I think Giannis is going to have to move over to the 5 at some point in his career. People don’t realize how important Brook Lopez is to giannis and how irreplaceable he is. A top 5 rim protector who can also consistently hit the 3? Good luck finding another one of those.
I was at Celtics-Bucks on Wednesday and it was legitimately stunning that Brook Lopez was the best player for Milwaukee during that game. If basketball had a "Hall of Pretty Good", he'd be inducted on the first ballot.
He’s the Nets all-time leading scorer and should have been DPOY last year. If he puts up a couple more DPOY seasons, he’ll have at least a minor argument for Hall of Fame
He won’t have an argument for HoF lol. He’s a phenomenal role player but someone who’s never made All-NBA should not be in the HoF.
Who from this list of 17 guys in the HoF without all-nba honors would you remove? (cut off being 1988 because that's when they went to three teams, there are more if you life that restriction)

The query only considers 1988 and on... At a quick glance almost all of those players have made all-nba before 1988, and the top guys are Euros where their international achievements come into play unlike Brook.
