“It’s super crazy to see, especially while he’s just so young. He switches out one through five any time, protects the rim really well, slides his feet, contests all the shots — it’s really tough just pointing out one thing. I think he’s an All-Defensive Team player.”

Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee Bucks:
"It's a matter of time before he has a breakout season and becomes one of the best power forwards in the league," Antetokounmpo said. "The skill set and the body, the body is there. But it's up to him if he's going to work hard and fight through adversity to insert himself among the best in the league."

Dallas Mavericks Head Coach Jason Kidd:
He can do it all. He can play inside-out, he helps. I had the opportunity to coach one of the greatest players to play this game and he’s still playing at a high level in Giannis. [Evan] can block shots, he can score the ball. It seems like he’s just a team guy. He’s about his teammates which is cool. That’s just from afar. I don’t know him very well but that’s just the vibe I get. But that’s who I would put him with in that category is Giannis.

JOEL EMBIID, Philadelphia 76ers
“He’s got a chance. I like him a lot. I think he has a lot of potential. I think he can become one of these great big men in the league that have so much skill. You talk about, who are the best? (Nikola) Jokic. Karl Towns. I think he can be that good. He just needs to have more opportunities. That’s what I see in them. It’s all about opportunity. If he gets a chance to keep making mistakes and learning from it and keep getting better, I think he can get to that level. But he’s already really good.”

KEVIN DURANT, BROOKLYN NETS
“A lot of guys coming into the league who can do pretty much all things on a court, and he’s one of those guys that can dribble, that can guard, block shots, shoot 3s, finish over the rim. So, he showcased that this summer. Seeing his work ethic up close is something I wanted to see as a fan of the game because you can see the potential if you see a guy work. And he puts in a lot amount of work, and he cares about the game. So it’s a bright future for him here in Cleveland.”

“He has incredible touch,” Pelicans coach Willie Green said. “That’s an area where he can catch the ball, 7 feet, and shoot over top of defenses. Once again, he’s another guy on their team that is a threat. He is a young guy. He plays with poise.”

“But what about the victory over the red-hot Clippers in January, or the multiple wins against the Bucks?...They outperformed expectations, especially while down two key starters for much of that time…The Cavs' 18-2 run heading into All-Star Weekend is the second hottest 20-game run in history into the break. The only team to do better was the 1964-65 Celtics (19-1), who went on to win the NBA title that season… You simply can't win at such a level for a quarter of the NBA season and fake it.”

COACH OF THE YEAR
Richard Jefferson, ESPN Analyst and Former NBA player
“They are definitely the Clippers of the East. They are a team that has played outstanding in the last two months, eyes are opening….If they continue playing at this rate, it’s going to be some issues in that Eastern Conference but I love what they did and how they addressed things…His team is outstanding. I love the way they play, they had a ton of injuries the first third of the season and I think there was a lot of criticism about what they can do. They figured it out when they got heathy…Extend J.B Bickerstaff and I don’t even know if he’s up for an extension but give that man a raise.”
Bob Myers NBA Analyst and Former GM
“The Cavs been quietly playing really good basketball. Cleveland just has to show what they’re capable of in the postseason.”
Chris Herring, ESPN Senior Writer
“Their defense, which remains elite, ranking among the NBA's best in rim protection, limiting clubs in transition and baiting teams into -- then absolutely stifling -- repeated one-on-one attempts.”
Steve Smith, NBA Analyst and former NBA player
“I think J.B. Bickerstaff has to get a lot of credit to be able to keep these guys going… you know through adversity. but they've been through so much i think this this team has a chance to pass the test because of all the adversity.”
Shaun Powell, NBA Analyst
“Injuries all season. You know with (Donovan) Mitchell out right now, (Evan) Mobley out and (Max) Strus not playing. But they found a way…Give J.B. Bickerstaff a lot of credit…This team i think is going to probably stay in that top four.”
