His lack of shooting ability.


Giannis was the best player in the NBA this season and shot 31% on jump shots and 27% from 3.. scored 28 points a game somehow

Zion will step into the league with a better stroke and will get to the line a ton. He will be a 20 ppg scorer easily, especially stepping into the role he will play in NOP

Yeah. Giannis is an elite freak of nature player. If you score efficiently, it doesn't really matter how you do it.

OF course it helps that the Bucks have a really, really smart FO that surrounded him with the perfect complimentary players.

I will say his form is concerning. Takes him a long time to get a shot off. Hopefully somebody works with him on that and they don't just let him get away with it because of his other strengths.

his shooting mechanics are real good but he will need to be a little quicker.

plus he's coachable because it improved a lot since hs.

he has shown the ability and willingness to knock down clutch 3s.

now ben Simmons, that's a dysfunctional shooting form

hes not a shooter. normally something like that would be a big red flag for me, but he is so generationally talented at what hes good at that you have to take him #1

I do too, but Simmons needs to do some research and learn that the football people don't run the Pels anymore. He's still harping on that point.

Blake Griffin 2.0 or better*



*This is not a diss attempt. Pre injury Blake was damn near unstoppable.

Rodman as a comp is absolutely wild


He’s Larry Johnson, Shawn Kemp, Barkley, Blake Griffin. But more athletic than any of them and is made of concrete

Blake is dumb and a totally unreliable bball Iq

Whoa man. I know you take him number 1. I would take him over Davis if we only know what we knew at the time of his draft. Just pointing out one thing.

If pels weren't getting him I was hoping he would bust hard. Sick of the hype around him.

Simmons also has this dumb idea that the Pels were about to be sold by Gayle. Which is completely false. He seems to have pushed that to Russillo because they work so much together.

I don't see how Zion shot is wonky or anything. just a little slow to develop.

Giannis competing for mvp despite not being a good shooter too. let's keep that in mind, just in case Zion never become a great shot
