    That is a good move for the Bucks. Giannis is such a poor outside shooter I assume his talents are being wasted when the ball is not in his hands. Not saying he will be an effective PG, but it can't hurt to try. All wings need to be able to shoot from deep! Ben Simmons may have the same issues until he improves his outside shot.

    Hmm will be interesting. I've heard about them doing that this year, have been meaning to watch some Bucks games. I would think he may have trouble with defense that pressures him full court so they'll need someone at SG/SF who can help him dribble the ball up. But once they get in half court it should be fine.

    It could actually cause a lot of trouble for us if they had Giannis defending Dame and another big SG wing defending CJ. Houston shut us down in the second half with that type of scheme.

    Roy effectively played PG for us he just didn't have the defensive ability Giannis has to defend quick PG's.

    It also worked well the last year Pippen was here when we finally benched Damon. I wonder if Damon had been injured in 2000 and we didn't play that terrible bitch we might've won a few titles.

    They tried this in summer league and preseason and it didn't work. 3rd times a charm? I love this kid's game by the way,reminds me of Nic.

    It will be an interesting experiment. BTW is the any better YouTube clip binge than Giannis? The kid has springs for legs.
