     Just watching the highlights of the bucks beating the Knicks tonight and although he looks thin Giannis looks massive on the court. Reminds me of Durant in that even tho he is skinny he is just longer and taller than everyone else that can play the wing and move like he does. He is great and I think he will be a star but my real question is does anyone have a camp measurement from this dude or something recent. Bc he is def taller than the 6’9 listing he takes. I’m thinking he is doing the Durant under listing and is really around 6’11

    what you guys think?

     He was 6’9" when he was drafted, but he’s around 6’10.75" now I believe and he’s expected to top out around 7 feet when he’s done growing, and he has a 7’3" wingspan I believe.

       And I suspect that is his height in socks, not shoes.  He looks taller than both John Henson and Larry Sanders.

      Giannis has been struggling a bit lately, but the Bucks decision to send him back to the bench seems to be working.  He has played well off the bench this season, where his energy can be a boost to the team.  Bucks are extremely fortunate to have him and I can’t wait to watch him continue to improve in the NBA.  He has superstar potential.

       Yeah, the bucks announced that he’s grown to over 6’10". His growth plates are still open, but that doesn’t mean he’s going to grow that much more. He might get to 7’0", but it’s not a given.

    He could be a revolutionary player on the defensive side of the ball. With his combination of length, athleticism, raw ability and fluidity he could be the guy to lock up even the best of scorers in a few years. This year statistically he’s been one of the best defenders in the NBA when it comes to contesting shots at the rim and he’s only 19.

    Man, he was sensational down the stretch last night.  And it was awesome to see how excited his family was to finally get a chance to watch him in person in the US.  Really special night for a team that’s having a horrific season.

    Rememer he used to play PG in Greece! He’ll have a fantastic 2nd year if the Bucks draft wisely. I see him easily putting 12-7-5 in starting minutes (at whatever position… I don’t care).
