On the most recent episode of The Bill Simmons Podcast, former Bucks coach Doc Rivers shared insight into the challenges he experienced coaching Giannis, saying it’s “not easy.”
“He plays at this crazy downhill pace,” Rivers said. “He has this great passing ability, but he doesn’t necessarily have super IQ at the same time. It’s really a strange thing.
“He really has one way—downhill. Force, force, force. Every play, he wants to force it. I wish he learned how to execute better. He’s one of those guys who has never needed to execute, because they can do it on their own.
