theis high scorer germany v france

[rollie mass]

germany wins 84-81 thies score 22 points 8 for 9 and 7 rebounds-

Yeah, I support France and he killed us. Basically kept digging into our lead for 3 quarters, made HUGE shots down the stretch and was relentless. We lost but I can take solace in his very promising talent - although FIBA success doesn't necessarily translate to the NBA. Schroder was unstoppable and yet he is not that good in playoff games.

Theis looks like a high motor  garbageman. I think he'll get some run with his defense...

[Ogaju]

Brad has already rubbed of on him lol

[rollie mass]

It must be a state secret his wingspan
He could be like a jerebko
Hard to get excited these days with trim tweeners.
I watched him score on Diaw but it looked like he got the worst of it
Maybe we are going to need some cheap contracts
My dark horse is semi -he went trained at hoop house with tatum -watch the video
These are dedicated rookies-semi,tatum,yabusele
theis has defense and can shoot but the competition is severe this year no more james youngs and rj hunters

Impressive, I also watched Germany vs iseral, I think he got 15/15/3blk, very active on the board, I think he can be a good backup small ball centre

does't Yabu represent France as well? I guess he didn't play right? It would've been nice seeing Yabu vs Theis

[Smartacus]

Theis might walk onto our team more NBA ready than some of the young blood. He seems to have good toughness and concentration. Probably not going to be pulling boards off the rim ten feet out of his zone but it seems like he's got solid positioning. Could be a solid option to both stick next to Horford and back him up.

Solid signing and should be really valuable come the stretch around game 50.

Who does he compare to right now in the NBA?

[PAOBoston]

This guy may surprise. He might be the most athletic big on the roster and can stretch the floor. Not your traditional big man by any means but seems to have some qualities that may play out in Stevens system.

From what I've read, he's a very good defender. He also helps cover the loss of Olynyk/big man who can shoot because outside of Horford, the Cs don't have anyone else who can do that.

[ETNCeltics]

Nice. Theis with 2 3s and a mid-range jumper in the final few minutes to really put the game away.

He's not the biggest guy, but he's athletic and good leaper. He's got some skill. Far quicker and more athletic than any big man we trotted out there last year.

I like Theis. IMO he is better placed to earn minutes in our rotation than Yabusele or Ojeleye.

Having said this, don't put too much stock in Eurobasket stats, the Euroleague is more reliable.
