I was so happy (I'm already rooting for the Bulls to lose every game).

It seems Jimmy Pushups is already in trouble, though I doubt Garpax will fire him:

Sources say Boylen remains unpopular in the Chicago locker room, which isn’t surprising given that his tenure began with a near-mutiny over his grueling practices and formation of the much-derided “Leadership Committee.”

So if you were starting an NBA franchise today you taking Luka or Giannis? Or somebody else, maybe AD?

Luka, easily. He can impact the game in all the most important areas. Giannis will never be able to shoot enough and Large Idiot is just a big, which would be fine if it was 1985, but it's not.

I would take Giannis for his defensive impact, but it is close. They both have the "it" factor you are looking for in building a team. Plus, they don't the AAU miles of domestic players.

Are we really judging players based on game winning shots?

Can he get his own shot in crunch time? I have my doubts. He'll just run in the lane and try and dunk. That will work sometimes I guess

They're both generational talents. I don't think there's a wrong answer. Luka is obviously more complete offensively but Giannis is and will continue to be much better defensively.

I think Giannis is probably the safer pick but man Luka's offensive game is just so pure.

I think I'd slightly lean towards Giannis for his two-way dominance.

Another crushing Bulls loss! I've honestly lost track of how many times Zach has botched the final shot of the game this season.

It's okay, last night was a chance for our other rookie to ball out. And Jimmy Buckets with that shot to force OT.
