Yeah! right, but for me, I'm ok with him if he cannot shoot 3 pointers as most NBA stars do, because like the saying "No Man is an ISland" he also need to have a superstar teammate like the other team does. By the way, I'm enjoying every game of Giannis because of his dominant under the rim. I hope we can see more of it this next season.

Giannis is improving season by season and with athleticism, height and mentality for sure he will still dominate under the rim. Team chemistry is really a must for getting rings, nothing did just being selfish on all plays. Even the great MJ and Kobe needs some to call them a legend. If Giannis will find the best and suited teammates on the court for sure they will be on the zone, you know what Giannis is capable of and plus a better teammate/s for sure it's unstoppable.

Right, and it's up for the team management to bring someone that can be a reliable force that could help Giannis. Without another superstar even Giannis cannot bring the championship to the Bucks.

Oh that will be very advantageous for Giannis to learn from one of the best shooters we have in the NBA. And we all know that Giannis weak point is his shooting although we have seen him taken 3's last season. But he needs more improvement, follow thru and what a way to learn from Kyle Korver himself.

Giannis needs to have a decent outside shooting percentage. It does not necessarily need to be 3 points. He just needs to make the defense spread out so that he has a better chance to penetrate.

Yeah, I mean outside shooting and not necessarily 3's. But during their games against Toronto, he was trying his 3's that's why it stuck on my mind. He also needs to improved his FT shooting as well, if I'm not mistaken his percentage is around 70%-80%. So that area is also critical specially if it mean making the FT in order to win those close games.

It would certainly take time for him to improve and to become a complete player, what the team needs right now is someone who can play as high as his level so they will not be easy to be predicted as a team. All their opponent has to do is to stop or if not, limit Giannis, and the team can't win.

That is the keyword, make him a complete player, Giannis strength is on open court so if there's no fastbreak then it will be difficult for him to score unless he has the shooting touch. So let us see if he can improved, not expecting a big improvement but at least he has the confidence to shoot, unlike last season wherein sometimes he is hesitant to take the shot even if he is wide open.

The pressure is difference in the playoffs compared to the regular season, and because he has limited to offer to the team, he was scouted well and the team were not able to adjust. We shall see next season, with the current line up of the East, I think they have a chance of winning since Leonard was already out in the Raptors.

I would not expect too much though. Maybe he can raise his percentage for 10 to 15 percent, that's it. He is not a natural shooter so there are limitations to his improvement no matter how hard he trained. I am yet to see anyone in nba who is not a natural shooter who drastically improved his 3 points shooting.

That's the reason why Toronto Raptors able to pin him down during their playoffs match. His moved are predictable so the only thing that Raptors need to do is to think on how to stop that predictable moved since no doubt, Giannis is like a big wave pushing forward to the ring at all strength so a good defense is needed to slow that wave. Boston Celtics also know that but unfortunately, no one from them can stop that big wave.

I do agree with this.
As an NBA player that should not happen. He might have scored some but those are forced shots which should not happen. A good play must come into fruitful always and not just forcing it into the paint for most of the times.

Quote from: harizen on July 24, 2019, 03:39:13 PM

Damn, what if Giannis able to succeed working on that decent shooting percentage? With that height, with that leap, with that strong body, with that long-span, with that athleticism - he is a hell a complete all-around player.

In short, a monster.
He aint like Lebron or even Kawhi for now but he is still young. There is so much room for improvement for the guy.
When he gains more experience we will see a great game coming ahead and maybe some records being broken again.

He will just need to be careful too with those penetrations and jumping without even thinking. Injuries are just nearby. Grin

Right. 10% to 15% increase is already a big improvement for that man who isn't used to play on that kind of game style. As long as there's an improvement, that's a big help already for the Bucks offense.

If everyone here also noticed, some of his attempted perimeter jump shots are not being defended most of the time meaning other teams still doesn't take Giannis jump shot ability as a threat. So it's really a good idea to just keep working on his jump shots and include it to his usual practice routine.

