Lost in all the excitement of Luka-mania, the Mavericks made another not-so-small blip on the NBA relevancy radar as they drafted Kostas Antetokounmpo with the last pick in the draft.
I know. That last name intrigues you. Well let’s get this out of the way first: he isn’t going to be Giannis. In fact, with counting stats of 5.2 ppg and 2.9 rpg on a mid-major with a 14-17 record, there’s a pretty big possibility he isn’t even going to be Thanasis, the eldest Antetokounmpo brother who spent a few years in the G-League before heading overseas. However, as is the case with all three brothers, the raw physical tools (six-foot-ten with a seven-foot-two wingspan) are so visually appetizing from a potential perspective that an NBA team had to see if they were palatable.
