I've become a big fan of Giannis Anteokoumpo (or however you spell it) and I was taking a quick look at that roster and I think they can do some damage in the East. They got a nice promising group of players with an improving coach (Jason Kidd) C Monroe / Pachulia PF Jabari/ Plumlee SF Giannis/ OJ Mayo SG Middleton/Jerryd Bayless PG Michael Carter Willians/ Greivis Vasquez But yea Greek Freak and Jabari are a pretty nice tandem upfront. It seems like this team can bring a highlight reel every night but can they win the East? thoughts?
I really like their starting lineup. Their length have the Bulls a hard time last year. They can easily be a top team in the East if all their young players improve and Parker is back healthy. Several vets on the bench as well.
They're going to be good for a long while, if they can keep the core intact. Their length and versatility is unique. They'll never be better than Cleveland and won't be better than Miami for at least a couple years. Hawks will continue to be the mini Spurs as long as Bud is calling the shots. Then there's Chicago...who knows with them, it's a matter of health. And who knows what will happen in the east when the cap spikes -- Durant to DC, someone...anyone to NY.
I feel like they still need a veteran vocal leader, even if it's a backup. That's not as significant as it is with most teams because Kidd is the coach, but as coach he doesn't have the time to be that guy too.
I feel like Caron Butler here can do a lot of good for that team. Also if Monroe was a little better at playing defense he can make their defense a lot more dangerous.
i've always had a soft spot for the bucks definitely my eastern conference team. nice to see they're on their way to potentially becoming an EC powerhouse for a while to come. giannis, parker, middleton, and now monroe. wow that is one stacked and young team. excited to see what they'll do
yes but he's been just disappointing since he came into the league way too raw and he's regressed more than anything. the potential is there though
The real x factor will be mwc... He is in perfect position for taking another step... He is tall versatile pg with shaky shot...it reminds me of someone lil bit... So if kidd cant make him to elevate his game to another level,noone ever will...
