Looks like he's doing Point Guard College.

I'm feeling PhotoShopped. By way of comparison, Bruce Lee was 5'7" and Bill Shoemaker was 4'11".

Ya I know, he can't shoot either but he's got a crazy motor and takes pride in his defense. You're telling me we can't find a spot for this guy?

it would be nice for Giannis for sure.. but am not sure if we need more players that cant shoot the ball.. we already have many of those.. he is good defender and rebounder.. but thats it.. nothing else.. oh and he can dunk pretty well.. but am not sure if that count much..

Get him working with Suki and he can replace Plumlee.

ETA: This is a **** brilliant idea.

Not sure Thanasis could be worse on the court than our bench scrubs. This is a roster carrying Johnny O'Bryant for god's sake.

Scrappy, high motor athletic guys are perfect for the end of the bench if they can play.

The big reason not to do it beyond any sort of on court considerations is the multitude of potential problems with Giannis down the road if we have to cut or trade his family.

I mean they have about the same standing reach lol

Thanasis is not a center to replace Plumlee with him.. he play position 3 or 4.. and i really really like Plumlee.. he helped a lot the team and i hope he will be with us again..

by the way Kostas the younger brother of Giannis have huge potential too but he is 17 years old..

That's the kind of attitude that keeps you from discovering that Thanasis is a midget C.

Thanasis Antetokounmpo = potential Gerald Wilkings (a shorter Dominique kind of player)
He fits the athletic Bucks build !!! He is better than Inglis, O'Bryant and some ... He has the potential to be an Iguodala kind of player with personal defensive missions to compete, ... I mean he can guard SG/SF he can switch almost every pick ...
I would sign him the minimum for 2 years easily...
