I remember the day of 9/11 (which makes me a millennial) and I also know that Seinfeld is an old person show. @Handlogten's Heros is an old fraud.

Let me educate you sir. I am not an old fraud... because I do not pretend to be young. To be a fraud you have to pretend to be something you are not. In fact I might be the oldest *** 41 yo you've ever met. I am simply stating the fact that I am not pretending to be young and my classification as a Millennial is in fact correct. When I say Seinfeld is a millennial show that is up for debate but what I was trying to do with this reference was point to the fact that the reference I was making might not be relevant to @Elizah Huge as he is a Gen Z and there is a generation gap there. I was not running from the fact that Seinfeld may be a dated reference, in fact I pointed it out. If Seinfeld is for the olds... well then I guess Millennials are the olds now. If that offends the younger millennials then I am sorry.

I may be old but I am not a fraud.

If he's 27 he's an old Gen Z. I would probably consider EH to have more millennial energy than HH. HH is clearly Gen X energy.

For good or bad I am millennial... but I won't argue that I have more in common with Gen X. I am a John Collins tweener when it comes to where I fit on the spectrum. I was more offended you think I'm trying to be younger than I am... Thats not what I was trying to do at all.

Their statistical profiles are similar. Giddy is smarter more under control… THT is a better defender. If players are ineffective or less effective than their pedigree I don’t care too much how they get to the same place. They end up in the same place.

I think Giddey's overall progression has been steady and solid. He has upped his efficiency each year and is improving as a shooter. When given more of an opportunity to have the offense run through him at the end of the year I thought he played great. Unfortunately for him he is on the wrong team to take that next step because SGA and Jalen are better players with the ball in their hands and that isn't a knock on Giddey. They are just great players. If Giddey were on the jazz next year I think 18pts, 9asts and 7rbs would be a reasonable expectation.

I don't hate him but I just think its hard to build around him as a player with his flaws. It wouldn't be my first choice of building blocks. The decision on how much to pay him is also right around the corner. I'd have to look at the tracking but I also think he gets left wide open so his percentages should improve given the difficulty of the attempts.

There is no doubt he could do more and is very young. I think the off court stuff got in his head this year too. I just couldn't get the THT statistical comparison out of my head... I believe it was @KqWIN that invented it. A smart THT would be a good player but Giddey doesn't have the defense or defensive potential of THT imo. I've just not been blown away when watching the guy.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.... I am not Uncle Collin. That guy is 60 lol. I remember him mocking Steph and Klay before they started winning.

Also, appreciate your damn elder millennials... we invented wearing a hat backwards.