He can shoot 3 actually but not in a consistent manner, however, he can practice his jump shots in shorter range and I think that is doable and that could be a big improvement of his, not only he is a threat inside but also from outside.

I've been pointing that in the past too that Giannis needs to work on his outside and perimeter shooting. Honestly, he is working on it year by year. It's just that it's not his usual comfort zone but surely adjustments are being made. He is now seen taking more 3-points attempt than his usual.

Then we are talking about a muscled-out version of Kevin Durant here, with that kind of player he would definitely infiltrate and scramble out any good defense with the offensive prowess he would make. But if we are talking about spreading the defense I don't think the Bucks could always rely on Giannis on spreading the defense especially if the team wants him to be the main scoring option that is why they need to have shooters behind him, maybe that is the purpose on why they have brought Kyle Korver into the team.

Guys do not forget that right now Becky Hammon is next in line, that is the real head coach replacement SAS has right now and when Pop retires which I do not see happening for at least couple more seasons than Becky will probably be the next head coach unless she gets head coach offer from some other team before.

Tim Duncan is probably there to help Pop out not to become a Head Coach, I honestly do not even think he would continue this after Pop retires, however you can still be a coach without talking too much, you have to talk to refs when there is a questionable call, you can just tell the players what to do and you can just get them out of the game if they fail to execute what you said. Angry coaches could be very good (pop is quite angry himself) but calm ones could teach very well too.

Giannis needs to have a decent outside shooting percentage. It does not necessarily need to be 3 points. He just needs to make the defense spread out so that he has a better chance to penetrate.

And the passing also.
He needs to dish that ball in a better way and not just throwing it anywhere without some accuracy.

Let us make Jokic as an example. He is a big man. He can put the ball way up for the smaller guy to not reach it. Of course the defender wont jump just to reach it or it will be a risk to free up Jokic to penetrate the paint.
Giannis needs his sight to be widen. Use that long arms and stretch it like no one can really reach the ball while finding the right guy in three or a cutting one.
It could also be a good fake to make a good move inside.
He doesnt really need to be so much better in shooting. Just good plays with right patience.

More like a Duncan style which is just upgraded because of his speed.
It will be an easy triple double for every game or better, quadruple double.

The Bucks have a new addition in Kyle Korver. It's not a bad move because they really needed outside shooters and he is also a veteran which can help the younger players.

I just saw a video with him and Giannis practicing together. It looks like he is teaching that beast to improve his shooting stroke.

Well that is good. An active and proven shooter finally teaching him some proper strokes. If Giannis can be efficient with his outside shooting, it is more likely that they will reach the Finals this time.

I'm with you if he can do what Rey Allen does, because of that last 3 points he made on game 6 final round with spurs the game extended to overtime most of us know that was a heroic move from him. If Korver can do that too then there will be a chance for bucks to win their 2nd Championship after the long-time period.

Ray Allen is the greatest three pointer for me. Cavaliers as well as Celtics would not win without Ray Allen before. Korver is also a veteran player, he can make three points and sometimes getting burned with the game. But he cannot make what Ray Allen did in NBA. Anyway, Bucks is hard team last 2018 NBA season and if they adapted Korver, it will be a great game for those team who traded their players from a superstar.

Arguing about who's the best three point shooter and you do not include Reggie Miller with that conversation? For me all time great when it comes to three point shooting was Miller as far as I have seen.

Can't wait for the next season I wonder what Zion Williams got in his pocket when he finally faces the living legends like Lebron, Curry, and some other NBA stars out there.

And also Tacko can he still dominate the board if he faces the monster of the rim like Giannis and all of the best dunkers out there? Well, let's see both guys have enough room for further improvement. I wonder who gonna become a champion this season.

Some talented rookies we have right now, I expect too with Ja Morant to make his name within this season. For Zion, I guess there will be adjustment he will take on as NBA is a different league on college basketball, for sure it will be tough.

Tacko will be a monster on board and facing a height like that is not a joke unless someone with a Mamba mentality. For the championship, I gonna bet with the Clippers and to be honest I am really a PG fan and wherever he landed I'm with it.
