Milwaukee Bucks rumors: 'Limitless' possibilities for Giannis Antetokounmpo

Milwaukee Bucks’ swingman (and potentially point guard according to new Bucks’ head coach Jason Kidd) Giannis Antetokounmpo is one of the most intriguing players in the NBA. After an up-and-down rookie season, many are expecting Antetokounmpo to show great improvement in the 2014-2015 season.

Jesse Blancarte of Basketball Insiders believes the possibilities of Antetokounmpo are “limitless.”

"This type of length at the small forward position is a significant part of what makes Kevin Durant so dangerous. The Greek Freak has a long way to go to start being compared to Durant, but the tools are there……Newly hired Bucks head coach Jason Kidd has said that he will expand Antetokounmpo’s role this season, and experimented with him at point guard during the Las Vegas Summer League. Antetokounmpo made a strong showing in Vegas, but has a ways to go before he can realistically play point guard effectively during the NBA season. Still, the possibilities really are limitless for Antetokounmpo. With an expanded role, his upcoming season could be a breakout year for Antetokounmpo."

Although their record probably won’t show it this year, with Antetokounmpo, the number two overall pick of this year’s draft, forward Jabari Parker and possibly big man Larry Sanders, if he has his head on straight, the Bucks could have a fantastic core going forward.

Antetokounmpo averaged 6.8 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game while shooting 41.4% from the field, 34.7% from beyond the arc and 68.3% from the free throw line last season.
