than Harden.

Not as good as Lebron.

He's a stud and will only get better. If he develops a 3 point shot he could really special. He really doesn't have a ceiling.

I think he'll definitely be the best player in the league at some point. He has potential to be better than James.

When he came into the league. I said he could be another Kevin Durant. While he will never be the nearly the scorer Durant is, he can and will be a better all-around player. I strongly believe that.

No. He'll probably leave to join some superteam in a glamour city.

I think he's incredible. His body control and footwork is unbelievable. Not to mention his length and size make him nearly impossible to guard as well as him being an extremely capable defender. As far as a basketball ceiling I haven't a clue. The dude looks like some futuristic genetically modified human designed to frick shite up.

His ceiling is Giannis.

There isn't anyone quite like him, nor is it easy to pigeonhole his game.

He's picked up his scoring, to be certain, but part of that is because of Jabaari Parker of the exploding knee being unreliable.

He needs help in Milwaukee, or he's going to end up with another Sidney Moncrief type career in the big M-- very respected, widely known, but never given quite his due as a player.

Kirilenko was garbage you have to be kidding. Giannis is a franchise player with easy decade of dominance ahead of him now

He is one of a kind. I would be shocked if he doesn't win an MVP at some point. He's already one of the 10 best all around players in the league and he's 22

If he can really develop his jump shot he'll be a perennial MVP candidate.
