we also sucked ass, and so does milwaukee.
I mean, his ability to shoot the ball is going to translate regardless of the situation. He plays nearly starter minutes and shoots 45%. That's not really fluky to me.

i never said it was fluky.

basically im calling you out for saying he has some serious potential but not knowing who he was on draft night :p

Hes 19

Go look at paul george's rookie numbers

Not comparing the two, but im saying lets give him time
His potential is super and from what ive read, he loves the game. He will have a future

I see him as somewhere between AK47 and paul george and at absolute worst, trevor ariza-corey brewer type

I LOVED the Arron pick when we got him. Didn't expect him to be this good now, but that trade still fucking pisses me off beyond belief. He was one of my favorite Pistons.

I would take all these performances that are going on in Milwaukee with a grain of salt.
 
 
 
Someone has to score for that team.
Don't think you can just throw all these guys who score for these bad teams in one bucket and say "look who they play for."

You have to have an individual opinion for every individual player. People like to say "so and so is averaging 18 pts a game omg" but they don't look at how they are getting those points. For example, lets take a look at the top scorers for some bad teams:

Jeff Green- 41.4%
Evan Turner- 42.8%
Michael Carter-Williams- 39.5%
Gordon Hayward- 40.3%
Brandon Knight- 42.2%
OJ Mayo- 40.2%
Nick Young- 42.1%

But then you have Middleton shooting 45.4% on the season. So there's a difference. Middleton is getting his points or having these performances because he's on a bad team so he's getting a ton of shots so he can help them score, he's getting his shots and being efficient with them. Unlike those guys above.

His potential isn't super though. I think that's exactly what me and Rob are saying.

And Paul George had a bigger impact on the game as a rookie, he wasn't "meh." I'm not sure why you brought up George at all, tbh lol. Should have brought up someone like Jamal Crawford.

i really think people seen his growth and made it bigger than it actually was. i don't see the super star potential.

Giannis is also at least a year younger than PG was in his rookie year. Gotta remember that.
