Giffey's pro future

[breezy]

Family in germany, assured of meaningful minutes and longevity in germany...or the possibility of more money with the caveat of the revolving NBA door. His situation isn't that unlike KO's(To the rest of the country who doesn't understand that KO isn't considering the NBA).

He has already stated that he hopes to give the summer league, d league thing a shot, and possibly earn his way onto a roster. Germany will always be there for him.

Has he?

I'm interested. He's capable of being a good defender at the pro level. And he's a lights out shooter. Like someone said, in the right system, he could be a role player.

I don't like the idea of not being able to see Niels play anymore..

Giffey said he wants to get a chance in summer league/training camp. I'll root for him. No need to put a cap on his potential like many posters on this thread. He was the second most efficient shooter in the country and guarded a lotto pick pf in the title game, FYI.

Giffey is kind of a tweener; not quick enough to play the 3 and not strong enough to play the 4. He will have a nice career in Europe but the NBA is probably unrealistic. Then again I thought the same about Adrian so who knows.

You could say the same about Kyle Korver and look how long he's been around. Hell, you could say the same about McDermott and he's a projected top 10 pick.

Giff might have the highest BBIQ I've ever personally seen. As he's shown at UConn, I think he could adapt and fill whatever role necessary to get a spot on somebody's bench if that's what he wants to do. Teams could do worse than an 8th-9th man with his shooting, toughness, IQ
