Popular Post CrazyEye Posted May 30, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 (edited) During his visit in germany Bud was visiting a PO match with Dennis where he was looking for players of both team, later Dennis said to german Media that they are looking for Theis and Kleber (maybe more?). http://www.spox.com/de/sport/ussport/nba/1705/News/dennis-Schröder-atlanta-hawks-daniel-theis-holen.html Daniel Theis: http://www.easycredit-bbl.de/de/statistiken/spieler/portraits/p/11634-daniel-theis/ Theis get elected defensiv player of the year in the BBL recently after finishing second in the year before. In germany he plays the 4 and 5 i think in the nba he would be on the four primary since he isn't that tall. He has good footwork and speed, and scores primary with his face to his basket with a good mid range shot and willingness to dunk. Here an old Highllight tape from him: Probadly you noticed the player with the seventeen on his team, Theis is a good Buddy from Dennis who played togehther in the youth squads, and makes there first steps as pros together. He was often the pick and roll partner and recipent of alley hoops from Dennis, so you saw quite a lot from him when you followed the discussions when Dennis was drafted. Dennis said he will fight to get him over, and oi would say he is worth a shot he won't be outstanding but would be a good and cheap option for the end of the bench. Bud mentions that he liked what he saw from him. New Highlights: Kleber: http://www.easycredit-bbl.de/de/statistiken/spieler/portraits/p/14374-maximilian-kleber/ Was a big talent in germany who had a lot of bad luck with injurys, he has a real smooth game with a lot of different moves which i like to watch (also a good footwork). He has more Range then Theis but he is missing that smashing mentality and physicality from Theis. He would be a nba caliber player if he was healthy in the past maybe a good one, but i doubt he will reach the potential he had. Some rather old footage of him: Now you know that i have to much time, but maybe you know a little bit more about possibly future backups and two of the plenty player the hawks are watching. If this isn't the right forum please move it ;) Off season is long, even before it really started :( Edited May 30, 2017 by CrazyEye 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CP61 Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 Good post, it's always nice to see where the decision makers are looking. I hope to see who we are working out for the draft soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 These wouldn't be draft options would they? At this point neither one of them to me look like they're NBA draft caliber players. Theis kind of looks like a mix between a shorter and less skilled David Lee and Matt Barnes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ISOJOE Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 I would rather pay Theis 8mio/2 than Muscala 18/3. Theis was the best defensive player in the German league and he certainly has some skills offensively (can hit open Js, solid passing, good cutter+offensive rebounder). As a 3rd or 4th Big ... Why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely you are right, but i am curious how Theis would do in the NBA and i could imagine that he will use this chance. (but thats something u can say about pther sl players to, who don't get tested in the NBA) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theis is the better rebounder, rimprotecter and he was the best picknroll defender in the Euroleague... so Moose is bigger but it doesn't matter.

Thomas Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 Moose had decent numbers in Europe in the 2013-14 season as well. Believe it or not he could even rebound (eight boards per) so its not so easy to measure between leagues. Will watch for these guys in SL if they are over here though. http://www.basketball-reference.com/euro/players/mike-muscala-1.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
