Theis has been amazing today. Doing the little things (screens, good positioning) and the stat line is impressive, apart from the monster dunk.
I didn't think he would play minutes with us, but if he keeps this way...he may shut my mouth. I wish.
However, he's had a busy summer and now training camp is coming. I don't know if rookies are prepared for an NBA season without much rest.
Just watched the game. Man, Theis looks really nice. Absolutely stunning shooting motion, textbook.
Good defense too, looks like he could play some small ball 5. Perfect for Brad's system. Expect to see a lot of him from the get go...
I'm a Theis fan too and I expect him to get mins with the second unit. He should be able to help more than Ojeleye or Yabusele who have no experience and lack a defined playing profile.
I just avoid saying it much in the Forums bcs it gets interpreted as Theis will win 6MOTY.
He might be in the running if he explodes out of training camp - it's not completely stupid. Pretty unlikely though given how many minutes Tatum and Morris (and Semi) will undoubtedly get.
.598 from the floor in Euroleague? Sheesh.
Also, why did Bamberg only play him 19 mpg last year in the BBL?? His per36 numbers are solid, and his defense seemed pretty amazing?? What give?
Look forward to watching an illegal stream of the Eurobasket quarter.
