Debate: Giannis Antetokounmpo/Jabari Parker or Towns/Wiggins

[HurricaneKid]

I'm kind of amazed this is a question. Giannis has taken the leap. He is a point center who is legitimately a top 10 rim protector in the league. Giannis is still impossibly young and gets better by the week and his shot has even come quite a ways in the last 60 days. He has the work ethic of a street kid and the combination of athleticism and length we have never seen before.

KAT/Wiggins? Not even in the adjacent ballpark.

Agreed. Giannis is on the Superstar trajectory. Pretty much has every tool in the book and if he doesn't have it yet, he's working on it. Can guard any position at a high level. I wouldn't be shocked if he's the unquestionable best play in basketball 3-4 years from now. He's already that good and has so much room to grow.

KAT is very good already, but he's not on the same level of Giannis at this point. He very well could get there, but Giannis looks like a once-in-a-generation type guy. I really think by the time Giannis is done playing, he's going to be mentioned in the same breathe of Jordan, Kobe, LeBron, etc. The ability and the work ethic are there.

So this debate took a depressing turn.

Gianni's in his prime will be better than LeBron. LeBron starter at a higher level but he never had the upside of Gianni's

Can't tell if this a serious post or not... I hope it's not.

I'm not serious really. He really has some very nice tools though and he has more room to improve than LeBron did since he started playing basketball later. His height advantage is insane as is his athleticism. Overall it would almost be impossible to have a better career than LeBron. He could have a couple of really fantastic years that rival LeBron if he icontinues on this trajectory.
