Last week I spent the MMMR extolling the virtues of just letting Giannis Antetokounmpo lead the way. What was an obvious trend at that point has now become the Milwaukee Bucks primary driver as they inch ever closer to a date with .500 destiny.

Looking at the numbers will paint only part of the picture. His on/off sits in the negative (-1.0 with him on the floor, +2.
