As we talk about the Warriors re-imagining modern basketball, it's easy to forget that somewhere in the upper Midwest there's a seven-footer playing point guard, creating in the pick and roll, delivering wrap-around passes and casually Euro-stepping from the three-point line to the rim.
The numbers don’t like it when Giannis Antetokounmpo and fellow rising star Jabari Parker (they’re both still just 21!) share the floor, which is likely due to teams just packing the paint against them. Not having shooting guard Khris Middleton kills their spacing, and Tony Snell (who they acquired for Michael Carter-Williams) is hitting below 30% of his treys, while attempting almost six a game.
