Review Of The Movie 'Greek Freak'
Superstars don’t last forever. The dominant forces in the NBA aren’t far off from showing their first signs of deterioration. LeBron James is 31 years old, while Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry are 27 and 28 years old, respectively. As amazing as NBA superstars are, they don’t age like wine. Within the next five or so years, the next generation of superstars will be ready to take the stage and accept the proverbial passed torch.
Of the teams in the NBA, the franchises that look the deadliest, in terms of potential, are the Milwaukee Bucks and Minnesota Timberwolves, assuming they don’t trade away their biggest assets. You may be thinking: seriously? The Bucks and T’Wolves? Yes.
Sure, Milwaukee and Minnesota aren’t the biggest markets, but …show more content…
Antetokounmpo is insanely versatile at 6-foot-11, seemingly able to play all five spots on the court. At just 21 years old, he also has impeccable court vision and is a monster in the post. If the “Greek Freak” continues to improve his jump shot, he has the potential to become a superstar.
Leading Milwaukee at 18.2 points per game last season, Middleton has shown the ability to score, whether driving to the basket or shooting from the perimeter. Meanwhile, Parker dunked 129 times last season and 130 times the season before, his first two full seasons in the league.
Maker adds even more intrigue for the Bucks. Despite fouling out of a Summer League game, which just shows he needs to work on body control, the your-guess-is-as-good-as-mine-year-old has shown potential this summer. With double-digit point totals in every Bucks Summer League contest, Maker has shown an ability to score, shoot and create space, while also averaging nearly 10 rebounds per game. Of course, Summer League numbers need to be taken with a grain of salt. But what Maker has undeniably shown is his potential, which will add to the ceiling of the young Bucks. It also doesn’t hurt that he set records for men 6-foot-11 and taller in the standing and max vertical at the NBA combine in …show more content…
The perimeter duo of Zach LaVine and Andrew Wiggins has put on a few spectacular scoring displays in their young careers. Considering both players are just 21 years old, each has shown amazing potential, with Wiggins averaging 20.7 ppg last season and LaVine scoring 14 ppg this past season.
In addition to the dynamic duo, Minnesota has unbelievable breakout star and unanimous 2015-16 Rookie of the Year, Karl-Anthony Towns. As a rookie last season, Towns averaged a double-double, totaling 18.3 ppg and 10.5 rebounds per game. The rook also posted decent defensive numbers, averaging 1.7 blocks per game. The Timberwolves seem to already have a big three, who are all under 22 years old. After a few more years in the league, the young Timberwolves trio seem almost destined for greatness.
The last few years, Minnesota’s weak spot seems to have been at the point guard position. Ricky Rubio can function as a traditional point guard, but without a developed jumper, he hurts the team
