not bad

He looks like he'll be in the discussion as a top 10 player next season if he can keep up this insane development

Yeah that's a better if smaller sample. Been 10 games now since the blindingly obvious move of removing Monroe and MCW from the starting lineup happened and he's at around 18/11/6 in that time. Monroe still gums things up because he's still getting similar minutes but it's an improvement. Next season should be much better.

Very excited for this kid. He keeps working hard every year (he looked extremely awkward out there in his rookie year and doesn't look that at all anymore) and now seems to have the system around him to blossom. Actually does look kind of like Magic Johnson. Upside is enormous

Loved how assertive he was with Rubio on him. Kept going at him until they made changes. His confidence is sky-high at the moment and I hope it stays that way for a long time. It'll push his development.

19/11/7/2/2 since the break and the assists go to 9 (19/11/9/2/2) if we're talking since the Lakers game when he was 'officially' given the PG role.

Also, KAT went off in the 1st Q so we put Giannis on him and he did by far a better job than anyone else on our team... He literally played PG on offense and center on defense for a large part of the game. How insane is that?

I also love how after going 4-11 from the line against the Rockets, he comes back in the next two games and shoots 18-19 from the FT line. Just a small example of how he has the perfect mindset to succeed

He's truly a one-of-a-kind type of player and also very likeable. He's truly a walking mismatch and this gives his team the opportunity to leverage his presence. If only I trusted the Bucks' management more...

Except for KAT, Giannis is easily my favorite young prospect in the league. The guy has so many assets it's unbelievable. I hope Bucks do a good job with the core of Parker, Giannis and Middleton. That's a very strong group of guys.

Im seriously out of words praising Giannis and trying to promote him around the world.
Right now i feel like a proud father when he sees his son getting recognized by everyone.

The most important characteristic of a quality playmaker is his ability to improve those around him. Since joining Antetokounmpo in the starting lineup Miles Plumlee and previous starting lineup regular Jabari Parker have experienced a rise in their Open+ Frequency, Field Goal Percentage and Percentage of field goals that were assisted.

Wow those stats and how he improves everyone around him, its like with Giannis at point he creates spacing.

He continues to get better... 26/12/10 with 4 blocks and 3 steals against OKC today. He and Jabari pretty much carried us to a decently close game, wish the rest of the team didn't completely wet the bed, could've been a really interesting game.

It's interesting because he's right now doing exactly what scouts hope the projected #1 pick Ben Simmons can do in the NBA, but with even more length to be a disruptor on defense (plus, they're only about 1 and a half year apart in age). Ben Simmons has better body control and vision on offense but Giannis is slightly more athletic and his wingspan helps him finish at the rim much more easily.

Most triple doubles in a single season in Milwaukee history if the broadcast was right.
