My Take
Daniel Theis is the kind of pro I have real respect for: a German big man who grinded through the Bundesliga, racking up titles and All-Star nods before earning his shot in the NBA. I remember him as a useful, switchable big during his Boston Celtics years, the sort of player coaches trust even if casual fans overlook him. From Salzgitter to the Celtics, Bulls, and on to EuroLeague basketball with Monaco, he's carved out a long, well-traveled career through sheer reliability. At 204cm he's no novelty; he's a craftsman, and I think his journey says a lot about German basketball's quiet rise.
Overview
Daniel Theis (; born 4 April 1992) is a German professional basketball player for AS Monaco of the French LNB Pro A and the EuroLeague. After seven seasons in the Basketball Bundesliga where he was a four-time All Star and three-time champion, Theis signed with the Boston Celtics of the NBA where he played for four seasons before a trade brought him to the Chicago Bulls in March 2021.
