Daniel Theis 23 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (4/26/2021)

Daniel Theis just had a better game than Lauri Markkanen has had in the entire month of April. His 23 points and 5 assists is clearly better than Markkanen's, uh, 18 points in 18 minutes back on April 8. Does that seem really wrong to anybody else? It's like we're living in some bizarro world where Theis is the one starting games and putting up big numbers, while Markkanen begs for scraps off the bench. Don't get me wrong, Theis is good, but his game doesn't scream "offensive centerpiece". Meanwhile, Markkanen was definitely supposed to be the offensive centerpiece, even though those plans were put on hold when the Bulls traded for Vucevic.
The Bulls now have a trio of foreign big men representing Germany, Finland, and Montenegro (you could actually make it a foursome by including Cristiano "Crappy Brazilian Shaq" Felicio, but he barely plays). I don't know if there's any strife between them, but if there is any strife, and if that strife manifests itself into locker room brawls, those brawls are probably the most entertaining thing ever. I'm imagining lots of swear words and insults being thrown around in various languages, plus big meaty punches being delivered directly to people's faces. Markkanen looks a bit skinny, but ever since he had that off-season where he roided hard and added like thirty pounds of muscle, I bet he could hold his own against the naturally beefier Theis and Vucevic.
On second thought, Theis is in a contract year, so it would probably be better for him to be a friendly and reliable teammate who participates in no locker room brawls even if everybody else is throwing furniture at each other and screaming. He needs to protect his reputation and stay in coach's good graces so that he can continue to have monster statistical games and get the bag. Maybe he should ask Cristiano Felicio for tips on how to get the bag.

Great pickup for the Bulls. He might get dunked on alot but he is still very solid.

I actually don’t think theis gets dunked on that much, I’m a Celtics fan and I really liked Daniel Theis as a player for the 4 seasons he played in Boston, he was a very reliable guy who did just about everything for Brad Stevens, extremely versatile as well 6’9 240 he could play the 4 or the 5, solid versatile defender who protected the rim and could also guard the perimeter. And on offense the guy can score 10-15 points and grab 8-10 rebounds and you don’t even need to run a play for him he gets it within the flow of the game.

@@zoomzoom3839 why did the celtics trade him? I always thought he was very solid for them, was surprised they traded him

@@a_child they lost a lot when they lose Theis.

@@a_child maybe a salary thing? Bulls need to lock him up though.

@@a_child I think it was partly because of the luxury tax and partly because they wanted to give Robert Williams (The Timelord) more playing time.
