Originally posted by reamily View PostUS ball is fast paced, and a lot of training is based not on skills but on thephysical aspect, you need a good body to survive the 82 game season, Jasikevicious is too old to undergo physical training so really euro players need to come to the nba at age 20-22 as it was the right age for physical development, Manu survived the nba because not only Argentina plays fast paced euro ball but also preserved in Spurs team philosophy..
So why judge players based on their performance in the NBA if there are two styles of basketball?PAO EUROPEAN CHAMPION 1996 - 2000 - 2002 - 2007 - 2009 - 2011

Yes, he is not an NBA player, but he was in the D league for two seasons. Once both Giannis and Thansassis are out, the remaining players change their style, and ball circulation speed picks up.

Originally posted by reamily View PostExactly Greek have strong league and plays certain style, although Giannis brings the numbers, he disrupts team chemistry, its a matter on maximizing Giannis gifts especially defensively and when the team having difficult time executing in offense..But again his 21 still not mature enough on the advance aspects of team game (adjusting to the team styles etc)PAO EUROPEAN CHAMPION 1996 - 2000 - 2002 - 2007 - 2009 - 2011

It is not about Giannis being great in the NBA and bad in Europe because of a difference in style. His maturity issues are obvious anywhere.

Originally posted by Bad Boys 2882 View PostWhile Giannis has certainly shown a lot of physical ability in the NBA, he has obvious problems playing within the flow of the game in Milwaukee as well. He gets beaten constantly away from the ball, his outside shot still hasn't developed and he too often holds the ball when he doesn't have an obvious advantage.

Originally posted by Victorious View PostGreece adapted its game to Giannis. He will become more dominant as he matures, but then Greece will rely too much on the skills of individual players. In international tournaments, where there are a lot of KO games, this is a big risk. One bad day can knock you out of the tournament. One has to emphasize on defense and teamwork.

And he is not even that good according to you? Imagine what these other players are like.

MCW sucks, by the way. Giannis has talent without proper direction. MCW has neither direction nor talent.
When I see Giannis properly apply himself on defense or develop a consistent offensive go-to move, I'll admit he's taken the next step. I know he can put up triple doubles during games where his team is behind by twenty points.
