He may have a famous last name, but Kostas Antetokounmpo is his own man and brings his own skill set to the Lakers, who signed him to a two-way contract on Monday.
The younger brother of reigning NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, Kostas joins the Lakers after playing one season for the Texas Legends — the G League affiliate of the Dallas Mavericks.
Antetokounmpo was productive on both ends as a rookie, averaging 10.6 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.4 blocks, while shooting 52.5 percent from the field. He also made two appearances with the Mavs.
A 6-foot-10, 200-pound big man, Kostas may have a thin frame, but he’s at his best when showing off his traditional big man skills.
