As the Milwaukee Bucks have tightened their rotation under head coach Mike Budenholzer, it looks as though the Thanasis Antetokounmpo experience has been put on pause.
Until getting some rare shine late in the fourth quarter of the Bucks’ 134-106 win over the Portland Trail Blazers Monday night, the elder Antetokounmpo had gotten 4 DNP-CD’s. In Antetokounmpo’s stead, Budenholzer has been turning to versatile wing Torrey Craig to earn minutes behind two-time MVP, Giannis Antetokounmpo.
The fact that Thanasis had even cracked the Bucks’ rotation to start this season and for how long he did was notable in of itself.
