Wow. Giannis goes out and suddenly Middleton and the Bucks look pretty good.

But crazy how Butler seemed to be a non-factor in the 4th and OT. Looks like Bucks will live for another few days

I said this the other day too but The Bucks offense runs better through Middleton then through The Greek Freak.
Giannis should be played as more of a big than a power-wing in my opinion. He has all the tools to just feast down there

Agreed -- I'd love to see Giannis play center full time. More guys who can handle the ball with Giannis facilitating from the high post & playing off of them.

100%

Not sure if guys like Bledsoe are the ones to surround him with. Ironically I think he'd be great here alongside Tatum/Brown, Kemba and maybe Hayward.

I wish Celtics drafted Herro
I'm fine with missing out on Herro. His T-Rex arms help him excel at shooting, but make him a below average defender.

height w/o shoes: 6' 4.5''
height w/ shoes: 6' 6''
wingspan: 6' 3.25''

"Desmond Bane (6-5, 22, TCU)
I have already done some work on Bane, who I believe will be one of the best role players to emerge from this class. As a senior, Bane shot 44.2% from the outside, and he did so on 6.5 attempts per game. Those numbers helped Bane reach the 96th percentile in half-court opportunities. Bane also did all of that while being the top option for TCU, and a guy that spent a rather significant amount of time on the ball. With somebody else creating for him, and teams likely to have to focus on stopping better offensive weapons, there’s a decent chance Bane feasts on open looks in the pros.

On top of his ability to space the floor, Bane is also a decent creator off the dribble. And he’s also a remarkable team defender, which is why I believe he’ll be one of the best values of this draft."

Giannis could easily be back by next series. Heck, he could be back next game for the Bucks.

This Lakers game is showing us how important vets off the bench are in the playoffs. Rondo and Morris are the difference so far tonight.

The only real VET on the Celtics is Kemba.
