      Imo he is a student of the game, he will use many of the greats signature moves, not talking about Kareem's hook specifically even though it's a possibility but he will definitely have a fadeway, catch and block, euro-step, chase down block, no look pass. I can definitely seem him do things off the back board.

  • @geordiejones5618
    @geordiejones5618 20 годин тому

    If he really gets to the point of DPOY, high skill 3 level scorer, and elite playmaker, it's gonna be really hard not to put him at least in the top 5 all time. Walton could have been that player with better health. Both Luka and Jokic are limited by their defensive ceilings, Embiid and Giannis are limited by playmaking ceilings, and everyone else isn't young enough to have nearly as much potential, other than I guess if Tatum elevates to MVP level and is considered the core of a bonafide new Celtics dynasty.
